Our quick take
Volvo V40 T2 R-Design Nav - 3.5 / 5
OveR-Designed?
Still a Volvo at heart
A digital Volvo?
An old fashioned interface
Like a Focus, but not quite as good
A safe steer
To recap
Safe as houses, but with a bit of added design bling, the R-Design V40 could be the thing for you if you’re looking for a Volvo with attitude. But ultimately we think the R-Design trim sits uneasily with the relaxed, easy-going qualities of this car - and it doesn’t have the all-round attributes of the class leaders
