| V50 is larger than the V40 estate it replaces; and it's a lot more accomplished. A pleasingly sporting drive, it's not a hugely cavernous load-lugger but it's a versatile all-rounder. |

| The estate version of the latest S40, V50 is just as good to drive and even better looking. It wraps all the class of larger Volvo estates in a sportier package. Intended to rival 3-Series Touring, A4 Avant and Accord Tourer, V50 is not cheap. But it's good value in its sector, with powerful engines - including the exciting 2.5-litre T5 turbo and a fine new 2.0 turbodiesel - and excellent engineering. The four-wheel drive T5 doesn't feel as fast as it actually is; that's largely down to excellent sound insulation and overall refinement. It's also a more precise drive than its front-wheel drive S40 counterpart. The user-friendly modern cabin is comfortable, with excellent seats and a fine driving position. All versions are well equipped and well made. The load bay is on the small side, but rear seats fold flat. V50 is not a family utility purchase, but a fine way into Volvo estate ownership. |
