Lifted Volvo V40 Cross Country With Heico Sportiv Mods & Off-road Wheels

The Volvo V40 Cross Country is a compact front-wheel drive hatchback produced by the Swedish car manufacturer for the European and global markets. What makes the Cross Country model different from a regular V40 are the protective body panels, bigger wheels and tires, and increased ground clearance.

Its T4 and T5 variants feature Haldex Gen-5 All Wheel Drive as an option, along with hill descent control, which makes it capable of driving through difficult road conditions. Its size and overall design make it similar to the popular among off-road enthusiasts Subaru Crosstrek.

“In this review, we’ll take a look at the lifted Volvo V40 Cross Country modified by RDBase Japan for one of their clients.”

The first thing you’ll notice about the V40 Cross Country is the rugged off-road inspired design by Heico Sportiv that features black plastic fender flares to protect the body from dirt and debris. It’s certainly no shrinking violet; with its aggressive off-road wheels and plastic fender flares, it’s clear that this car is not only good on paved roads.

The body panels are also beefier than those found on the regular V40, which helps to give it an air of ruggedness. And while some might find the overall look to be a bit too busy, we think it’s just right. It’s not overdone like some other crossovers on the market but still has enough personality to stand out from the crowd.
