Build Quality

The Volvo V50 is an exceptionally solid feeling car which should prove durable and in typical Volvo fashion should retain its youthful looks mile after mile.

Value For Money

The Volvo V50 T5 SE is good value for money offering above average levels of standard equipment. Volvo is committed to safety and the V50 boasts an impressive safety package, many of these safety features would be optional extra's on some of its rivals.
