Product Overview

Volvo XC70 II facelift is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2004 to 2007. It was available with a range of inline-5 engines that displaced 2.4 to 2.5 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelifted Gen2 XC70 received, unfortunately, more black plastic. The lights and grille were also updated a la the standard V70; however, these changes fail to make the "uglified" model any more appealing.
As before, only the more powerful engines were offered, and AWD came as standard.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Volvo XC70 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
