Everything around, except for people, becomes smarter and functional. We are accustomed to shifting our workers for techniques, and engineers spend countless man hours to make their devices and mechanisms universal and smarter. This trend is fully fair and in the world of cars: the cars are thrown by chips and rims, with which the driver will soon have to turn in the cabin only the radio volume knob. The new crossover Volvo V40 Cross Country is just that - promises to deliver anywhere with a complete relax and almost on autopile.
To do this, you just need to order a car in the configuration close to the maximum. At a starting price of 1,189,000 rubles for the front-wheel drive 180-strong car, our test apparatus is almost twice as expensive: 2 179 999. Although I calculated that from this top car you can "painlessly" throw out options for almost 300 thousand - so that The overall impression of it will not change. And the basic V40 Cross Country with a full drive and the same as we, a 213-powerful motor stands at all from 1,279,000 rubles. A good sentence, but what will be the V40 Cross Country in the case?
Volvo V40 Cross Country attracts maximum attention on the road. From each second car, an interested opinion, once every two days inquiring in the parking lot. And representatives of Volvo say that the novelty caused a slight excitement among customers, and a solid queue has already been lined up
Immediately striking that in this car there is a mass of original and beautiful details both outside and inside. The artists tried well to raise the pensioner image of the brand from the minds of buyers. Double exhaust pipes, rapid embossed sidewalls, bold spoiler, arrogant hood, chrome rails. What to continue here - see pictures! Inside, too, cool: the central console is soaring in the air (at least this solution is not new), the interior is highlighted from all sides, and the tidy almost interactively the notorious Ipada. And weakly find an elegantly hidden drive gap for CDs? Here it is, at the junction of the gray and silver panels of the central console!
But there are also miscalculations, and they concern, first of all, space in the cabin. The front seats are set high, and even with my height 176 cm. The place of place above the head when the chair is lowered is minimal. If you are a little higher and do not like to sit on the floor, then get ready for a meeting of the macushkin with a glacial door and upholstery of the ceiling. Perhaps the problem can be partially solved by refusing a luxurious panoramic roof for 33,000 rubles. Another correspondence with the driver's place is a massive step "Podium", on which the front seats sledstones are installed. Change the pose by booting under it the left leg is impossible.
Laying problems continue to emerge and when meeting rearly nearby. The sofa itself is comfortable and equipped with a classroom cupboard in the middle of the pillow, a comfortable armrest, as well as folding head restraints. But to enjoy it all, you must first get there. Here the difficulties begin: the opening of the rear doors is narrow, and the space for the rear passengers is quite a bit. And when you get out of the car, beautiful silver pads on the thresholds (option for 14,900 rubles, by the way) with pleasure, your pants are pleased.
Fully hand drawn tidy-chameleon is available as part of the CITY package for 75,200 rubles. A similar solution is gradually included: it can be found, for example, in the executive limo Jaguar XJ and on some cars of other brands. "Drawn focus" strongly untied the hands of the Creators of Volvo: You can do with the instrument cluster almost all the same as with your smartphone: to begin with change the topic by choosing from three available. Change both the color range of devices and their inscription and their mutual location and display type. Would you like more contrast? Please turn the corresponding menu item. And here there is no banal onboard computer window: you can refuse it to be completely or a couple of clicks to enter into an existing combination of instruments with a display of certain data.
- Where to put a mobile phone in the Volvo salon? If not in the cupboard, then in the niche at the central console. But the latter in favor of design is made soaring, and the shelf is located behind it. Therefore, on the move behind the phone do not reach. This is the Safety Associated Volvo - Do not take your hands and use Bluetooth!
- A USB slots and a 12-volt rosette are hidden in the glove compartment. But for some reason, the slot under the wire did forgot - another reason is not to use the mobile phone behind the wheel?
We continue the setting of the V40 SS for yourself. ATTENTION Attracts slyly hidden light bulbs with soft interior lights. The lower and upper zones are configured separately - you can make a barrel or pleasure. And the mood diode in the ceiling console can be painted in any of the colors of the rainbow. After that, the fact that the memory of the seat of the seat has a three preset, no longer surprises. But the weighty remote control of music and climate is cool even after all seen. True, for this beautiful option will have to pay a little.
