Product Overview

Volvo XC70 II is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2000 to 2004, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-5 engines that displaced 2.4 to 2.5 liters.
Based on the Gen2 V70, this generation of XC70 is essentially an "uglified" version with a higher ride height and lots of black plastic thrown on. Unfortunately, this made the already questionable design of the pre-facelift Gen2 V70 very difficult to swallow.
The interesting I5 engine lineup from the V70 can also be found here, though AWD comes as standard.
