  Volvo V70 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2000 (2001 for North America), Volvo released the all new V70 (together with S60 sedan variant) based on the new P2 platform that had already been employed as the Volvo S80 sedan in 1998.
Volvos of old were renowned for their durability, vehicles like the 240 series are still to be seen on the roads with 300,000 miles and more on the clock.
Many journalists and Volvo fans have also expressed disappointment that the interior space is not as large as it could be, although it is comparable to other luxury marques in the same class.

Volvo's line for year 2004 consists of models in five alphanumeric orders with new gear accumulating in all classes.
In Volvo nomenclature, S represents a sedan, C stands for the convertible, V signifies a five-door wagon and XC means outdoor versatility vehicle.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2003 Volvo XC70
Volvo, like most other automakers, is taking advantage of the current SUV craze with its rugged-looking XC70 and the new XC90 - and is doing very well, thank you.
The XC70 wagon has a wide, roomy cabin with sturdy leather seating for five adult passengers, and a roomy cargo area that can be expanded by folding down the unique split 40/20/40 rear seatbacks.
Like other Volvos, the XC70 has a clean simple dash layout with two large gauges for the speedo and tachometer, and a centre instrument panel with large buttons and knobs with white lettering on a predominately grey background.

 Volvo XC70 Road Test
The XC70 does not have the low-ratio gears that it would need to follow a full-blooded 4x4 off the beaten track, and it is not as versatile as the more expensive XC90, but it is a good compromise.
Volvos are well-known for their longevity, but they aren't quite as carefully crafted as the best German cars, and so fall prey to the odd niggling fault.
When the XC70 was launched it was thousands less than the Allroad, compensating for its omission of height adjustable suspension and low range gears, items that the manual transmission version of the Audi comes with as standard.

 2005 Volvo XC70 Reviews - ForbesAutos.com
Previously badged as the Cross Country, the $34,810 XC70 is one of a recent breed of luxury wagons -- like the Audi S4 Avant and BMW 5-Series Sport wagon -- that offer the handling and speed of a sedan with greater cargo volume.
Volvo was far and away the most popular in the category, although it costs on average $10,000 less, selling 17,185 units in 2003.
Sure, the XC70 is great at tackling the tundra but you can't hang a snowplow on it.

The XC70 AWD all-wheel-drive wagon formerly was called the Cross Country to help give it a rugged image, but it has been renamed to make its badging consistent with Volvo's popular new XC90 sport-utility vehicle.
Volvo says in a press release for the 2004 XC70 AWD: "Previously known as the Cross Country, the XC70 was perhaps the first true luxury crossover vehicle.
As with the rest of the Volvo line, the $34,460 XC70 was flipped to a 2004 model last spring.

Volvo and U.S.-based aftermarket tuner, IPD, have teamed up to create Volvo's version of a desert-storming racer, that is, without sacrificing the safety, practicality and drivability of a regular passenger car.
The XC70 AT is sensible Volvo styling taken to an entirely new level, with functionality as the highest priority.
While there's zero chance of Volvo producing the XC70 All-Terrain Concept, the fact that an aftermarket producer took a leading role in its creation means that a good deal of the unique components seen on the concept could actually be available in the near future.

 Driven: 2005 Volvo XC70 D5
Taking Volvo’s already successful V70 station wagon and adding a taller suspension, rugged side cladding and some additional trim bestows the car with much of the functionality and sexiness of an SUV, but keeping it car-based allows it to retain important qualities such as superior fuel mileage and more nimble handling characteristics.
Volvo’s D5 engine happens to be one of the most refined diesel engines in the Ford portfolio, and if the diesel market opens up in the USA, Volvo is in a position where it could be integral to the blue oval’s supply of diesel automobiles.
We found though that despite a few tweaks which Volvo says it will do by the time the cars make it to market, the system is a welcome addition to the car… even if the cameras mounted on the mirror arms are a bit odd looking.

Volvo revises three of its most popular models for the 2005 model year.
"From a historical perspective, Volvo Cars is often linked with the image of spacious sport wagons for families with young children." Taken from the first line in Volvo's latest press kit, this statement at once sums up all that has traditionally defined Volvo--safe and solid, practical as hell, but, well, not necessarily all that exciting.
The new V70, S60 and XC70 are scheduled to arrive in Volvo dealerships across North America by September 2004.

 1998 Volvo XC70 comments
Things like brakes, rotors and oil changes are all part of maintaining a car, Volvo's drive as comfortably as they do because of their engineering, and only good maintenance can keep them in that condition.
Volvo is now (and was on the verge of in the 90's) considered a luxury car.
We truly love our Volvos and with thanks to all who have written in to this forum, we are now determined to keep both of them – hopefully, long after they reach the car age of antiquity.

 Spy Photos: 2008 Volvo XC70 - Jalopnik
Merry mule hunter Chris Doane, employee of chief mule huntress Brenda Priddy, snagged some pics of Volvo's newest pack-carrying wagon and shipped them over to the folks over at the road which is ever-winding.
Let's just say the pictures leave much to the imagination, as the Volvo folks have wrapped it in some of the thickest fascia obscura we've yet seen -- and look, it's even got a kinda Pontiac-like symbol -- which we think is simply adorable.
According to Priddy herself, the all-new Cross Country wagon is slated to arrive as a 2008 model, along with a new V70, and a sub XC90 crossover a wee bit bigger than Toyota's new RAV4.

Volvo's XC70 is essentially a repackaged V70 wagon, originally intended as a stopgap until the company launched its first true sport utility vehicle, the larger XC90.
Like its chief competitors — the Audi Allroad Quattro and Subaru Legacy Outback — Volvo's XC70 is essentially an all-wheel-drive wagon with a raised suspension and beefy body cladding to mimic the look of an SUV.
As is Volvo's tradition, standard safety features are plentiful, including antilock brakes and front-side and side-curtain airbags.

 Volvo XC70 Baja Enduro - Features - European Car Magazine
This was typical of my journey through the searing heat of the Mexican desert: Each time I expected the XC70 to come to grief, it simply ate up whatever nature threw at it and continued on its merry way.
Yet Volvo is so confident in the XC70's all-terrain capability, there's even talk of it entering two vehicles in next year's event.
Similarly constant was the reek of hot rubber as the XC70 was made to sweat, coupled with the smell of baking hot earth that wafted in through the open windows like the scent of hot parsnips.

The Volvos are the first of a new range of frontline police patrol cars for use by the Isle of Wight Basic Command Unit (BCU).

 AutoWeb - Volvo XC70 SE Test
The XC70 engine is everything a modern turbo engine should be – the only criticism is a slightly growly note and so-so fuel consumption.
The XC70 doesn’t pretend to be a serious bush-bashing machine but it can certainly cope off the bitumen thanks to its impressive suspension travel, front and rear bumper skid plates, and considerable 209mm ground clearance (which is more than a Holden Adventra).
It doesn’t matter which end of the AWD segment you’re looking at – take a Volvo XC70 SE for a drive and you’ll be impressed.
