Lack of front Fog lights

[Thekilt]

Only recently noticed our 2016 V40 inscription doesn’t have fog lights. Looked in the manual and there isn’t any mention of front fogs.
I thought it might be because of the new LED Thor lights, however I searched in the new V60 manual and they have front fog lights.

Anyone know why the V40 facelift versions don’t have any?!

Because ALL modern fog lights are useless !
Their only use is for dazzling others in the dark (also illegal).

volvo started phasing out Front fog lights around 2011 saying that the dip headlight design was now more suitable for fog conditions ..

have they changed their strategy with this recently then as all the new volvos (V60, 90, XC60 and 90) within the manuals all note front fog lights? it seemed odd how the V40 was the first to start with the Thor lights, yet all the new models ones have specific front fogs?
