The car is designed and built to be driven on all types of roads, good and bad alike. Its roadholding is consistent, regardless of the road conditions. Its basic design is solid and robust, enabling it to withstand the severe collision forces that can be generated in accidents of different types. The Volvo XC70 offers the kind of comfort and performance that make it a superb long-distance vehicle. However, it also offers AWD, which means that it gets through, regardless of the road conditions.
Even those that are really, really bad. However, the word "versatility" does not simply comprise the ability to get through.
It also includes a flexible interior with a number of practical features. The Volvo XC70 is higher than a standard car. The extra height results in addi-tional ground clearance in difficult road conditions. The certified ground clearance is mm. As the car is no higher than it needs to be, it still has a relatively low centre of gravity, one of the prerequisites for really good driving characteristics and road performance.
It has an excellent performance on normal asphalt as well as on snow and gravel. Its relatively low weight is one of the reasons why the Volvo XC70 offers competitive fuel consumption. In mixed driving conditions, it consumes, depending on specification, Each passenger seat features a fold-flat backrest. The rear seat in the Volvo XC70 features a three-way split for maximum flexibility.
With the seats folded down, the load compartment floor is entirely flat. Safety Volvo Cars adopts a holistic view of safety that encompasses both Preventive and Protective safety. The body of the Volvo XC70 features immense torsional rigidity and the car has a sturdy chassis, a combination that results in consistent, predictable behaviour on the road see also under "Powertrain and Chassis".
Volvo Cars has developed various information systems designed to help the driver while on the move. Protective safety in the Volvo XC70 is structured around a network consisting of exterior and interior safety systems that interact with one another to reduce the risk of occupant injury in a collision.
The exterior systems have the task of distributing and absorbing incoming collision forces so that the passenger compartment remains as intact and undamaged as possible. The body is therefore built in the form of a metal cage where all the components interact with one another to ensure controlled deformation.
The interior safety systems aim to keep the passengers securely in place and also to reduce the risk of serious injury. All are fitted as standard in the Volvo XC What is more, all five seats are equipped with three-point inertia-reel seat belts, belt pre-tensioners and head restraints.
Powertrain and chassis The engines in the Volvo XC70 are five-cylinder, transversely installed in-line units. A five-cylinder engine gives low vibration and smooth operation. One was the Proximity package which added a power tailgate, proximity keyless entry, and a rearview camera.
The other was the Technology package which offered a suite of additional active safety features. While the Volvo XC70 was attractive, spacious, and refined, the price, awkward handling, poor reliability rating, and not-so-great fuel economy did it in.
With Volvo discontinuing the XC70 wagon, there was a gap left to fill according to the folks at Motor Trend. The model was stylish and kicked off a revival for Volvo design. The inside is the same and is a study in luxurious Scandinavian design. High-quality materials like nappa leather and genuine wood trim are used along with subtle chrome accents.
The SUV also offers an impressive list of safety and driver-assist features standard across all models. Even today, Volvo is very much focused on safety. It was built on the P3 platform, which other brands from th Aware of the European emission standards, Volvo found itself in the position to update their engines for lower emissions.
As such, the old 2.
