沃尔沃V40合成图近日曝光，虽然现行版是五门掀背车，但新车将回到其旅行车的老路上，成为S40轿车的实用衍生版本。该车很多元素取自新一代XC40紧凑型跨界车，新车将让人一下子就爱上旅行车，大家都希望真正的V40能像合成图一样漂亮。与XC40一样，下一代V40也采用CMA平台，两款车的轴距也一样。因此，可以预见两款车的很多部件也将共享，包括共享动力系统和几乎相同的配置。顶级款T5Twin Engine预计将搭载一台1.5升三缸涡轮引擎和一台电机，未来还将提供给60系列车型，其中内燃机引擎功率约为180马力，电机功率75马力。该车搭载近10千瓦时电池组，纯电动模式续航里程32公里。预计新一代V40将于2020年底亮相。

 

Volvo V40 Render Will Make You Fall In Love With Wagons Instantly

Having seen leaked official images of the new V60 and being very fond of the V90, we have high expectations from Volvo as far as the next-generation V40 is concerned. While the current car is a five-door hatchback, it is believed the revamped model will revert to its wagon roots, back when it was a more practical derivative of the S40 sedan.

 

Using styling cues from the new XC40 compact crossover, the overhauled V40 should make you fall in love with wagons and we can only hope the real deal will be just as nice as this speculative design exercise. Like the XC40, the next-gen V40 will ride on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) and is expected to have just about the same wheelbase. It would make sense for the two models to share a lot of the components, including a very similar engine lineup and an almost identical suit of tech features.

 

The top-of-the-range variant will be the T5 Twin Engine for which final technical specifications have not been disclosed yet. Due to debut in the V40 before the year’s end, the plug-in hybrid powertrain is expected to combine a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor. It will eventually be offered in the 60-series cars and will offer roughly 180 horsepower from the combustion engine and an extra 75 hp from the electric motor. A battery pack with a capacity of almost 10 kWh should have enough juice for a zero-emissions range of approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) in the real world.

 

As to when we’ll get to see the new V40, chances are it will debut before the end of the decade, after the S40 previewed by the 40.2 concept shown almost two years ago.
