Product Overview

Volvo XC70 III facelift is an executive station wagon in production from 2013 to 2016. It was available with a range of inline-4, inline-5, and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, Volvo tweaked the front silver plastic a bit by replacing it by black plastic. The grille and lights were also updated. None of these efforts made the XC70 III any less ugly.
Volvo up-rated the engines, much like they did with the Gen3 V70 on which this vehicle was based. Fortunately, the I5 and I6 engines lived on to die with the discontinuation of the XC70.
