Volvo V40 T5 with R-Design items

The facelifted Volvo V40 can be had in a lower-spec T4 variant, after it was first sighted in Volvo Car Malaysia’s zero-rated goods and services tax (GST) price list. The T4 joins the existing T5 already on sale since January last year.

Like the T5 pictured here, the T4 comes with a few R-Design exterior items, including the front grille, bumper, rear diffuser and a pair of larger exhaust pipes. However, instead of the 17-inch five-double-spoke ‘Spider’ alloy wheels, the T4 is fitted with a set of 16-inch five-triple-spoke ‘Markeb’ alloys instead (with 205/55 profile tyres).

Under the bonnet, the T4 is powered by a Drive-E 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 190 hp at 4,700 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 1,300-4,000 rpm. Those figures are less than what the T5 offers (245 hp and 350 Nm), and the T4 gets a Geartronic six-speed automatic gearbox instead of the T5’s eight-speed unit. The top speed is rated at 210 km/h and the 0-100 km/h sprint takes 6.9 seconds.

Equipment-wise, the T4 shares many similarities with the T5 like the Intellisafe suite of systems – City Safety, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Cross Traffic Alert (CTA), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and many more.

There’s also auto-levelling LED headlamps with Thor’s Hammer daytime running lights, dual-zone automatic climate control with a Clean Zone air quality system, eight-speaker audio system, leather upholstery and powered Comfort seats with memory function for the driver.

Being the base V40 variant, the T4 gets a standard instrument cluster instead of the T5’s digital display system, rear Park Assist only (T5 gets front and rear) and a five-inch display for the Sensus infotainment system (T5 gets a seven-inch display). Other differences include the absence of a decor inlay for the leather steering wheel, keyless entry and drive and Park Assist Pilot.

In terms of pricing, the GST-inclusive on-the-road price without insurance is set at RM163,888 until the end of May 2018. Of course, you’ll be more interested with the GST-free price, whereby the V40 T4 will retail at RM154,648.93, or RM9,239.07 less. When compared to the GST-free T5, the T4 is cheaper by RM16,037.74.

A five-year/120,000-km mileage warranty comes as standard, and customers can choose from four exterior body colours – Bright Silver, Onyx Black, Osmium Grey and Ice White. Interested?

      It still looks better than the ugliest and cartoon design
      of Toyota CHR anytime.

      After all Volvo is still a Premium brand.

      Safety features are industry first and world benchmark

    Dear Volvo, why Malaysia cant get the V40 with adaptive cruise control and auto-braking? You have to include this to compete with A class. City Safety is only up to 50 km/h only. Are u competing with the new MyVi?

    That’s one good news, now even more affordable! It’s good in terms of placing more safer cars on the road.

    Awesome pricing. Make the golf tsi seems overpriced. Imho, add another 16k and get the gti baiting V40 instead. I am getting older, volvo comfy seat and plush suspension works fine for me

    Well Volvo Powershift is not as fast as DSG that shift in quarter miliseconds. Everything have a price to pay. Well better get Passat 1.8 with BiXenon LED Headlamp. bigger Trunk and more space!

    • Can you really feel it on the quarter milliseconds faster and then bear with a unreliable DRY CLUTCH DSG PASSAT gearbox?

      I better go for a reliable and more trouble free gearbox instead.

    OMG, the V40 T4 looks like value for $$$ when compare to a Golf Tsi. It has a 2.0 engine instead of 1.4 liter.
