Volvo - V50 (2012)
Looking for the Volvo V50 price? Whether you’re eyeing a Volvo V50 2012 price or hunting a great deal on a used Volvo V50 price, this guide gives you everything you need to know about the V50’s value, spec highlights and how it measures up against similar models.
Introduced in 2009, the Volvo V50 quickly became one of the brand’s most celebrated wagon-styles, known for its spacious cabin, safety‑first design and efficient powertrains. If you’ve been scouring the market for the 2012 model, you’ll find that the used Volvo V50 price largely depends on mileage, condition, trim level and market, but the vehicle has remained attractive thanks to its robust build and thoughtful interior. Now let’s dive into a concise snapshot of the 2012 V50’s key specs.
- Engine: 2.0‑L 4‑cylinder, 122 hp (with turbo options available in higher trims)
- Transmission: 5‑speed manual or 4‑speed automatic (manual preferred for the base–level models)
- Fuel type: Petrol (petrol options vary by market; diesel variants not offered in North America)
- Drivetrain: Front‑wheel drive (FWD) exclusively, with the option of a “Power‑Trim” upgrade that adds a beefier engine
- Dimensions:
- Length: 4,465 mm (176 in)
- Width: 1,829 mm (72 in)
- Height: 1,605 mm (63 in)
- Wheel‑base: 2,590 mm (102 in)

### Depreciation Insight
People often ask: what is a 2012 Volvo V50 worth? The answer varies by location and condition, but the depreciation curve is relatively predictable. Analyzing resale data and industry surveys, a 2012 V50 typically loses:
- 15‑20% of its value in the first year
- 35‑40% of its value after three years
- around 55‑60% after five years
These numbers mean that a used 2012 V50 that originally sold for $30,000 could fetch roughly $20,000–$22,000 on a clean deal at a standard 3‑year hold. Remember that depreciation is influenced by mileage—lower mileage can mitigate loss—plus any optional packages that might enhance resale. During high‑season demand (late summer, early fall) you typically see a slight uptick in prices as basic models become easier to find in lower mileage ranges.
### Comparison Context
When placing the Volvo V50 price into context, many buyers compare it against peers such as the Dodge Nitro, Ford Focus Estate and Volkswagen Golf Variant. While the V50 lags slightly behind the cheaper European compact estates in outright price, it usually tops them in safety ratings and spaciousness. The V50’s practical design and fuel efficiency give it a strong selling point over the Saab 9‑5 pro‑youth line, especially as the V50’s 5‑seat layout offers greater versatility for families and small business logistics.