Like everything in this car, the remote control is "designer". The handle of the transmission selector also pulls on the work of the art of a local scale (and at the same time reminds Haytete-joystick to Toyotovsky Prius). And look at the rear view mirror - it resembles a dear thin-frame TV from the last line of some fashionable brand
The T5 series engine has five cylinders with a total volume of 2 liters, and turbocharging provides returns to 213 "horses" and 300 N · m. It looks impressive, but also weighs our car a lot: 1509 kg, and this instance is also additionally packed by all than possible. Check whether the power crossover is enough. Yes, for the eyes! It is difficult to imagine why there is an option to select a 249-strong 2.5-liter T5 with 350 N · m traction. The start from the place is not impressive, but here is the pickup from the go more than convincing: this sacrifice bullets in a straight line no worse than hot hatch, and passports 7.2 seconds will not be allowed to doubt this! The gearbox is here - quite a short-circuited TF80-SD automatic machine from AISIN. It has six gears and accessible sports and manual modes of operation. And both are managed only by the selector on the central tunnel - no submissive levers. Only a little pity that the V40 Cross Country is slowing down by the engine.
Well, what in turns? Here is not everything is smooth. In vain, engineers did not consider it necessary to bring the electric powerlier (for surcharge, he can have three installations of feedback efforts) to the ideal: the steering wheel itself is enough, sensitive and rather "short", but in turning the ram is very empty, and the driver's connection with controlled wheels is lost. And it seems that the car does not have to grieve on this topic, but against the background of excellent acceleration and braking dynamics, this miscalculation still upsets. Yes, and the suspension here is quite dense to ensure good and understandable handling and very small rolls.
Although the chassis brings something: from the sough expecting to definitely greater the overall energy intensity of the suspension! In addition to this, the settings of the front and rear suspension are a bit mismatched: to understand this, you need to slip through a pair of layer policemen. The front wheels within a reasonable tightly take the load, working out irregularity. But when it comes to the rear, the body shakes an unexpected an uppercot with several fading oscillations. Very rustling back! Therefore, in front of the "sun beds" behind the wheel of the V40 Cross Country, you will slow down the same as lovers of low cars.
But is everything so sad with bad roads? Off-road ride on the Volvo V40 CC, at first glance, is almost oxymoron. Well, what can be geometry with 145 mm clearance and long front skel? Yes, and the move of the suspension, as it turned out at the very beginning of the tests outside the asphalt, is minimal. But not everything is so unequivocally: first, on the V40 CC installed the Haldex drive system of the most recently, the fifth generation, and secondly, the car boasts an excellent rear geometry and even the presence of electronics, insuring when the mountain descends from the mountain. Check how it all works!
In the process of crawling, even on the light rods, the hanging of one of the rear wheels comes immediately. For business, Haldex 5! But the car stands on the spot and turns in the air wheel. In order to go further, you need to include the sports mode of the stabilization system (however, not one touch - for this you have to dig in the onboard system) and set turns - the electronic imitation of the differential blocking will arrive instantly, and the coupling instantly distribute the torque, after which the V40 Quite confidently gets out of the ambush. A full-fledged diagonal hanging delivers a little more hassle, but also does not immobilize the car completely.
According to the results of a walk through the snow-covered cheeraika verdict, it became clear enough quickly: even the decently risking road is unlikely to become a serious obstacle to the V40 CC technique, but to ride the ruts, space and other obstacles requiring good geometry, do not: modest road clearance and The front bumper, behind which the eye of the eye, will very quickly cool your dust. At the same time, very modest suspension moves are completely compensated by the skills of a well-configured full drive of the last generation. Haldex Genv Coupling, as well as the predecessor unit, distributes torque preventively based on signals from the mass of sensors. Constructive differences are reduced to the fact that the node became easier and more compact due to the use of a special valve friction package instead of a solenoid with a separate battery.
By paying the Volvo auxiliary electronics, the driver gets a cool and useful upgrade of his V40 Cross Country. So far have not yet created a full autopilot, we can enjoy adaptive cruise controls, circular radars and other auto parkers who also make a lot of life. The radar in the radiator grille (pay attention to the solid plastic area) is responsible for feeling the road in front of the machine, and the camera in the top of the windshield monitors marking and signs. All this brethren of "electronics" carefully rises the surrounding environment during a ride, but if you prefer not to receive extra tips, then all of them can be deactivated, the benefit of the settings is enough.
The camera is quite good recognizes road signs, but it is not necessary to fully rely on her work. In the city, she thinks that we are in Europe, and from somewhere takes restriction 50, some signs miss. But if it is fair, then sinning to scold electronics, when you yourself do not always understand, at what speed it is allowed to go through our roads. But with the Moscow markup, even piled by snow and mud, the artificial eye copes well. The tracking system for the strip works adequately and at the same time unobtrusively: vibrations on the steering wheel are not annoyed, although sometimes they are confused with irregularities under the wheels.
