Volvo India launched the S60 Cross Country in India earlier this year. We even had the opportunity to review this crossover from the Swedish automobile manufacturer. Recently, the company unveiled the 2016 edition of the V40 and V40 Cross Country. As we wait for the model to make its Indian debut soon, images of the crossover in the flesh have surfaced on the web.
The updated V40 receives not only a few changes to the interior and the exterior, but also some new updates to the engine lineup. On the outside, the model receives the signature ‘Thor’s Hammer’ headlights, a slew of new paint jobs and eight new wheel designs.
