Volvo Car Corporation is releasing the first photographs of its all-new sportswagon, the Volvo V50.
With its revolutionary interior design, class-leading safety, powerful 5-cylinder engines and all-wheel drive, Volvo's newest wagon is the perfect companion for those who need a car capable of hauling all of the important stuff in their lives.
Exhilarating design for those who live life to the fullest
From the outside, the all-new V50 is unmistakably a Volvo, a modern evolution of the sportswagon design language that began with the V70 family wagon.
The all-new Volvo V50 is a totally new five-door model with aggressive lines, intelligent design solutions and a flexible interior.
"The all-new V50 is the result of a consistent design strategy, in which the Volvo character has been developed for each new model," says Henrik Otto, Volvo Cars' Design Director. "Our new sportswagon is indisputably a genuine Volvo but, at the same time, it has its own, totally individual and distinct profile - with characteristics from classics such as the Volvo 1800 ES, Volvo 480 and its most recent predecessor, the V40."
The interior is a revolution, with an ultra-slim center console - the first of its kind in the automotive world - creating an aura of exclusivity, simplicity and space.
"The center console is a design icon for the all-new Volvo V50 and S40 sport sedan," says Otto. "What sets the all-new V50 apart is the ability for the car to carry both people and all the important stuff that allows them to live their lives to the fullest. It is truly a car with a large capacity for life!"
In the all-new Volvo V50, Volvo Cars continues its innovative use of steel. In the new, patented front structure, four different grades of steel are used in an intelligent interplay to provide maximum safety for the car's occupants. "Naturally, our goal is that the all-new Volvo V50 should be the safest car in its class," says Volvo Cars President Hans-Olov Olsson.
Side impact protection is addressed by the use of extremely rigid cross members that form a three-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 with the new slim-design 5-cylinder engines is called Volvo's Intelligent Vehicle Architecture (VIVA), and represents a new approach to vehicle safety design.
