Vehicle Highlights
Cosmetic revisions and standard antiskid control highlights 2007 for this SUV-flavored wagon. XC70 is essentially a raised-suspension version of Volvo's V70 wagon, and both are based on the company's S60 sedan. XC gets a subtle front-end restyle and revised interior trim for '07. It has all-wheel drive, a 208-hp turbocharged 5-cyl engine, and 5-speed automatic transmission. Optional is Volvo's Four-C suspension that's driver-adjustable for ride and handling. An antiskid system is now standard. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are also standard. Dual-screen DVD entertainment is a new option. Other available features include dual integrated rear child seats, navigation system, and rear obstacle detection. A rear-facing 3rd-row seat for seven-passenger capacity is a dealer-installed option.
