“Their outstanding take-off and responsiveness, combined with a smooth engine sound, will make the nimble V40 cars even more fun to drive,” adds the carmaker.

The diesel engine also benefits from a special i-Art technology which consists of an intelligent chip which monitors the injection pressure so the amount of injected fuel can be adjusted. More details on the company’s new Drive-E engines will be released soon.
