Volvo built its image in the United States on safety--and big, boxy station wagons. But the Swedish automaker plans to stop importing the only wagon it sells in this country, the V50. American consumers have migrated from wagons to crossovers, said Doug Speck, CEO of Volvo Cars of North America. He did not give a timetable for discontinuing the V50.Volvo stopped importing the larger V70 station wagon at the end of the 2010 model year and said it would not import the V60 wagon that debuted in Europe last year. "Over the last decade the traditional station wagon segment has been on a decline," Speck said. "Through that period the crossover segment has grown exponentially. The reality is the crossovers of today are the wagons of yesteryear." Volvo sold only 1,720 V50s last year, down from a peak of 5,486 in 2005. Volvo will continue to offer the XC70, which looks like a station wagon but rides higher. But Speck said the XC70 will be marketed as a crossover. Last year, Volvo sold 3,951 XC70s. "We are much more focused on succeeding with the XC range," Speck said. "The V50 decision is consistent with that strategy."

Since 2011 the new V50 is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon with increases in size appearing most notably in the width, 79,6 inches (10 inches wider). Available in two trims, the T5 and the T5 R-Design, the Volvo V50 comes with 2.5-liter, I5, 227-horsepower, turbo engine. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard. Unique premium leather seating surfaces are new to Volvo V50 (available in the R-Design version). It also includes unique floormats, aluminum accents, steering wheel, upholstery and gauges. The Volvo V50 T5 version includes a High Performance Sound System with HD radio, Bluetooth, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. As for safety features, the new V50 boasts Dynamic Stability Traction Control, all-disc anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, side-impact and side curtain airbags.
While other wagons are burly, bland, and unresponsive, the Volvo V50 presents a flash of lightning coupled with dazzling design that makes it a star. The V50 can throw down enough thunder on the highway to breeze through congestion, but it's the refined handling which provides the smooth enjoyment of the ride. But that's not the only reason why drivers love it. The V50 is also an expressively styled vehicle, featuring a body design that exhibits a nice mix of elegance and athleticism. Where others fall short, the V50 prevails, gaining more and more momentum with each passing day.
