Volvo XC70 - Life Style

The Volvo XC70 raised height and the weight of the car impairs its ability to be nimble but not as much as one might expect. Enhanced handling coupled with the automatic transmission provides an excellent and grounded driving experience, and adds a touch of practicality in the way of the car’s ‘winter setting’. Petrol-engine models are fast, hitting 60mph in around eight seconds.

This is an excellent family vehicle. The Volvo XC70 cabin is very spacious providing more than enough room for a family and all their gear. The trunk is spacious and the car is well-built and durable. Throw in Volvo’s excellent reputation for safety and you have the makings for an awesome family car.

This is not likely to be a good first car. It offers very little to appeal to new drivers, and the car’s premium price tag is likely to make it even more of a remote choice for first time buyers. The car’s fuel economy is not great either. There are far better choices available for a first car.

The XC70 will do much to help Volvo in reaching its goal in becoming a more premium manufacturer. The car’s underpinnings hold it back somewhat from seeming totally modern and competitive with other premium brands despite the car’s premium feel.
