Unconventional wisdom, beautifully applied. Strange as it sounds, creating the V50 Sportswagon started with some rather unexpected matchmaking. Unlikely couples such as athletics and aesthetics, functionality and form and subtlety and power were introduced and with more than a little encouragement, these relationships blossomed into something truly unique – a car that leads the way through the beautiful application of unconventional wisdom.
Monday is the new Friday. Something happens when you climb into a Volvo V50 Sportswagon. An indefinable sharpening of thesenses. Almost like you know that you’re about to experience something new – something special. With more than a hint of sport and a healthy dose of pure fun, this car simply, stylishly and emphatically mirrors the versatility of modern life – your life. So as you pull away, what you’ve been feeling will suddenly become clear. It’s Monday morning.
The joyous results of one-track thinking. There is only one seating position in a Volvo V50 Sportswagon – comfortable. In the same way, every item of equipment has one common characteristic – intelligence. And how did we achieve this? By only thinking of one thing when we designed it – you.
When was the last time you felt music? There is one sure way to transform a journey into an event – add some good music. If you can do this through a system that leads the way in audio excellence, all the better. Volvo’s Dynaudio Premium Sound system* delivers a seriously moving aural experience. It features a new digital class D amplifier, 12 loudspeakers from renowned Danish sound specialist Dynaudio, Dolby® Pro Logic® II surround sound and is fully compatible with your iPod® or MP3 player.
Space for pretty much everything – except stereotypes Remember a time when driving a wagon was something many people did with reluctance? How the times have changed. From tip to tail, this car is programmed to serve, built to perform and designed to protect. Within the cabin, there is space for laughter, music, fun and much more. In its choices of paintwork and intuitive features you’ll find ample opportunities to express your personality.
When your day changes fast, make sure you keep up.
With its extra wide tailgate and numerous seating configurations, the Volvo V50 Sportswagon accommodates cargo, friends and any combination of the two with consummate ease. Thanks to smart design and ergonomics with a human touch, your luggage is always carried securely without compromising rear seat passenger safety and comfort. Just load up and let everyone enjoy the ride.
Intelligent engine design starts with ditching the rear view mirror. The engines available in the Volvo V50, whether your choice is the naturally aspirated 2.4i or the turbo-charged T5, offer the security of instant response and make efficient use of every drop of fuel, thanks to low-friction engine technology and modern management systems. Both are the product of forward-thinking design, concern for the world around us and embody our commitment to deliver power with consideration.
Why hold when you can hug? It’s hard not to smile when you’re experiencing the ride in a V50 Sportswagon. Perhaps its irresistibility comes from the fact it exhilarates as effectively as it accelerates? What is beyond doubt is the fact that the application of features such as Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC), electro-hydraulic steering and a torsionally stiff body unite adrenaline with safety. Not to mention a rather thrilling fusion of performance and control.
Peace of mind, 24–7. Starting with theft-protected door locks and an electronic immobilizer, this car is a thief’s worst nightmare. When approaching the car at night, you can light up the interior and the car’s immediate surroundings at the touch of a button and with optional keyless drive*, just step into your Volvo and drive away without removing the key from your pocket. Looking for peace of mind? You’ll find it here.
SA EJJKR=PA BKN HEBA For decades, we’ve created cars that encourage people to enjoy life and help protect it in the event of an accident. Many of the most important car safety innovations are the hallmark of Volvo, and hundreds of thousands of people all over the world can say they’re still alive thanks to Volvo ingenuity. This is not by coincidence. Our founders stated that safety is, and shall always be, at the heart of what we do.
“Cars are driven by people. Therefore, the guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo is – and must remain – safety.” Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson, founders of Volvo "EPU 2=BAPU ?KHHEOEKJ =RKE@=J?A PA?DJKHKCU In 2008, Volvo Cars introduced the new XC60 with City Safety – the world’s first standard-fitted collision avoidance and mitigation technology active at speeds up to 19 mph.

Today, our own statistical database contains over 36,000 accidents with more than 60,000 occupants. In addition to studies on the scene of the accident, our researchers also investigate what happened before the crash to understand how to improve the driver’s conditions to avoid a collision.

For more than 80 years we’ve been driven by a passion for safety. We are environmental pioneers in the car industry, and have always employed a healthy respect for our limited resources and environmental responsibilities. Consequently, we aim to create new solutions that help halt climate change and improve the environment – both inside and outside the car.
,.3(.We must minimize the emissions of fossil CO2 (which leads to climate change) and increase the energy efficiency of our cars. Continuous improvements within aerodynamics, rolling resistance, lightweight materials and drive train technology help us lower fuel consumption. In our new Hybrid technology center in Göteborg, we are developing the next generation power trains for future Volvos.

SAFETY At the core of every car we make, state-of-the-art technology helps support the driver and protect the occupants. And to further enhance the Volvo safety experience, there’s a range of supplementary safety technology – for more performance and peace of mind. SAFETY Preventive Adaptive brake light Active at speeds above 30 mph, the adaptive brake light can sense the difference between normal and panic braking.
SAFETY Preventive Active Bending Lights (ABL) In addition to improving illumination using Dual Xenon light technology, the Active Bending Lights give a boost to your vision round bends at night. Controlled by microprocessors, the motorised lamps turn up to 15 degrees in either direction when driving – reliably lighting up your chosen path. A twilight sensor disengages the adaptive function during daylight to extend its life span.
SAFETY Protective In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s not the number of safety features that determines how safe a car is. It’s how well they seamlessly interact to help keep the occupants out of harm’s way. In a rear impact the rear deformation zones will help absorb crash energy. The fuel tank is designed to remain well protected in front of the rear axle.
SAFETY Security Energy-absorbing frontal structure Volvo’s patented frontal structure is built with several types of steel to allow optimal deformation – outer layers are more yielding, while steel closer to the cabin is more resilient. This structure helps absorb the impact of a collision before it reaches the occupants. The compact power train is designed to help optimize deformation.
COMFORT A Volvo is always designed for more than one. Our technology aims to enhance the feel-good factor for everybody with the privilege of riding in a Volvo. And to further improve comfort and convenience, there’s a range of clever equipment – customized for your Volvo and the people inside it.
COMFORT Climate Sun screens* Easily attached to the rear door and cargo compartment windows, these help reduce the heat and glare of direct sunlight. Simple to remove when they’re not needed. * Retailer installed Accessory Power glass moonroof* This makes the interior feel extra light and airy. It opens and closes at the touch of a button.
