Volvo V50

The V50 is Volvo's premium small wagon that was first sold in the U.S. as the V40 for the 2000 model year, although it had been on sale in Europe since 1995. The name was changed to V50 for the all-new second generation that arrived in 2004 as a 2005 model, with Volvo’s Intelligent Vehicle Architecture that integrates crashworthiness, design and driving characteristics.
