Default 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.

Yes the V60 was available with the D5 and AWD but it is pretty rare (I have one)...

Hi
Which model are you talking about.
In my country, Finland, they used to offer the D5 AWD in S/V/CC 60, 70,90 series.
For MY 2017 it has changed some and you can get the 90 series in D5 AWD but the 60 as its being faced out comes only as a twin engine hybrid version D5 AWD. However these are all 4 cyl engines nowadays.

They never did a D5 AWD V50, only AWD V50 was the T5 and that's rare enough as it is. I never found the AWD system too clever on my XC70 but those and the V70 are possible to come across with AWD if you really want it.
