Described by Volvo as a 'sportswagon', the V50 shares many of its styling cues and components with the new S40 saloon and will reach UK showrooms in the spring.
Three petrol engines (a 125bhp four-cylinder 1.8-litre, a 170bhp five-cylinder 2.4-litre and a 220bhp turbocharged five-cylinder 2.5-litre) and a four-cylinder common rail diesel have been announced so far, with four-wheel drive available on the T5.
On-the-road prices are expected to start at less than £17,500, with Volvo expecting to to sell 8,000 in a full year in the UK.
