Volvo's V50 sportswagon has been given a comprehensive update for 2008 wîth revised exterior and interior styling, new safety features and enhanced storage and versatility. Inspired by the redesigned V70 family wagon, the V50 gains a new front fascia, egg-crate grille wîth a 50 percent larger Ironmark badge, redesigned headlamps and full-width lower air intake. Evolutionary changes continue at the rear, wîth slimmer taillights equipped wîth LED brake lights, restyled bumper and bright tailgate molding.
With its revolutionary interior design, class-leading safety, powerful 5-cylinder engines and available all-wheel drive, Volvo's most attainable sportswagon is the ideal companion for young, active families on the go. Yet the Volvo V50 is a genuine premium car that can be equipped wîth many features available on larger Volvos.
All models are fitted wîth the new Automatic Hazard Warning system. Should any of the V50's airbags be deployed, the hazard lights will automatically be activated to attract the attention of other motorists. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is now standard, while Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is a new option available on all models. New Active Bi-Xenon headlights that swivel the light beam in continuous synch wîth §teering direction are available for T5 models.The V50's signature ultra-slim console offers a new look for 2008. For the first time, Nordic Light Oak wood inlays can be specified for the cabin of the V50 2.4i as part of the Select Package. Aluminum inlays remain standard on the V50 T5 and V50 T5 AWD. These models gain redesigned instrumentation wîth sporty watch dial gauges. The V50's redesigned floor console features increased storage space, a more compact handbrake and a revised armrest for greater driver comfort.

A choice of powertrains gives each V50 model a distinct character. A normally aspirated 5-cylinder engine that produces 168-horsepower motivates the V50. Boosting the fun factor, horsepower for the T5 high-pressure turbocharged engine is increased from 218 hp to 227 hp. All V50s are equipped wîth a 5-speed 'Geartronic' automatic transmission wîth 'Auto-stick' function.The V50 provides confidence-inspiring performance wîth each powerplant. An extremely rigid platform affords levels of §teering precision and suspension nimbleness found in the top vehicles in its class. Advanced braking, §teering and chassis systems enable the V50 to feel secure in its capabilities across a broad spectrum of driving conditions.
In the V50, Volvo continues its groundbreaking use of high-tensile steel. In the front structure, four different grades of steel are used in an intelligent interplay to provide maximum safety for the car's occupants.
Side impact protection is addressed by the use of extremely rigid cross members that form a 3-way attachment between the leading edge of the A-pillar and the base of the B-pillar. Similar cross members are found in the rear doors as well. This system of energy absorption, along wîth the slim-design 5-cylinder engines is called Volvo's Intelligent Vehicle Architecture (VIVA), representing an innovative approach to vehicle safety design.Source - Volvo| Land Rover Celebrates 65 Years Of Technology And Innovation | |
