Stew http://rexgorellvolvo.com.au/531871-380677-volvo-v40-2016.html HI, a friend is looking at this model to buy. Not sure on the good and bad for this model. Looks as though it has the 6 sp auto box - is that the same as the one in the earlier Volvos (ie the ford powershift???) Any tips Thanks Stew
Philia_Bear Chris;115171 wroteEcoboost, presumably a cousin of the one used in the Focus This Whatever ford 1.6 puts out 150hp is the right engine The t3 is unstressed and is a really solid engine Also easy to work on and easy tune to 180-200hp

VolvoMike The engine is the Volvo VEA family and not ford. The T3 is 1.6L 112kw 250 torque, T4 is 2.0L 140kw 300 torque both with 6 speed and T5 is 180kw 350 torque with the 8 speed.
