Was there ever a D5 AWD in any markets?

Does anyone know if Volvo ever offered an AWD V50 with the D5 engine? I know that in the UK it seems like AWD only ever came with T5 engine, but wondered if they sold that combination anywhere else in Europe. Seems like AWD would be a bit of a no-brainer in the homeland...

I'm rather attached to the D5 for the 5cyl noise and economy, but toying with the idea of some subtle mods, thought an AWD would make a great Q car baseline.

I have a D5 engine with 6-speed gearbox and AWD

It's an XC90, MY2009

Yep, I knew the XC60 AWD kept the D5 for a while, but I'm trying to track down if that combo ever went out on V50

There was a V50 T5 awd in 2007 (MY2008) but I don't recall a D5 awd being made.

Yep, knew about the T5. I managed to get a reply from Volvo cust services and they say it was never offered in any markets. Shame.