Another interesting toy is an adaptive cruise control system. Its functionality does not just hold on to ahead of the machine on the track, but also pushed in traffic jams on ultra-long speeds. The car itself slows down and accelerates, unless there was a complete stop - then you have to touch the gas pedal with a slight touch or pressing the key on the steering wheel, after which the V40 Cross Country will independently adjust the speed taking into account the distance to the car in front. The radar works better than you expect, and quite apply in the context of the metropolitan cleaner. There is only one thing: the stock that Volvo leaves ahead, allows you to take particularly coup drivers to get in front of you. There is also a system of full automatic braking, but it is better to test it in the "laboratory" conditions that we will definitely do in the near future.

The component responsible for the Offroud, the Swedish model is not as strong as the nearest competitors - Mini Countryman and Subaru XV. Yes, in the list of Volvo V40 Cross Country options, all-wheel drive transmission, an assistant movement on the descent, wheels of solid diameter and protective body kit. But the clearance is only 145 mm, and the body surges on the standards of crossovers are vigilant (908 and 816 mm). However, the driver's potential is obvious: the chassis is tuned with an eye on the asphalt, the engines of the Drive-E family are equally efficient and economical, and by the number of electronic assistants and branded security systems, the car pretends to leadership in the segment. As for appearance, it solved in a win-win scandinavian style: minimalism, bright designer moves and expensive finishing materials.
Small yacht
High subcast line, coupe-shaped roof, wheeled arches muscles, rails and spaced over the edges of bumper nozzles exhaust ...
V40 Cross Country looks like hot hatchback - designers showed vision, making a bet on a youth audience. And the recent restyling added the "Swedes" of solidity: Model year cars are fed by a cellular grid of the radiator, a larger Volvo logo and new block headlights of the "Thorah Hammer" - like the 90 series machines.
The interior design is resolved in the style of S60 and XC60. Electronic instrument shield offers excellent graphics and advanced functionality. And if desired, the driver will easily configure the "tidy" for himself. The quality of the finishing materials does not complain. This is without exaggeration a premium level and exquisite solutions. You can choose both restrained, "Scandinavian" and brighter colors.
In the salon V40 Cross Country cozy, but without ergonomic miscalculations. Main complaint - to flavored, and in both rows. The branded "steaming" central console grows space in the area of \u200b\u200bthe knees of the front sedimons. Behind the same high-growth passengers not only wear the backs of the first row's chairs, but also risk torn the head of the ceiling. Meanwhile, it is nice that the rear sofa for extra charge can be heated.
The volume of the trunk does not have records too: only 324 l, and the opening of the fifth doors is narrow, and the threshold is high. These are cons. If we talk about the pros, then the backs of the rear seats are in the proportion of 40:60, due to the additional panel of the raised floor (optional), a smooth platform for booties is obtained, various devices for fastening bags are provided.
It must be said that after Rasyling, the Salon of the Crossover did not look ultrace. The architecture of the central console with the battery buttons and togglers - as if hello from the past. The five-fashioned multimedia screen for today is small. Want a display with a diagonal of seven inches? Order a multimedia system of more expensive - with a rear view camera, navigation and better music.
In the Arsenal of the Swedish crossover - Assistants informing about road signs and driver fatigue, adaptive cruise control, as well as the City Safety system, which can independently stop the car at a speed of up to 50 km / h
Be that as it may, the light chalk retro does not diminish the wealth of electronic filling. At the bottom of the above console, the rear-view chamber control buttons are located, rating systems, warnings about the danger convergence and auto parker. In the Arsenal of the Swedish crossover - assistants informing about road signs and driver fatigue, adaptive cruise control, operating at speeds up to 200 km / h, and the City Safety system, which can independently stop the car at speeds of up to 50 km / h and recognize pedestrians. Finally, the proprietary application for Volvo On Call smartphones after restyling supports Apple Watch or Android Wear, as well as devices with the Windows 10 operating system.
Choose to taste
Mechanical transmission for the Swedish model in our market is not provided. The most accessible versions are front-wheel drive. If you wish, to save the buyer can choose a 1.5-liter 152-strong gasoline motor in combination with a 6-speed automaton or a 2-liter 120-strong diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed robot. Both options are optimal not only in terms of price, but also due to a moderate appetite of power units: fuel consumption in the mixed cycle will be only 5.6 or 3.9 l / 100 km, respectively.
