Volvo introduced a facelift for the 2012 V40 and while it slightly improved the car's look, it greatly improved its fuel-efficiency and carbon footprint.
The first generation of the V40 was introduced in 1995 as a station-wagon version of the S40 sedan, a vehicle built in cooperation with Mitsubishi at NedCar in the Netherlands. After 2004, that lineup ended, and there was a gap until 2012 when Volvo returned on the market with the V40. This time it was based on Ford's C-Global platform used for the Focus range. In 2016, Volvo introduced a facelifted version.
Volvo started to work hard under the new Chinese ownership. The engineers were not limited to work with Ford parts only and with some rules that they couldn't understand. In the end, the designers took the lead and drew a car to fill the needs of a compact-sized station wagon and as a hatchback as well. The clean, minimalist style design featured few attractive ideas such as the T-shaped daytime running lights within the headlights and the lower bumper shape. A wide grille with vertical slats and the diagonal bar for the Volvo logo adorned the front fascia.
There were subtle changes on the door-mirrors casings from its sides, where the turn-signals were longer than on the non-facelifted version. In the rear, the taillights' flowing line was similar, and it took an expert eye to separate the 2016 model from its non-facelifted brother.
Volvo installed some new engines under the hood and decreased its offer to just six from eight as it featured on the non-facelifted version.
