The overview

The XC70 is a wagon version of the S80 with a raised ride height. It features many of Volvo's safety features, including collision-avoidance systems and a blind-spot warning system that works well. The powertrain is a pleasant 3.2-liter six-cylinder mated to a six-speed automatic, with available AWD, but it returns just 18 mpg overall. That engine is replaced by a new turbocharged four-cylinder in early 2014. A more powerful, turbocharged six comes with the T6 trim. The ride is fairly stiff but handling is secure. Inside, the cabin is quiet and nicely trimmed, and the seats are comfortable. It disappeared after 2016 model year.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
