About the Volvo XC70
The third-generation XC70, based on the P3 platform, refined Volvo's formula for the go-anywhere luxury wagon. The 2010 model year introduced the updated D5 engine, which utilised sequential twin-turbocharging to improve responsiveness and power over the previous single-turbo unit. Known for its exceptional seat comfort and class-leading safety features, it remains a favourite for those needing a durable long-distance cruiser. While not a true off-roader, its increased ground clearance and Haldex all-wheel-drive system provide significant competence in snow and light trail conditions.
