VOLVO is the latest upper-medium car manufacturer to offer a Sport version with styling cues from the range-topping high-performance model. Sport variants of the S40 saloon and V40 estate are now on sale with 16in alloy wheels, black headlamp surrounds, front fog lamps and part leather trim shared with the 200bhp T4 model.

The models are available with a choice of five engines including the two 1.9-litre diesel units, and with prices starting at £16,245 on-the-road for the S40 1.8 Sport.
