What kind of engine does a Volvo S40 have?
Under the Hood. The only engine for the S40 is a 1.9-liter four-cylinder, hitched to a new five-speed automatic transmission instead of the four-speed automatic used previously. The engine is turbocharged and produces 160 horsepower, which Volvo says enables the S40 to reach 60 mph in 8.5 seconds.
