Carbon Fiber Accents Inside and Out


Among Volvo's hatchback "V40" models, the "V40 R-DESIGN" stands out, featuring the new-generation 2-liter inline 4-cylinder direct-injection turbo "T5" engine, boasting a maximum output of 245ps (180kW) and a peak torque of 350Nm. Its sporty exterior, with a silk metal frame front grille and diffuser, and its interior, with leather combination seats, make it the top-tier model.


This year, as Volvo marks its auspicious 88th anniversary, the "V40 R-DESIGN Carbon Edition" emerges as a special limited model based on the "V40 R-DESIGN," enhanced with carbon fiber to elevate its sportiness.
