2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |

2005 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 268hp 2.9L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The front leather seating is very comfortable. Having the heated front seats in twe winter allows for quick comfort. The multi adjustable seating for both driver and passenger allows for each to set seats to their liking then set in the memory location see full Volvo XC90 review |
