Vehicle Summary

Built on a longer wheelbase than its predecessor but shorter overall, the latest S40 sedan went on sale as a mid-2004 model. Two engines are available: normally aspirated for the 2.4i, and turbocharged for the high-performance T5. For 2005, T5s can be fitted with all-wheel drive.  Read more
