There is, however, some body roll when turning, but that’s to be expected with a car this heavy.įull Screen is not supported on this browser version. And, while it’s longer than most crossovers at 4,839 mm bumper to bumper, it doesn’t feel overly unwieldy on the road. The car also benefits from a very sturdy and well-planted comportment it’s a lot more car-like in this respect and not so top-heavy like a traditional SUV. This, combined with the quiet engine, means it’s deceptively easy to sneak above the speed limit, so keep an eye on that (digital) speedometer.
Indeed, gear changes were largely imperceptible. It’s a rather smooth affair as well thanks to the car’s quick-shifting eight-speed Geartronic automatic transmission (the T6 trim comes with a six-speed auto). Still, getting up to highway speeds is surprisingly quick, with zero to 100 km/h times of 7.4 seconds in the 2.0L version and 6.1 seconds in the T6 trim. At 1,720 kilograms for the base car, the XC70 is not what you’d call lithe by any means. On the road, the four-banger is a fairly quiet and capable mill, but it needs a firm prod of the pedal to get going and feels a tad underpowered for such a heavy car. Most impressive is the the sharp, sculpted lights mounted to the liftgate. But this third-generation benefits from a nice makeover that includes a refreshed grille, handsome daytime running LEDs, sleeker lines, and an overall muscular appearance that fits with the car’s multi-usage appeal.
On the styling front, the XC70 does retain some of the boxy look of Volvo wagons of old. As it stands, AWD is only available in the T6 version (starting at $47,900), which comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.0L, six-cylinder plant that makes a very robust 300 hp and 325 lb.-ft. Right off the bat, I’d say shelling out more than $50,000 for a front-wheel-drive crossover is far too much, even with the bevy of options that come in this higher trim (more on that below). Volvo really should make AWD available for the XC70 at all levels to truly back up the car’s rugged styling and justify the premium pricing. it's the best of both worlds and a fantastic package for people who live in areas with tough terrain or urbanites who want to escape to the country at weekends.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
