The new Volvo V40 has been revealed ahead of its unveiling at the Geneva motor show next month.

Leaked images of the new model – which is expected to replace the S40 saloon and V50 estate – have appeared on various websites. The images – which appear to be genuine – show the five-door hatchback has a similar look to Volvo’ S60, V60 and XC60 models.

The V40 is expected to go on sale later this year and will give Volvo a much-needed rival to the Audi A3 Sportback, BMW 1 Series and VW Golf.

More details are expected to be released closer to the Geneva motor show.
