Hello,

We are looking to buy a newer (used) Volvo but do not have much first hand information on them. We like the V50 or the C30 as our choice of models. We prefer the naturally aspirated engine as opposed to turbo. The 2.5 turbo engine seems to be already chosen for us, as it is exclusive to most years. We see there is a 2.4i in some years, which years? what does the i stand for?

Speaking of years, what years were the V50 and C30 made?

These are the years: C30 (2007-2013) and version 2 of the S40 & V50 (2005-2012) with what they called the "Face Lift" from 2008. Not sure what the i stands for but it's not a turbo...the 2.4 and 2.5 is the size (cc's) of the engine.. there's also a T5 designation that has a higher pressured turbo. I hope that this info helps.
