Given the growing interest in the entry premium car space, I can now share with you that we will also have the regular V40 very soon. And here's why this is important from Volvo's perspective.
Ever since Mahindra first launched the XUV 500 in September 2011; it managed to create an almost cult-like following for the vehicle. It's now received a facelift and we drive it to find out more.
