At one time, the modification of the V70 station wagon, under the name V70XC (from the abbreviation Cross Country), was highly appreciated by consumers, trying to consolidate its success, Volvo renamed it, giving rise to a new model range of cars with the XC index. This is how the robust and dynamic Volvo XC70 appears in 2002.

This model differs from the all-wheel drive station wagon V70 by its frankly off-road essence. When turning the Volvo V70 station wagon into a Volvo XC70 all-terrain vehicle, the designers mainly worked on the appearance: they changed the bumpers, side linings andwheel arch brows, leaving all those plastic parts black. Obviously, such a "body kit" is more practical than bumpers painted in body color. Unlike paintwork, it is not afraid of scratches from branches, gravel and pebbles flying from under the wheels, which are especially common on country roads.

The design of the car was also changed. So, in the XC70, instead of a viscous clutch, they began to use a Haldex multi-disc electronic-mechanical clutch, capable of connecting the rear axle almost without delay when the frontx wheels. The ground clearance has increased from 166 to 210 mm, respectively, and the Volvo engineers have strengthened the suspension.

The interior decoration deserves the highest praise. Laconic but original design of the branded front panel, light upholstery colors, soft plastics with an interesting texture, modesty wooden decor - everything is very stylish and high quality. The interior trim is a harmonious combination of leather and plastic. Leather chairs and door armrests stitched with large stitches look especially stylish.

In terms of ergonomics, the interior of the Volvo XC70 is excellent. The rear seat comfortably accommodates three adult passengers. The possibility of transforming the cabin allows you to fold any of the three sections of the rear seat, which makes it easier to transport long-sized cargo.

The luggage compartment can rightfully be called the main advantage of the XC70. It is not so much striking in size as in carefully thought out functionality. Under the raised floor you can find manythere are niches for various small things, including "spare wheels". The picture is complemented by nets for securing cargo and pockets in the sidewalls. Another plus is the grille that separates the passenger compartment from the trunk. If necessary, it can be installed both behind the front and rear seats, or, as unnecessary, it can be strapped to the ceiling. When the rear seat is folded down, the cargo area floor remains level, without a ledge at the border of the trunk and the passenger compartment.

In general, the Volvo XC70 is quite prepared for poor road conditions, but due to theny wheelbase and overhangs, its geometric cross-country ability is noticeably limited. At the heart of the all-wheel drive Volvo V70 XC is the Haldex multi-plate clutch, which automatically engages the rear wheel drive when the front wheels slip.

The exterior in many respects repeats the previously debuted Volvo V70 station wagon, from which the car traditionally differs in increased ground clearance and a plastic body kit designed to protect the paintwork when driving on light off-road.

Body shapes and body kit elements have successfully added sportiness to the updated XC70, without violatingthis is the feeling of his involvement in the premium segment. The front end, which includes a completely redesigned bumper with air intakes, headlights and a radiator grill, received a more expressive appearance, while the rear, including the tailgate with a practical solution of the increased glass surface, did not deprive the XC70 of the overall "swiftness" effect.
