Possibly our finest estate ever - and one which still shows no sign of slowing down
Premium Quality Driving Pleasure
At lower or higher speeds, the Volvo V70 is well equipped to give any ordinary journey a total make over. The New six-cylinder turbocharged engine allows you to get the best out of the advanced chassis. And if the road tries to get the best of you, the standard DSTC traction control system can make all the difference.
The Volvo V70 experience now features six-cylinder power. The T6 twin-scroll turbo engine with six cylinders offers an entirely new driving experience - swift and sporty All-Wheel Drive with 210kW and 400 Nm.
Now offering three alternative chassis settings - Comfort, Sport and Advanced - the Volvo V70's Active Four-C Chassis (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) not only helps to control your car at high speeds, it also lets you change its 'personality' to suit your mood.
Safety, for the joy of driving
Enhanced vision on curvy roads, brake support, integrated two-stage child booster cushions and laminated glass against break-ins. The Volvo V70 offers more of what we're known for and proudest of - safety and security. What's more, our dedication to safety is what promotes a joy of driving found in no other car.
All children grow, so the new 2-stage integrated booster cushion is designed to seat children of different sizes. Using the cushion, children will also enjoy the extra protection of the new extended inflatable curtain - IC - and safety belts with specially adjusted force limiters, protecting the child by using just the right amount of tensioning force in an impact.
The Volvo V70 is equipped with SIPS - the Side Impact Protection System that absorbs and distributes the forces throughout the body in an effective manner. The SIPS-bag works in tandem with two separate chambers, one for the hip area, the other for the chest, for better ergonomic protection.
The Volvo V70 comes with private locking preferences - to keep unwanted visitors from entering your storage areas and tailgate. The roomy load compartments also have new features, such as aluminium cargo rails and sliding hooks. Everything to keep the cargo in its place.
Estate of the art
In the Volvo V70, ergonomics, form and function go hand in hand with smart solutions. The result is a car with refined versatility, but without compromise.
With a choice of three audio levels - Performance, High Performance, and the outstanding Premium Sound with Dynaudio - the V70 has a sound system that makes the most of your music. All your music, that is, since you can connect your portable music devices and USB memory to the car system.
Did you remember to lock the car when you left it? Is the alarm activated? With the PCC, you will always know the answer. PCC applies the latest in two-way radio technology, to make your car key a smart connection with your Volvo V70. When in range and if the alarm is activated, a heartbeat sensor will tell you if there's anyone still inside your car. The PCC even unlocks the door as you grab the handle.
This advanced Volvo safety system, the Blind-Spot Information System or BLIS, uses digital cameras and sophisticated software to continuously check your blind spot. Which means you can concentrate more on the driving.
A haven from pollution, pollen and allergens
Whether you're stuck in rush hour traffic or following a hay-laden tractor, you will breathe much easier in a Volvo V70's.
The V70's cabin filter prevents dust, exhaust particles and pollen from entering the car through its ventilation system. Add the optional Interior Air Quality System, and it will also check for certain unhealthy gases as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Making life more comfortable for people with allergies or asthma, upholsteries and interior textiles comply with a Oeko-Tex Standard 100 - an international benchmark ensuring that textiles and leathers are tested for certain allergy inducing or harmful substances.
Approved by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association, the Volvo V70's CZIP builds on the Interior Air Quality System to offer asthma or hay fever sufferers a real breath of fresh air. When the car is unlocked via remote control, the passenger compartment is automatically ventilated for about a minute (should the temperature be above 10 degrees Celsius) to 'flush' impurities from the cabin.
"Typical of Volvo, safety comes first. It has the capacity to fly like a rocket, but its six-cylinder engine also knows how to behave in city traffic."
Robyn Riley | Sunday Herald Sun
"Volvo's V70 wagon has all the safety features you'd expect and more, plus oodles of grunt."
Brendan Quirk | Courier Mail
"Interior room is the best I've seen in a family hauler... The Volvo V70 T6 was so much fun to drive that I didn't want to hand the keys back."
