The Volvo V40 will bear styling changes in the front and rear profiles of the model from its bigger sibling.

For transmission, both the engines are likely to come mated to six-speed automatic gearbox.

Inside the cabin too, the Volvo hatchback is expected to have the same styling of its V40 Cross Country with features like climate control system, auto bending headlights, panoramic roof and Adaptive Digital Display Console.

The hatchback is likely to be offered in front wheel drive D3 variant and T4 petrol variants. Once the new Volvo V40 hits Indian market, the car will take on the likes of BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz B-Class. To be brought to India as CBU (completely break-down unit) route, Volvo V40 hatchback is expected to get a price tag in the range of ₹22-25 lakh.
