In 1927, Volvo began building cars with the debut of its first model, the "ÖV4," which would later be affectionately known as "Jakob." Next year marks the brand's 90th anniversary.


The special limited edition "V40 T3 Anniversary Edition" has been released to commemorate this milestone year. Based on the "T3 Kinetic," the entry-level gasoline engine model of the V40, it comes equipped with the HDD Navigation Package.
