The 2004-2008 Volvo S40 and V50 are compact executive cars that represent a significant shift in Volvo's design language and target audience. Introduced in 2004, the S40 was the first car to feature Volvo's new "New Edge" design philosophy, characterized by sharper lines, sculpted curves, and a more dynamic overall aesthetic. The V50, launched in 2004, was a stylish wagon version of the S40, offering increased practicality without sacrificing the sporty character of the sedan. Both models were built on Volvo's versatile P1 platform, which formed the foundation for other models like the C30 and C70.

The S40 and V50 were offered with a wide range of engines, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol and diesel options. The most popular engines were the 2.4-liter five-cylinder and the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines, available in various power outputs. The cars were available with both front-wheel drive and a sophisticated Haldex all-wheel drive system. The S40 and V50 were known for their comfortable and refined interiors, with high-quality materials and a driver-focused cockpit. The interior space was generous for its class, offering ample legroom and headroom for passengers. Safety was paramount, and the S40 and V50 came equipped with Volvo's renowned safety features, including multiple airbags, anti-lock brakes, and a sophisticated stability control system.
