Vehicle Summary

Built on a longer wheelbase than its predecessor but slightly shorter overall, the Volvo V50 wagon went on sale as a 2005 model to join the company's related and recently redesigned S40 sedan. Two engines are available: normally aspirated for the base V50 and turbocharged for the high-performance T5 model. Changes for 2006 are minimal.  Read more
