 Practicality 4.5/5
Volvo V70
Volvo V70
Prices are reasonable for Volvo V70 especially considering the space and versatility that’s provided. The 2.0-litre T engine isn’t the most exciting to drive, but the car should get reasonable insurance rates. The car gets decent fuel economy, and enjoys high resale values.

The Volvo V70 offers good space and practicality. The rear seats fold to add extra storage space when needed. There is plenty of room for the legs and heads of front seat passengers, but taller passengers in the rear will not have good legroom.

The Volvo V70 displays are clear and easy to read. The car’s main controls and dials are functional and well thought out. The car’s switch gear isn’t the most stylish, but it all works well and has a quality feel. Everything is located where you would expect it to be.

The Volvo V70 cabin successfully suppresses most road and engine noise. The car’s seats are comfortable, and the car itself provides a smooth and enjoyable ride. The car performs especially well on the motorways.

The Volvo V70 provides wide door apertures, and allows for easy access to the car’s cabin. The driver’s seat adjusts to every position imaginable and should accommodate most drivers. Access to the cabin’s rear seats will be a little more difficult, but all but the tallest person will find plenty of room once inside the cabin.

The V70 is an easy car to park, thanks to the high driving position, good visibility and light steering. The bonnet is difficult to judge, but parking sensors are available on the options list.

Volvo V70
Volvo V70
The Volvo V70 wasn’t designed for speed. All V70 models reach 60mph in under 12 seconds and top speeds range between 124mph and 155mph. The Four-C (Continually Controlled Chassis Concept) chassis with its Sport or Comfort switch is designed to give buyers a choice between a sporty ride, or a more comfort oriented ride.

The V70 would make an excellent family car. With its van-like stowage capacity and reliability it has a lot to offer a family. The car is likely to attract younger buyers as well as more mature buyers. The car’s style and price will appeal to a younger crowd than previous models have. The V70 also offers loads of safety features that is sure to be appealing to families.

The V70 is not a likely family car. The purchase price will run too high for most first time car buyers. Insurance rates are likely to be too high for younger drivers, and the car will not be the easiest to maneuver and park, especially for novice drivers.

Volvo is known for its exceptional build quality and impeccable safety credentials. The V70 embodies both principles, and the car’s interior boasts a quality that is associated with more luxurious cars, such as the BMW 5 Series Touring or the Mercedes E-Class Estate. The car’s exterior looks durable and sturdy
