From reading various Volvo V40 Club posts, it's apparent that the V40 variant names differ for different parts of the world. So far I've seen mention of Summum, Momentum and Kinetic. Here in the UK we have ES, SE, R-Design and Cross Country. http://www.volvocars.com/uk/Documents/Volvo-V40-pricelist.PDF
I'd appreciate a link to the non-UK brochure so that I can compare it with ours.

On a personal level, perhaps it's time I came out of the woodwork. I've had a short test drive in a D2 accompanied by a salesperson. However I prefer a petrol car and I've requested an unaccompanied extended (100 miles) test drive in a T4 and I'm eagerly awaiting my dealer locating one for me.

In South Africa they're called Essential, Excel, Elite .............

in singapore there's only 1 spec = Cross country with a T4 and it costs a crazy £95,000.00 - enough to buy 4 nicely specced v40 in the UK! (thats cos almost 75% of that goes to some form of tax!)

It's the same name in France for the different versions

Hiya

I am from UK and bought the D2 SE Lux and was a bit disappointed that the badging only reflect V40 and D2 only

No mention of the SE LUX

Ireland has the D2, D3 and T3 engines (T4 may be released later) for the V40; Cross Country only launched this week so not sure of engines.

V40 available in ES (base) SE and SE Lux variants.

I have the D2 but with exterior pack (eg 18 inch wheels and twin oval exhausts) so I got the dealer to remove the D2 badging (just use a credit card and prise it off!!!)

.......... so I got the dealer to remove the D2 badging (just use a credit card and prise it off!!!)

Didn't it leave a mark? On the car I mean, not the credit card.

 

[MMY]

No, it doesn't leave a mark...in fact I must look at seeing if I can remove the Volvo lettering aswell ... that might confuse the neighbours, although the rear end is quite distinctively Volvo-esque.

 

[Yellowbelly]

........... in fact I must look at seeing if I can remove the Volvo lettering as well ..........

I don't like having the Volvo name in such a large script on the back either. Let us know how you get on.

I think bodyshops slice off stuck-on badges using a length of nylon cord.
