Volvo V40 R-Design: sporty looks but not so fast on the lease rate – just £239 a month

VOLVO is expanding the V40 hatchback range with a sporty looking R-Design model.

What’s more, the new Volvo V40 R-Design will be available on a monthly business car lease rate of just £239 a month.

Among the stand out feature of the Volvo V40 R-Design are a re-profiled front bumper and rear diffuser, five-spoke 17 inch alloy wheels, special nubuck upholstery, sports steering wheel and pedals and vertical LED day-running lights.

Despite the sports appearance, there is no go-faster penalty on company car tax or runaway fuel costs to contend with.

The D2 model, with a 1.6 diesel engine and just 94g/km CO2, has a company car tax band of just 13% for the 2013/14 tax year.

Business car drivers can expect to pay as little as £48 a month in company car tax to drive a Volvo V40 1.6 D2 115HP R-Design Start/Stop model. Meanwhile fuel economy is an astonishing 78.8mpg, stretching out the stops for fuel.

“We have the D2 sub 100g/km model in all trims, not just our sport R-Design V40,” commented Selwyn Cooper, national corporate operations manager at Volvo Cars. “It provides the Volvo V40 with great tax efficiency but without any design compromise.”

“The V40 is also the safest in its class, scoring the highest ever Euro NCAP safety rating.”

Prices start from £22,295 for the Volvo V40 D2 R-Design up to the T5 Geartronic R-Design Lux Nav, available from £31,390.

For business users, Volvo Car Leasing has a business car lease on the V40 R-Design from £239 a month on a 6+35 profile over 30,000 miles or £259 for a lower initial deposit on a 3+35  payment profile, again over 30,000 miles.
