Power went from 180 hp in the 2005 V50 to 179 hp in the 2008 V50. It got heavier along the way: 1,485 kg for the 2005 car, 1,520 kg for the 2008. The most powerful here is the 2005 Volvo V50 at 180 hp (134 kW). Quickest from 0 to 62 mph: the 2005 Volvo V50, in 7.2 s.
The Volvo V50 is the station wagon version of the Volvo S40 small family car ("C-segment") first unveiled at the 2003 Bologna Motor Show, both assembled at Ghent, Belgium. Sharing the Volvo, Ford, and Mazda Global C-car Platform with the European 2nd-gen Ford Focus and the Mazda3, the V50 featured interior "theatre" lighting, a floating center console, and "Volvo Intelligent Vehicle Architecture".
