2007 Volvo V70/XC70

The V70 wagon was available with front or AWD, in addition to a sporty R model and an SUV-like raised wagon, the XC70 Cross Country. The standard five-cylinder engine was available with a turbocharger, which improved acceleration dramatically. In our tests of the XC70 Cross Country, the ride was stiff and unsettled, and handling was disappointing. The front seats provided excellent comfort. The large interior offered an optional third-row seat.

Brand context

About Volvo

Other brands have caught up, but Volvo maintains its deserved reputation for safety innovation and quality fit and finish. Volvos also stand out for its attractive exterior styling and for having some of the nicest interiors in the industry, with especially comfortable seats. The brand’s XC line of SUVs range from compact and two-row to midsized and three-row. Volvo also sells sedans and station wagons, along with several EVs, ranging from small to large. Most of Volvo’s new cars scored average or below-average in our reliability rankings, and the infotainment systems on many models are less intuitive than what you’ll find in competitors’ cars. Our testers have also found that Volvos aren’t great at absorbing bumps, and have average fuel economy. Among used Volvos, some models have proven to be reliable enough to earn our recommendation.
