Easy on the eyes.
Easier on the environment.
Easily yours.
The exceptionally clean Scandinavian design of the Volvo V50
DRIVe Start/Stop helps it cut through the air with fuel-saving
ease. Sipping barely 3.9 litres of fuel for every 100 kilometres
– with an average carbon dioxide emission of just 104 grams
per kilometre – this aerodynamically-optimised sportswagon
makes eco-driving a beautiful thing. The lowered chassis,
low-drag wheels and instant power of a super-efficient engine
with Start/Stop technology are just a few of the fuel-saving
refinements that make this car more earth-friendly and more
fun to drive.

Can cheating the wind be good for it? We think so. Design and drivetrain modifications significantly reduce
air-resistance and minimise CO emissions. For example, a special front grille, spoilers, wheel deflectors,

aerodynamic wheels (15" or 16" Libra) and a lowered chassis help reduce drag. And Volvo's state-of-the-art
240 Nm common rail turbodiesel Start/Stop technology, brake energy regeneration, heightened gear
ratios, optimised electro-hydraulic power steering, newly-developed transmission oil (that reduces internal
resistance), and energy-saving tyres – all help lower CO emissions significantly.
