Volvo Car Corporation conquers Geneva with class-leading efficiency and dynamics in a compact package

Volvo Car Corporation's launch of the all-new Volvo V40 is perfectly in tune with this year's efficiency and downsizing trend at the Geneva Motor Show.

"The V40 proves that class-leading fuel efficiency in a compact package can be combined with exciting driving
dynamics and the full deck of features consumers expect from a true luxury car," says Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation.

With hard economic times and rising fuel costs looming over the automotive industry at this year's Palexpo show, Volvo Car Corporation's dedication to the exciting blend of efficiency and dynamics gives the company a sharp competitive edge in the race towards the future.

"An overall fuel consumption reduction of 13 per cent over the past two years puts us in the top among European car manufacturers when it comes to fuel-efficiency improvements. In 2012, we are taking the next steps," says Stefan Jacoby.

The all-new Volvo V40 reinforces the company's leading position. The D2 diesel is the most efficient version with fuel consumption of 3.6 l/100 km, corresponding to CO2 emissions of 94 g/km.

"The V40 also features class-leading driving dynamics and a full deck of support and safety features that makes it the outstanding offer in the segment," says Stefan Jacoby.
