Vehicle Summary: 2008 Volvo XC70
Volvo's XC70 is essentially the V70 station wagon with added ground clearance, standard "Instant Traction" all-wheel drive, and more aggressive SUV-like styling cues. Like the V70, it shares platforms and components with the S80 sedan. A six-cylinder engine generates smooth and efficient acceleration and comes mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that allows manual gear selection. A long list of safety features is standard. As befits the company's reputation for family friendliness, the Volvo XC70 offers a unique integrated child booster seat. The wagon comes well equipped, with several high-tech options offered.
