Many things go into making a Volvo unique, stop at Volvo of Lisle and find them out! The ones we value most are people. Each and everyone. That’s why we’ve encouraged our designers and craftsmen to make the Volvo S40 as inviting to ride in as it is to drive. By doing so, your friends and family are more likely to ask you to drive. And you’re more likely to want to. And the world can be a safer place for all of us to argue about the song selection.

Powertrain and Performance

Performance like this deserves an audience. It brings 227 hp of persuasion to the party along with the wisdom to make the most of every drop of fuel. The S40 is comes with a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 that pumps out 227 hp and 236 pound-feet of torque. Of course, every Volvo engine delivers a feeling of safety that comes with its ability to respond instantly.

For the best of two worlds, the 2011 Volvo S40 in Chicago in  has a five-speed Geartronic – a responsive automatic that’s ideal for relaxed driving, tough conditions or towing. This also allows manual gear shifting so you can maintain a lower gear to bring up the revs or for the added assistance of engine braking. A special winter setting makes it easier to move off and maintain grip on slippery surfaces.

At the center of this universe, there’s you and our Chicago Volvo dealership. Every control and instrument is designed to help you make informed decisions with ease. After all, the art of total command is greatly enhanced by a comfortable driving position, intuitive controls and effortless handling the same things that help make this Volvo S40 very enjoyable to drive.
