The facelifted 440/460 replaced the original in the autumn of 1993 for the 1994 model year, with a new bonnet and nose, new rear light clusters, body-coloured bumpers, a different grille and new engine, trim and equipment options, making the cars resemble the Volvo 850; the range was now base, S (with two fold-out child booster seats, a dustbin in the dashboard and rear headrests), Si, SE, GLT and CD trims (an Li with power steering also appeared), and from 1995 all engines came with all trims. Engines: from 1994 they became slightly more powerful (the page gives no figures) and a 1.9-litre Renault turbodiesel of 90 PS (89 hp), badged TD or Turbo Diesel, was offered; the infobox lists the 1.6 B16F, 1.7 B18F and B18FT turbo, 1.8 F3P, 2.0 F3R and the 1.9 F8Q turbo diesel, and a short-lived 1.8 HTA used the CVT. Production ended in late summer 1996 when the S40/V40, sharing its platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma, replaced it. Wheelbase 98.5 in, width 66.4 in, height 54.7 in; length is 171.1 in (440) or 174.6 in (460).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
