One of the most notable new features of the new Volvo S40 is the afore-mentioned stack which links the tunnel console with the instrument panel. Such feature is a new solution in the automobile world. Another features is the centre stack’s control that has an ergonomically and functional design which is divided into two halves. The control panel top half is used in operating the audio system and the integrated phone, while the other half is for climate system control.

The Volvo S40, V40 and V50 are entry-level luxury cars / compact executive cars produced by Volvo Cars. There have been two generations, the first launched in 1995 and the second one in 2004. The last one is listed by Forbes as one of the best luxury cars for young affluent drivers.[1] It is ... the most popular car among women in the luxury segment in the US market according to J.D. Power and Associates.[2]

It's impressive in these beginning stages of inflation that the 2005 Volvo S40 is less expensive than the 2004 model it replaces. And this is a real makeover. In the past, a Mitsubishi platform was beneath an S40. This year, it's a Mazda 3 platform... used for the Ford Focus in Europe. Ford owns Volvo now, and, to its credit, has not neutered it as GM is doing with its acquisitions. Not only is the 2005 Volvo S40 one of the safest cars at any price, but it leads the way with some better ideas.

The interior of the 2006 Volvo S40 is unique and styled to appeal to a young audience. The first thing you'll notice is the ultraslim center stack, which has a distinct Scandinavian design and allows for more storage up front. Interior trim choices include faux metal, faux wood, real aluminum or a transparent material reminiscent of an iMac computer. The ergonomically designed seats are available in different upholstery types, and adults will find adequate legroom in both the front and rear.

The Volvo S40 and V40 were introduced back in 1995 and they have been very successful. Their design has been acclaimed, their quality has been shown to be top class and, when it comes to safety, these cars have been among the very best in their class. If this was not apparent before, it became obvious in the EuroNCAP test in 1997. Fourteen cars of this size were tested and only the Volvo S40 and V40 were awarded top marks (four stars).

The Volvo S40 and V40 are ... quieter - partly as a result of the upgraded engine suspension. The noise level from engine and wheels has also been reduced using new and improved noise insulation between engine compartment and interior and as a result of the new front suspension. The new common rail diesels and the upgraded turbocharged petrol engines are also quieter than their predecessors.
