2008 Volvo V70

2008 Volvo V70 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Volvo V70

If more Americans gave wagons a chance, we think they'd enjoy this wagon. The Volvo V70 wagon shares platforms and powertrains with the S80 sedan. A six-cylinder engine generates smooth and efficient acceleration; it comes mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability. It's roomy and comfortable, and is a worthy alternative to a sport utility vehicle, provided you can make do with front-wheel drive and only two rows of seats. As usual for Volvo, many safety features are on hand.
