Turning Radius: 17.5 feet
Length: 177.7 inches
Width: 69.7 inches
City Slickness: Tight turning radius; visibility; space efficient and re-configurable

The little V50 wagon boasts some serious space efficiency. With very compact outward dimensions, there’s space for four adults — maybe five in a pinch — and their luggage. And because it’s a wagon, the roomy interior can be configured quite easily for various combinations of passengers and cargo to suit your weekend trips to the ski resort. The sporty T5 model adds a 218-hp turbo five and can be equipped with the optional all-wheel drive while still keeping the price under $30,000. With a tight turning radius, a small footprint and good visibility all around, it’s a breeze to park and maneuver. Factor in all the safety features we expect in a Volvo and you have a safe, luxurious city car.
