The D2 auto would probably manage 10 mpg better , but that volvo 5 cylinder is worth it :-)

I don't believe any Volvo's with the new D4 have been delivered yet... at least the Volvo PR said they wouldn't be until September!

The new D4 engine (4-cyl, 190 bhp) is available to test drive at my local dealer..... have driven it in a V60 and it is very nice with great in-gear performance, but clearly misses out BIG time as it doesn't have that famous 5-cyl warble....

yes the D4 has been in the V40 a couple of months now , and the T5 245 bhp has just arrived . When the AWD development is finished and mated to the new engines it might be available in the V40 , It was in the V50 ..

The new D4 is an awesome engine (400 Nm), it's faster accelerating than the T5 I think. It is quieter than the D5 while it does it however, but does a lot more miles to the gallon. Volvo are taking orders from Mid August
