The V40 is slated to replace the S40 sedan and V50 wagon, which were discontinued for the 2012 model year in the U.S. The V40 wagon was dropped after model-year 2004.
Though we can’t glean too much from the shadowy image, it looks like V40 is a compact hatchback. Based on its size, it’ll likely slot above the C30 two-door hatchback in Volvo’s lineup.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