But, if neither twist, the listed modifications are compromise. Completely "Swede" is revealed with 2-liter gasoline engines (190 and 245 liters p.). The machine with a 190-strong unit is offered both with front and complete drive. Both versions are very interesting in terms of dynamics. De facto 5-cylinder engine turns the V40 Cross Country to sports car, allowing to move very vigorously and, traditionally for the Swedish brand, without any nervousness. The six-speed AISIN automaton does not allow neither jerks or delay when switching, and the steering wheel with a clear reactive force adds confidence when maneuvering. However, everything is known in comparison. The machine with a top 2-liter 245-strong unit causes a complete delight. And lightning reactions on gas, and the ability to spurt both with medium and high speeds. At the same time, the all-wheel drive car consumes only 8.5 liters per 100 km in a mixed cycle. The operation of the 8-speed automaton is also worthy of compliments. Transfer switches softly, and in case the driver wants the maximum drive, the sports mode is provided.
Suspension V40 Cross Country - Pick about two ends. On the one hand, the short-terrestrial chassis allows the inclination at the highest speeds and feel connected with the machine. On the waves of asphalt, the car does not swing and is practically indifferent to the beacon. To knock him down from the trajectory - the task is not from the lungs. On the other hand, the adaptation of the suspension to Russian realities does not matter. The chassis is frankly tough. The running part is working out in more detail the pits of any caliber, so if you go on broken roads, passengers, especially the second row, is hardly a pleasure.
Image - all!
The off-road potential of "Swedes", as already mentioned, modest. Increasing the clearance (relative to the relative model V40) is achieved not by recalibrating the chassis, but by setting the wheels of larger size. Geometric Patency and Four-Generation Haldex Coupling Based Based Course will allow to get to the cottage, but on the blurred primer rain, and even more severe off-road, it is better not to smack: a small ground clearance and passenger suspensions "include red light". In other words, Volvo V40 Cross Country is a good sports hatchback with a powerful image component. This is if you call things about your own names.
Now about prices and competitors. The introduction into the line of the initial front-wheel drive version with a 1.5-liter 152-strong gasoline unit made it possible to keep the price tag at 1,399,000 rubles. For comparison: SUBARU XV model, which is offered only in all-wheel drive execution, costs at least 1,599,900 (per version with a 2-liter 150-strong gasoline engine and variator). And for the front-wheel drive Mini Countryman 1.6 AT (122 l. P.) They ask 1 541 500. As you can see, the price advantage is on the side of the "Swedes".
Another argument in favor of the VOLVO crossover is a rich basic equipment. Standard equipment, V40 Cross Country 1.5 T3 AT SUMMUM provides seven airbags (including knee airbag for the driver), cruise control, rear parking sensors, double-zone climate control, driving seat electric drives, mirrors and side windows, and "music »HIGH PERFORMANCE. At the same time, branded security systems, if you buy them in the package, there are quite reasonable money. A G.

The international premiere of the Volvo V40 hatchback with the CROS COUNTRY prefix was officially held in the framework of the Paris Automotive Show in September 2012 and was unexpected, because the public expects to observe the XC40 crossover from the Swedish manufacturer.
In March 2016, the Fifty will appear on the Motor Show in Geneva in an updated case with a contaminated "face", an extended list of available equipment and slightly improved interior.
The five-door body of the Volvo V40 Cross Country is closed in a stylish and expressive design, and its differences from the usual "forties" are reduced only to a slightly enlarged road clearance, plastic linings on the bumpers and thresholds and the standard wheelbase dimensions of 17 inches.
The length "raised" hatchback consists of 4370 mm, which fits the 2646-millimeter base of the wheels, in width - 1783 mm, in height - 1458 mm. The luxury under the bottom of the equipped car is set at 144 mm.
Inside Volvo V40 Cross Country copies the standard model: beautiful and modern decoration, noble finish materials and a premium level of execution. The front armchairs in the "off-road" hatchback cozy, with a well-developed profile, but the rear sofa, despite the layout hospitable for two passengers, is not distinguished by redundant free space.
The cargo capacity is not the strength of the "raised" Volvo V40 - its volume varies from 335 to 1032 liters. But positive points in the "Triam" piggy bank make an ideal form, high-quality finish and "dance", placed under double floor.
Specifications. In the Russian market, the Volvo V40 Cross Country is implemented with four engines to choose from, exclusively automatic transmissions and standard front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive technology with a multid-wide Haldex fifth generation multi-wheel drive, which connects the rear axle, is available for the "top" versions.
