A Closer Look at Volvo's S40...
S40 Specs

The S40's  lively design features strong shoulders and an aggressive grille. This car gets to the point -- fast. Its flowing lines give it not just a sleek look, but an impressive drag coefficient of 0.32. And these lines define a space within that is anything but stuffy. The S40's generous 112.7-cubic-foot passenger cabin not only accommodates five, but welcomes them with the warm embrace of skilled craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

 

Hey, you could get used to this: Adjustable driver's seat, including lumbar support. Tilt adjustable driver's armrest. Electronic climate control with pollen filter. Courtesy lighting. Power windows with driver's one-touch lowering. Heated, power operated side mirrors. All of it standard.

Volvo's encyclopedic knowledge of safety, condensed but not abridged. It is engineered to maneuver both nimbly and predictably. And 4-wheel disc, ABS brakes maximize braking efficiency. Daytime running lights and a faster illuminating LED center brake light make it easier to be seen. If an accident occurs, integrated structural elements absorb, redirect and deflect the force of an impact away from occupants. Our Side Impact Protection System features two independent side air bags to help protect head and chest. And our exclusive Whiplash Protection System enlists the entire seat to help diffuse the force of a rear impact. A comprehensive security system protects not only the car, but passengers entering and leaving it as well. At Volvo, safety is not an option; all safety features are standard.

Here is an overview of specifications for the 2008 Volvo S40
