I am so glad to see Volvo still taking safety so seriously even under their new owners from the far east. I am quite certain that almost every other manufacturer would have launched it in India minus the pedestrian airbag if not without the driver knee airbags. I know that there will be doubts regarding the pedestrian airbag firing on the smallest of provocation but the technology will get better and I think it's a great step in the right direction.

In a country with the highest number of road accident deaths, we should really appreciate and encourage manufacturers who give emphasis to safety and do not downgrade their safety equipment list when they bring their vehicles here. Some even downgrade the quality of metal used.

The pricing is great too. If I were in the market for a car in this price range and lived in a populous cities like Mumbai and Kolkata, i'd love to buy this one.

A friend got the preface lift V40 CC for 34lac OTR! Think it was a sweet deal.
Guess the Thor lights takes this to another level with respect to looks.