- The gasoline part of the "off-road" VOLVO V40 is represented by three versions - T3, T4 and T5:
- The initial version is equipped with a 1.5-liter "four" with turbocharged and direct nutrition, outstanding 152 "horses" at 5000 rev / min and 250 Nm of the maximum moment at 1700-4000 rev / minute and operating with a 6-speed "automatic".
- An intermediate version is laid 2.0-liter unit with a turbocharger and direct injection technology, having in its arsenal of 190 horsepower at 5000 rev / min and 320 nm of torque at 1500-4000 rpm.
- The "top" modification is equipped with the same engine, but with double superimposure, with the result that it generates 245 "mares" at 5500 rpm and 350 nm at 1500-4800 r v / min. Both engines are associated with an 8-speed automatic transmission, only four-wheel drive are available for the "older" option, and for the "younger" also the front.
Gasoline "Sockeys" demonstrate good running quality: they are "shooting" up to 100 km / h for 6.1-8.5 seconds, and 210 km / h are typing. Passport consumption of fuel they range from 5.6 to 6.4 liters on a combined "honeycomb".
- The D2 diesel modification is the most low-power in the Volvo V40 Cross Country line - under its hood is based on a row four-cylinder turbine vehicle with a volume of 2.0 liters, producing 120 horsepower at 3750 rpm and 280 Nm of peak torque at 1500-2250 rev / minutes.
The partnership with it is the 6-speed automatic transmission, which allows the machine to swap 190 km / h, leaving behind the first "hundred" in 10.6 seconds, and spend no more than 3.9 liters of fuel in a mixed cycle of driving.
Constructive Version Cross Country almost completely repeats the base model: Ford C1 front-wheel drive architecture with an independent chassis "in a circle" (front of the McPherson rack and the back of the "multi-dimension"), electric power steering and brake discs on four wheels, supplemented with ventilation on the front axle.
The differences between the off-road hatchback are only in other calibrations of springs and passive shock absorbers, as well as raised by 12 mm body.
Configuration and prices. Russian VOLVO dealers offer V40 Cross Country in Summum, Momentum and Ocean Race equipment at a price of 1,309,000 rubles.
Already in the "base" car has: ABS, ESP, seven airbags, two-zone "climate", rear parking sensors, front armchairs with heating and electrically regulating, premium audio system, leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and other modern " Sticks. "
The Volvo V40 hatchback in Russia is sold only in the "off-road" modification of Cross Country - with an increased by 12 mm road lumen, larger wheels, other bumpers and roofing testers. Prices begin with 1 million 189 thousand rubles for the front-wheel drive version T4 by a SDvumlitron turbo engine (180 hp), a six-speed "automatic", family airbags, climate control, CD-receiver and City Safety. Adlya "fittings" We took the hatchback in the T5 modification with forced to 213 hp Engine and full drive. Vbzaya configuration Such a five-year costs 1 million 279 thousand rubles, but we have a complete set of options: leather interior, electric drive front seats, glass roof, navigator, rear-view camera, bi-xenon headlamps are different, which is more expensive than almost twice - 2 million 219 thousand rubles.

Volvo V40 is the most stylish among all models of Volvo. Introducing something among the universal and hatchback, it is distinguished by a dynamic silhouette that is not characteristic of the Swedish brand. Complex, but the harmonious plastic of the body gives a car sportiness and light aggression. Especially the V40 is good from behind - elegantly curved rear lights with LEDs and a large spoiler over the rear door endow it with a special charm, and the black insert under the rear glass continues the tradition of the outrageous C30. From eternal family values \u200b\u200b- forward to youth dynamism! And the speakers do not occupy this hatchback. Overclocking is powerful and smooth, with diesel drive, the steering wheel "short" and accurate, and all other mechanisms in this car work perfectly. Is that the suspension is harsh, and low-profile tires are poorly tolerated pit and cracks of our roads.
The interior is the kingdom of Scandinavian design. Simplicity of forms and reverent attitude to the material are brought to perfection. The traditional "steaming" console of the instrument panel with four "twist" and the "man" of the climate installation is covered with a whole keyboard of the buttons. On the go to play on this "piano" not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. The abundance of various settings and multistageness of the actions necessary for this, in my opinion, are in contradiction with a complication of VOLVO security cars. Of course, a pillow for a pedestrian and automatic braking, preventing the hit, is great, but at the same time wide front and rear racks significantly limit the overview, the camcorder is quickly covered with mud, and the markup tracking system loses its meaning along with its disappearance. Of all the devices, the most useful in Russian conditions would be, perhaps, the BLIS SIS-topic and a pedestrian recognition in the dark.
