New Volvo SUV properly motivated In order to take advantage of the S40's lack of heft and more stable chassis, Volvo turned its attention to yet another piece of the sport sedan puzzle — proper motivation. In place of the previous 1.9-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, the S40 now offers a base 2.4-liter five-cylinder or an optional turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder. With 168 and 218 horsepower, respectively, these engines deliver horsepower numbers that are nearly identical to the competition. And unlike the prior model, either of these engines can be coupled with a manual transmission for those who want the true sport sedan experience.
Although the base 2.4-liter engine actually produces slightly less power than the previous 1.9-liter, the fact that is does so without the help of a turbocharger gives it a different feel in day-to-day driving. The power delivery is much more linear, with a steady, if not overly powerful surge over the entire rpm range. It won't impress your passengers with its power, but nor will it leave you pining for more with every shift. Even with the help of a five-speed manual transmission, the base S40 is hardly fast, but the more we drove it, the more we realized that it's a capable engine that most drivers would find perfectly adequate.
