The 2008 Volvo V50 gets freshened exterior and interior styling. This is Volvo's entry-level wagon. A sedan version of this car is available as the S40 (see separate report), and both body styles share some elements of their basic design with the Mazda 3. All have a 5-cylinder engine. The 2.4i has 168 hp; T5s are turbocharged and have 227 hp. All are available with front-wheel drive, and the T5 can be equipped with all-wheel drive. Automatic transmission is standard. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A blind-sport monitoring system is newly optional. AWD T5s include a firmer sport suspension that's available for other models. Also available are a navigation system with pop-up dashboard screen, leather upholstery, heated seats, and sunroof.