Progress Do not stop, and Volvo V40 is on its top. It remains to regret that our country is still at the foot.

Volvo. I rush. Not a sausage in a small Spasskaya, but a man. Which sounds proudly. Especially - in such a silence, which is violated only by a quiet "odd" five-cylinder rug of the Volvov Turbomotor.
It would seem that the "hatch" of the golf class on the basis of the previous focus for two more than a million rubles - Brad of Crazy, Alice in Wonderland, robbery in broad North Day. But I'm not offended. Moreover, I am pleased. Behind the wheel of the Volvo V40 XC (you already allow and here to cut the company Cross Country) Feel - this is premium. And finally, the case is not at all in numerous seifsty systems: you remove all these radars and cameras, "Society" Volvo will remain more than worthy of a rival car "Big German Troika". After all, the "unit" of BMW is much easier, in Audi A3 there is too much game in Golf, in the Mercedes A-class it is even more. And here ... Focus? What are you - this is a slightly trimmed Volvo S60. Taste. Dignity. Tightly covered with skin steering wheel is light, but informative: in moderation - feelings of the road, moderately isolation from the outside world. In a straight line, the car goes like herself, in the devices - complete submission to the driver and even honed nest. Powerful acceleration - with delay, but Gentlemansky. "Automatic" planve, suspension is fit and energy-intensive. Normal clearance. Four-wheel drive. And the radar cruise control, which can lead you even in the city.
And I do not understand what was fired by Steve Mattina. Now he is in Lada, but V40 is his last brainchild at the VOLVO chief designer, and I remember with what excitement he came to the booth of his former employers at the Paris Motor Show, where for the first time demonstrated a new "Socipte". I have nothing to be ashamed - Well Done, Steve.
And I, perhaps, would go on such a car, whether it is a little more advantageous. And cheaper.

I do not understand why this volvo suddenly became Cross Country? Neither for country, nor all the more for the cross, he is not a google. And let the giant wheels and unscreased overlays on the thresholds and bumpers try to give it for the crossover, but the frequently passenger traffic clearance will not be misleading.
Pain his gran turismo? Again, by: long-range travel trunk is fragrant, and under a hefonic underground is only a routine-crutch.
Maybe Family-Room? The setting inside is cozy, albeit in the spirit of Scandinavian technomalism, materials on the envy of many, and the underlined security worship - about the same. It remains to "fit" on the "steaming" console - to decompose on the places the branded sticking of the blind keyboard and replace a similar on a cheap craft from the store of Chinese baubles lever gearbox with a luminous selector scheme.
No, Family-Room is also not suitable. In the back row, closely, the roof presses the roof, the feet are stuck in the cabin under the front seats - and even my fourteen-year-old son was attached about the low doorway.
That seems to be released: Town Streets! Feeling yourself with the fastest fish in a dense urban jamb. Only an unimportant review back and frightening red flashes and a siren system warning system. Although it can be either disabled, or configured to less panic pads.
Under the wheels - snow porridge, but on dense and plump, like BMW, steering wheel - the transparency of the summer sky. Heavy, like a frame SUV, a guide to the flying gait, turns into a flying gait, the gearbox does not harm, and a five-cylinder turbo engine on a golf-class hatch-bey is simply obliged to be a provocateur.
With such talents, it does not even scare the price tight over a million. But I would still change my name to everything was honest.

No this is cross and not country! And in general, from which side I looked at the new Volvo V40 in a pseudo-road crude, a solid image did not see. Design, sorry, too. Here the Volvo C30 has it. The XC family also closes individuality. And here is a faceless collective image on the theme of the current Hatchbacks of the golf class.
Well, at least that from the inside the car is perceived as an ethnic "scandinav": aesthetically licked, affecting flawless materials and fars with electronic assistants of the last generation. Instead of cameras behind the situation in the dead zones, microwave sensors are followed - this is also a technical indicator. But why do I sit so low? Why, driving to parking, scraper on ice plastic body kit? Yes, because from the real Cross Sountry there is no trace there. So enjoy the dynamic "shootings" of a 250-strong turbomotor, rejoice at the highway controllability and in no case come from the asphalt.

Iron Mark, Iron Symbol, Mars Sign, Cumbage Order ... Does he still be-ten on the Volvo nose? Did you have time to change it to stylized Venereino the mirror? Who is in the light of all Mile, premail and more fashionable? Of course, V40 Cross Country!
The crossover is not the floor and not calling, it is a trend, styl. This is a look. Large shoes on high soles to sustain in tightness, advanced device devices, fucencing of the illuminated transmission selector - here is the hero of our time. More precisely, the heroine.
