Volvo's latest generation of low-emission Drive-E engines will join the V40 range from May.

The CO2 emissions of the 190hp Volvo V40 D4 with manual gearbox are down 99 g/km (down from 114g/km) wigh fuel consumption of 74.3mpg on the combined cycle.

The D4 Drive-E is also available in Cross Country variants with figures of 104 g/km and 70.6 mpg for manual versions.

"The outstanding take-off and responsiveness of the Drive-E engines, combined with a smooth engine sound, will make the cars even more fun to drive, without compromising on modern customers' demand for superb fuel economy and minimised CO2-emissions," said Michael Fleiss, vice-president Powertrain at Volvo Car Group.

The new D4 will also be available to order with Volvo's new eight-speed Geartronic automatic gearbox, with emissions of 109 g/km (67.3 mpg) while the V40 Cross Country Geartronic produces 112 g/km (65.7 mpg).

Also joining the new D4 in the V40 is the 245hp T5 FWD (front-wheel-drive) from the new Drive-E engine family. Fitted as standard with the new eight-speed automatic gearbox, CO2 emissions have decreased to 137 g/km (from 187g/km) and giving fuel consumption in the combined cycle of 47.9 mpg.

The D4 and T5 are available to order now, however production start of the D4 will be September.
