== Overview ==
[[File:2005 Volvo V50 SE 1.8 Rear.jpg|thumb|left|Pre-facelift Volvo V50 SE (UK)]]

== History ==
[[File:2008 Volvo V50 (MY09) LE station wagon (2015-07-15) 01.jpg|thumb|left|Facelift Volvo V50]]
[[File:2008 Volvo V50 (MY09) LE station wagon (2015-07-15) 02.jpg|thumb|left|Facelift Volvo V50]]
[[File:Volvo V50 R-Design (Facelift) – Frontansicht, 12. März 2011, Düsseldorf.jpg|thumb|left|Facelift Volvo V50 [[Volvo R|R-Design]] (Europe)]]
For the model year of 2008, the V50 received revised front styling, minor modifications to the interior, optional active xenon headlights, audio systems, increased power and torque of the T5 engine, availability of the [[Volvo D5 engine|D5]], with a six speed [[Manual transmission|manual]] and a 1.8 Flexifuel engine.

For 2009, the V50 T5 was available in the United States, only as an [[Automatic transmission|automatic]] AWD model with the [[Volvo R|R-Design]] trim package, and within Europe with both manual and automatic options. As of the model year of 2010, the D5 inline five diesel engine was no longer available; only the 1.6l and 2.0l diesel inline four units could be specified.

In 2010, the new, larger, circular Volvo logo appeared on the front grille, in the United States, a manual transmission was briefly available with the T5 AWD version. In North America the naturally aspirated five cylinder engine, all wheel drive, and manual transmission were all dropped for the model year of 2011, leaving only the automatic, front wheel drive T5 in base and R-Design trims. The model year of 2011 was the last for the V50 in the United States and Canada.