Step into the street. And there...
Oh, God, I am threatened with danger in the blind zone! Distance is reduced! Speed \u200b\u200bis exceeded! We lose our lane ... how to live scary!
Come on the number of panic attacks of on-board electronics, by zeal, with which the car blows, defending "from the fool", and in importance that the Swedes give the promotion of such systems, the drivers of the most entry level of training driving are not simply not excluded, but And especially welcome. Here it is, the new breed of Volvo Driver: if even the cook is able to manage the state, then who will not cope with the little Volvo then?
If you are just such a "desperate housewife", hung on a cautious little crossover V40 Cross Country in version T5, I hurry to delight you - you have a chance in court, otherwise to return each of the spent 2 million 219 thousand rubles each of it spent on it. Because you were deliberately misled: to promote V40 in Russia as a parkettail much more promising than as a "hot hat" he is by birth.
If you turn off all electronic substraters and find a pen, from which it has not yet had time to retreat winter ... What, to hell, the mirror! Flame motor, light-legged "Avtomat", Muscular chassis and filigree handling - here he is, Male Volvo-Drive!
It's great that the Swedes finally managed to poison with BMW and Audi on the riding temperament, which was outlined a refusal of excessive glamorousness in the appearance that the new chief interior service was invited from Bentley, who will probably bring order in the Swedish family of pens and buttons before the driver. Maybe then marketers will find the courage to spit and declare that Volvo is still a brand of male genus. Or not? We have already learned this on the emblem.

Here you, buyers, wagon. Large, with a roomy interior, a powerful engine - and even with a complete drive. Take?
Never-e-e, we do not need a barn!
And if we are a little "lifthem", put in black plastic and let's call an SUV?
Here you have a dialogue explaining why the "ordinary" Universals of Subaru Legacy and Volvo V70 have already left from the Russian market, leaving Outback and XC70 instead of themselves. Audi A6 Avant is still holding down, but last year such universal sold about thirty pieces - Allroad more popular ten times! Is it anyone to be surprised that Volvo decided not to bring the "regular" hatchback V40 to our market by betting on his "cross-board" version?
But one thing is a big wagon-grafted off-road (he is at least a unpacked plastic body kit), but a golf class hatchback with disguised under the case-protected inserts will give way to absurdity, except the oxyment of the "kenguryatnik". And it's a shame, because by itself Volvo V40 I liked it.
Did the love of Russians for the ostentatious "SUV" are so great that you can sacrifice beauty? In my opinion, "simply" Volvo V40 is one of the most beautiful cars of our days. But the true purity of his lines to us, alas, not to see.

Surprisingly interesting salon! And before the driver - the real control panel! Sit down - and for some time you forget about everything in the world. In the middle - the panel with a wonderful graphic, a huge transparent hatch in the roof, an unusual glowing handle on the gear lever ... But when it becomes necessary to use all this beauty, you get freeze again, but already from confusion. Small buttons are scattered through the center console, and they will not use them on the go without skidding. To simply turn on the sound of the audio system, you must not press the wheel, but only on one part it is. I used to when you click on the seat heating button, the display appears on the button itself. And here sting-sting, but nothing lights up. I thought that it was not working. Later I understood that you need to look at the display. It was noted the almost complete absence of a review of the back - and remembered that with a similar problem, it was also faced with a wheel of an equally spectacular C30, which, by the way, has a lot of common features with V40: from the interior design to a stunningly beautiful back of the body.
The car rides very well. Reception-tai, reliable, intelligible. This car is like a cozy blanket on wheels, in which every time it is pleasant to poop. And yet I miss the sparks, a light, a small decent, who should live in my car. Does not start.

In the Russian representative office, Volvo, in contrast, let's say, from the author, the question of the premium status of the brand has been resolved for a long time - and, of course, positively. Therefore, the advertising slogan for the hatchback V40 Cross Country on the mercability of the creative can only compete with the "delights" from BMW - "Innova"! And the union of two stickers on the doors parked near my home hatchback gave birth to another more strange combination - "Innoye Obukhov".
Stop, but it's right! Fifteen years ago, the company Obukhov, at that time, the ordinary service for the repair of the Swedish car, offered "tuning on the contrary" - an increase in the road lumen on passenger models, the installation of the bottom protection of the bottom ... Then the Swedes treated these experiments skeptical, although Obukhovtsy actually anticipated the appearance Cars with CROSS, Scout and Alltrack consoles! Now the road is much better than then, but, like you, the demand for raised versions is only grows.
