The Volvo V70 XC crossover was a full-size crossover choice that didn't require an extension to be put onto the driveway, and it navigated both low-ceiling parking garages and narrow city streets with ease.

Loyal Volvo fans flocked to this newest all-wheel drive wonder, and they were greatly appreciative of the opportunity to purchase a car that was not only chock full of the standard safety and comfort gear that Volvo typically provided, but one that also avoided the rough and tumble driving experience usually associated with an SUV. Their home country of Sweden offered up some genuinely inhospitable conditions in colder weather, and as such the very first Volvo crossover, dubbed the 'Cross Country' (later shortened to XC) was tuned to attack even the toughest snow drifts and iciest roads.

In this respect, Volvo had a definite edge. In combination with better than average ground clearance, these vehicles were intended to appeal to those who lived in snowy regions of the country where traction was prized above all else during the winter months. Brought forth by Subaru and Volvo, these new wagons traded in their suburban duds for aggressive body cladding and rugged all-wheel drive systems. The very first crossovers were in fact variations on the long-suffering station wagon.

These vehicles have become such a standard part of every day living in North America that most people would have trouble thinking back to a time when the term 'crossover' was new and the designs which would popularize it amongst the car-buying public were about as far away from a truck or a van as drivers could get. Adaptive cruise control is also now standard, which automatically slows the vehicle to maintain a safe distance in traffic on the highway.Crossovers today have largely become synonymous with many of the same traits that used to be the exclusive realm of minivans and SUVs: large, upright passenger compartments, tall ground clearance and an imposing physical presence that is usually bigger and heavier than the typical automobile.

If the driver fails to respond, the system will use the brakes to stop the vehicle.In addition, Volvo's City Safety feature has been added, which uses a laser to sense other cars, and will stop the vehicle automatically if the driver fails to notice stopped traffic ahead. Using a camera and radar system mounted in the nose of the car, it scans for pedestrians in front of the vehicle, and if it finds someone stepping out in front of the car, it sounds an alarm inside the vehicle to alert the driver. Volvo's Pedestrian Safety system comes with full auto braking, a system brought over from the S60 and XC60. Standard safety items on all XC70s include traction control and anti-skid, a tire pressure monitor, electronic stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, a cabin full of airbags and a whiplash protection system. Many of these are bundled into popular packages such as the Convenience Package, which also includes a cargo cover and power folding rear head restraints and the Multimedia Package, which features the rear park assist camera. The T6 AWD adds a power moonroof, leather seating and woodgrain interior trim.Optional on the XC70 are a rear parking aid with back-up camera, HID headlights, rain-sensing wipers, power lift gate, heated seats and navigation. An upgraded 7-inch screen is available, which can display navigation, DVD compatibility and a back-up camera.Other standard features include dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, SIRIUS satellite radio, auxiliary audio jack and a USB/iPod audio interface. Volvo's Sensus infotainment system allows driver and passenger to control the car's climate control and stereo system through a 5-inch touchscreen monitor. Standard features on all XC70s include a 40/20/40 split folding rear seat, power windows, locks and mirrors, adjustable steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise control and heated mirrors.

A 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with manual mode is standard in both models. Two distinct XC70 models are offered: The 3.2 comes powered by a 3.2L inline-6, which produces 240 hp, while the top-of-the-line T6 utilizes a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 that delivers 300 hp and 325 ft-lb of torque. XC70 wagons come in both all-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive. Volvo discontinued the V70 wagon in 2011, leaving the XC70 as the remaining full-size wagon from the automaker.
