The Volvo XC70 is a four-wheel drive estate car whose origins lie in Volvo's V70 model that was conceived in 1999. The Volvo XC70 is a toughened up and improved version, and one of the first ever lifestyle estate cars, with the X and the C in its name standing for the words 'Cross Country'. This successful 4x4 boasts a wealth of features such as raised ride height, protective side cladding, and powerful fog lights. The Volvo XC70 is considered one of the most efficient and safest family four-wheel drives on the market today.
Volvo XC70 cars first arrived on the UK's shores in 2002 and benefitted from an extensive facelift in 2004. A spruced up interior as well as larger safety grill combined with a more powerful engine raised the bar for Volvo XC70s, and by 2006, all models of the Volvo XC70 had integrated indicators within their door mirrors. The market for nearly new Volvo XC90 cars is high, and a second hand Volvo XC70 will hold much of its value, particularly the D5 diesel models that have proved a popular choice.
Volvo XC70s score highly in on and off road driving tests and have numerous safety features such as electronic traction and stability control that protect the car even in bad weather conditions, as you would expect from a prestigious manufacturer like Volvo. The stunning and superbly designed interior combined with excellent drivability and the aforementioned safety features mean most Volvo XC70 sales are made to environmentally conscious families. The Volvo XC70 SE Lux version is the most polished model to date, and should appeal to drivers of Audi Allroad, BMW X5, or Mercedes M-Class drivers.
