Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2012 V50 V50.
The 2012 Volvo V50 V50 is the V50-engined variant of Volvo’s V50 line, an identity that pairs the same designation under the hood as on the badge. Recorded model-year complaints span 2004 through 2011, peaking at 18 complaints for the 2005 model year and bottoming out at 2 for the 2009 model year. That leaves the 2012 model year outside the documented complaint window, so its reliability standing is not represented in this data set.
