The Volvo 440 and 460 are two versions of a small front-wheel-drive family car that Volvo produced from June 1988 to September 1996, the 440 as a five-door hatchback and the 460 as a four-door sedan that followed in 1989. They were built at the NedCar factory in Born in the Netherlands and shared floorpan, suspension, Renault engines, gearboxes and brakes with the earlier Volvo 480 coupe. The range was meant to replace the 340 and 360 and came from the Galaxy project that also produced the 850. Peter van Kuilenburg is credited with the design, which stayed close to a 1980 proposal by Jan Wilsgaard, and Volvo never offered an estate version of it.
