A more road-friendly version of the new series XC70 SUV, the third-generation V70 is a big, well-designed station wagon in the Volvo tradition. It even has all-wheel drive, providing outstanding all-weather security. Naturally the interior is large, well designed and built – and safe. The single engine is a first-for-V70 turbo petrol six-cylinder developing 210kW and 400Nm and driving through a six-speed auto. The V70 comes with stability control, six airbags, rear collision warning, active bi-Xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, adjustable suspension, power tailgate, automatic climate-control, parking sensors, leather trim with heated and powered front seats, and six-CD audio.
