"The Volvo XC70 is a practical, luxurious and robust combi. It is expensive, however, and will soon be replaced soon."

the Volvo XC70 is a toughened-up version of the V70 Wagon Volvo with a raised ride height, chunky bumpers and optional four-wheel drive. If you have to deal with quite rough terrain from time to time, it is quite competent in this area - like the Audi A6 Allroad and Volkswagen Passat Alltrack. Note, however, that the V70 on the now the XC70 is based on the Volvo V0 and a similarly harsh version of this car has been replaced - likely to be called the V0 Cross Country - is thought to be in the pipeline. While XC70 production has now ceased, nearly new examples should be priced to reflect their initial state
If you want XC70 a new (ish), you will be happy with a diesel engine -. The 300bhp T6 petrol was set halfway through the life of the model, in part because they fought over 25mpg return. Fortunately, the diesels strong performers. The entry-level engine is the D4 and produces 179bhp called. Depending on whether you enter the front or all-wheel drive, this engine is either 2.0 or 2.4 liters respectively - although its power is equal, regardless of its size remains. The top-spec 2.4-liter D5 engine produces 212bhp and is only with all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission available. Performance across the range is broadly similar to last with 0-62mph 8.2 to 9.5 seconds.

Given the size of the XC70 and the performance that it offers, the running costs are reasonable. The efficient combination is the front-wheel drive D4 version with manual transmission; in this configuration, there is 64.2mpg and costs just £ 30 per year in road tax. Opting for all-wheel drive, the more powerful D5 engine or an automatic transmission is to see the road tax increase to a minimum of £ 110 and a maximum of £ 180 per year. Economy for the rest of the XC70 range is between 48.7 and 58.9mpg.
On the road, increased suspension height means a fair bit of body lean in corners there, but the XC70 glides impressively over bumps and is a very competent highway cruiser. In terms of off-road ability, it sits somewhere between a normal car and a full-on SUV: they are to take it unlikely that a mountain, but its elevated ride height means it acquits itself well on most rough surfaces, especially if you choose the all-wheel drive option
step inside the XC70, and you are in for a treat -. if a little dated one. There is a comfortable air and solidity, while the instrument panel to the new V0 is a little outdated compared feels, there is no feeling of luxury to deny and to build quality on the display. Front and rear passengers get excellent head and legroom, while the XC70 575-liter boot is a flat bottom and is actually slightly larger than the new V0.
Towards the end of his life the XC70 offered in only two trims, SE Nav and SE Lux. Equipment highlights in SE Nav was cars include leather seats, navigation system, cruise control, 17-inch alloy wheels, a DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity. SE Lux trim adds (1,0 £) xenon headlamps, a power-adjustable driver's seat, 18-inch alloy wheels and a digital display that replaces the traditional tachometer and other dashboard dials.
Security is excellent to obtain thanks to the V70 sister car the full five stars in Euro NCAP's assessment of the XC70. Reliability is likely to be more average: Volvo came 13th out of 32 manufacturers in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction study - with a 22nd place finish for reliability.
