2009 Volvo XC70
Sneak Peek
The 2009 Volvo XC70 gets a new addition to its model lineup--the T6. This SUV-flavored wagon is essentially a raised-suspension version of Volvo's V70 wagon, and like the V70, it shares its basic design with Volvo's S80 sedan. The base XC70 has a 235-hp 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine, while T6 has a turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder. The sole transmission is a 6-speed automatic. All XC70s have all-wheel drive. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Volvo's Blind Spot Information System is available on the XC70, as is a hill-descent control system. The rear bench has optional integrated child booster seats that are also height adjustable. Also available are adaptive cruise control, a heartbeat sensor that warns if an intruder is hiding in the car, an uplevel audio system, satellite radio, dual-screen DVD entertainment, and a navigation system. We have not yet tested the 2009 Volvo XC70.

Please check back for more information and Consumer Guide's full review.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
