Volvo V40 CROSS COUNTRY 2013-2019 — Coilovers

The V40 Cross Country’s whole premise – a standard V40 hatch lifted on taller springs and clad for a rugged look it rarely needed – is exactly what a coilover kit exists to undo. This is a front-drive, nose-heavy hatchback on the Ford-derived P1 platform, and the soft, raised Cross Country setup trades body control for that elevated stance. A coilover hands the ride-height and damping decisions back to you.

Across six type options – Super Sport, Top Sport, Racing Spec, Tarmac Rally, Drift Spec and Circuit Master – the range runs from fast-road usability to dedicated circuit work. Whichever you choose, the aim on a 2013-2019 V40 Cross Country is consistent: drop the centre of gravity, tie down the roll those tall CC springs allow, and recover the steering precision the raised platform blunts.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Volvo V40 Cross Country

Lower the V40 Cross Country onto a height-adjustable platform and the first change you feel is reduced body roll – the soft, lifted CC springs are the single biggest reason the standard car leans through a roundabout. Height adjustment lets you set the drop you want, from a modest visual correction to a properly planted fast-road stance. On the damper-adjustable types you control rebound and compression so you can sharpen turn-in without making the ride brittle on a broken B-road. The flatter the body stays under load, the more consistently the front tyres bite – and on a nose-heavy front-driver, front-end grip is the whole game.

About the coilover range

A coilover replaces the V40 Cross Country’s strut and spring with a single height-adjustable unit: a threaded body and collar set ride height mechanically, so you are not stuck with one fixed drop. The adjustable types add damping control, letting you tune how the suspension reacts to inputs separately from where the car sits. The six options differ in spring rate and valving intent – Super Sport is the fast-road choice, Top Sport steps up for track-day use, while Racing Spec, Circuit Master, Tarmac Rally and Drift Spec move toward stiffer, more focused circuit, rally and drift setups. Each kit is specified for the raised Cross Country platform, so suspension geometry stays sensible once the car comes down. That matters on a front-driver, where camber and roll-centre behaviour at the nose decide how much grip you actually get.

Fitment for the Volvo V40 Cross Country (2013-2019)

This range is specified for the Volvo V40 Cross Country, chassis code VL08-1, covering the 2013 to 2019 model years. It targets the raised Cross Country variant rather than the standard V40 hatch, so strut lengths and ride-height range account for the taller factory setup. Confirm your chassis code and year against the options before configuring.
