Volvo V40 Wiper Blades Size Guide

The Volvo V40 is a compact hatchback, positioned below the V60 in Volvo's wagon and hatchback range, with an earlier station wagon generation built on the same platform as the S40, and the more recent hatchback and Cross Country variants sharing Ford's C1 platform with the Focus and Mazda3. The current generation V40 (2013 to 2018) takes a 26 inch (650mm) blade on the driver side, a 19 inch (475mm) blade on the passenger side and an 11 inch (275mm) rear blade, though sizes vary across the earlier wagon and Cross Country variants. Front wipers use a push button connector on the current generation and a J hook connector on the earlier wagon, and every V40 variant covered here is fitted with a rear wiper as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Volvo V40 take?

The Volvo V40 takes different wiper blade sizes depending on generation and variant. The 1997 to 2004 station wagon uses a 21 inch (525mm) driver side blade and a 20 inch (500mm) passenger side blade, while the current generation V40 (2013 to 2018) and the V40 Cross Country of the same years both use a 26 inch (650mm) driver side blade and a 19 inch (475mm) passenger side blade.

Does the Volvo V40 have a rear wiper?

Yes, the Volvo V40 is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard across the generations covered here. The 1997 to 2004 station wagon uses a 16 inch (400mm) rear blade, while the current generation V40 and the V40 Cross Country both use an 11 inch (275mm) rear blade, sold separately from the front pair. Owners should replace all three blades at the same time for consistent visibility.

What wiper connector does the Volvo V40 use?

The Volvo V40 uses a J hook connector on the 1997 to 2004 station wagon, while the current generation V40 and the V40 Cross Country both use a push button connector.

What is the difference between the Volvo V40 and V40 Cross Country wiper blades?

The Volvo V40 Cross Country uses the same wiper blade sizes and connector type as the standard V40 hatchback from the same generation, since both models share the same windscreen and wiper mechanism. The Cross Country's raised ride height and body cladding do not affect wiper fitment.

How often should I replace Volvo V40 wiper blades?

Volvo V40 wiper blades should generally be replaced every twelve months, or sooner if streaking, skipping or noise appears during use. Strong Australian UV exposure can shorten rubber lifespan, so more frequent replacement may be needed in some climates.
