SA prices: New Volvo V40

Volvo Car South Africa has released the pricing and line-up for its new V40 hatchback before it goes on sale in November.

The hatchback, which will rival BMW’s 1 Series and the upcoming Audi A3 range, will be launched in South Africa in four derivatives – the T3 manual, T4 manual, D2 manual and D3 Geartronic.

'PUBLIC EAGER'

The remainder of the local line-up, including the Volvo V40 R-Design, will be available from March 2013.

The latest Volvo was launched in Italy in June, 2012 (Wheels24 was there) and will be available for test drives at Volvo dealerships from October 15, 2012.

Bram van der Reep, MD for Volvo Car South Africa, said "It is such an exciting vehicle for us and we are delighted that the public seem to be equally eager for the arrival of the Volvo V40. We couldn't have received a better indication of just how popular the Volvo V40 is going to be."