If you are also needed such for everyday war with borders, then V40 Cross Country is a very good option. Of course, provided that these fights you will lead alone or maximum together. Because the trunk is no modest here, but the rear places ... what rear places?
But in front of something cool: excellent finish, beautiful, multiple dashboard. And the V40 is traveling as it did not dream of any of the cars modified in Obukhov. Really advertising slogans really have such power? His chassions V40 Cross Country really reminds me of BMW! Dense suspension, informative steering wheel, fast and accurate reactions. I have never been driving Volvo so good.
"Innoye" gives rise to delight! I got it ...

Volvo happens and painful, but in general this style is more like pleasure. The car is plump, and the hood would be used for greater in size; However, for the rear passengers, it is close, both in the knees and feets, and in height - I am not a god of the news of what a giant, however, how "for myself" fit barely.
That's the wheel of it good. Perhaps, for one thing: a tachometer on a fashionable "virtual" shield came out for me, and the meaning of the testimony is symmetrically located on the other side of the speedometer, I could not understand on the move. I suspect that she tells about saving fuel, and if so, then I do not regret at all that I had forced to ignore her movements. For I hung up the right pedal from the soul - and, I must confess, delivered himself pleasure. Very nice, especially when the zone allowing for overtaking is just two hundred meters, and you easily fit into this framework. And the uncombly rocus of the motor's sweat is pleasant. However, I will not call a completely comfortable ride: if the machines are smoothed on a good move, it is necessary to temper the pressure - and the suspension will begin to allow both the digging, and the detailed repetition of the holes and the protrusions. Yes, and she is talking on Colds.
That's what I liked unconditionally, this is the behavior in turns. The stabilization system in the control process is not interferes at all, allowing you to slide in small angles. She wakes up exactly when I myself am also going to adjust demolitions and drifts.
Other electronic assistants are upset by the same part. Take, for example, reading road signs. With regard to the homeland of our - catching trick. Here I props a lying policeman, in front of which sign with a number of 20, and there is no cancellation sign! And here I'm going with an incorrect tip, until another restriction is met.
From warnings about dangerous rapprochements in the capital, too, one fruit. These advisers work without tired, which is why they are in panic from close and inevitable crash. I want to immediately throw the car - and striving in the subway, so that no longer go to the roads.
If you will leave for ride, exactly on the car easier.

In the competition for the most meaningless option in the Russian market with a huge margin, the recognition system of road signs will be defeated. Although in Volvo V40, these signs are removed very convenient - in color, on the field of a liquid crystal "speedometer". A label appears on the interactive scale, and exceed the speed - and the sign will flash for a couple of seconds.
That's just in four out of five cases, the actually allowed speed was completely different! The main puncture is that the camera does not recognize the signboards of the beginning and end of the settlements, which we mainly determine the speed mode. The system and intersection will not "recognize", which most often on our rules there are no signs of speed limit signs.
In second place in the fundamentality ranking - a strip helping system. Why exactly help, not retention? Because Volvo does not infuriate, but only hints at the intersection of marking with weak steering vibration. When we traveled to the V40 Cross Country "to Peter in the detour" (AR No. 7, 2013), the vibration was almost constant - on our winter roads on the markup all the time you have to run, riding pits, ice and snow.
Active cruise control ... Well, perhaps, I will not put forward it in the third place - I will leave the "bronze" for the seven-color lighting of the cabin. And the cruise control, by the way, works here with zero speed, that is, can lead the car in traffic. Delays in acceleration and braking are, but not catastrophic. And if you do not bother you that the distance until the crawling machine is always like that that someone can get (again Russian specifics!), Then the active "cruise" will actually allow you to relax at the wheel.
Let the electronics be our future. Volvo assures that to perform an ambitious plan so that by 2020, people did not die in this brand in this brand, only by electronic means. Almost all reserves are chosen in more traditional "automotive" regions, perfection is almost achieved.
But it turns out that the car for 1,3 million rubles (in the basic configuration of the V40 Cross Country I lack only heating of the seats) is almost twice as much. Only the color of "metallic" from Volvo costs 40 thousand rubles, and "assistants" is more expensive. Well, all of them!

The front-row chairs have good side support, the back profile is very successful, even when driving for long distances, the driver does not get tired.
The front row of the seats has the authoring, also heated all seats. Some complaints can cause a rear row of seats. The places for the feet of the tall passengers will be clearly not enough, but to use the car as a family, when children will sit behind the back - an excellent solution.
