Model Overview: 2008 Volvo V70Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
V70 3.2: $32,465
Destination: $745
Volvo embarks on a bold new road for 2008 with the introduction of the third generation V70. Building upon 54 years of continuous wagon refinement and improvement the all-new V70 raises the bar in Volvo's global leadership of the premium wagon sector. The debut marks world breakthroughs in safety, an advanced new 6-cylinder engine, more dynamic style and luxury, improved driving dynamics and increased utility and versatility.
'In developing the all-new V70 we aimed to produce the safest car in its segment,' says Ingrid Skogsmo, Director of Volvo Cars Safety Center.' The V70 is comprised of a sophisticated network of interacting safety systems, highly efficient energy absorption and the latest generation of side airbags and whiplash protection.'
To improve safety for children in the rear seat, Volvo combines a new standard height-adjustable integrated booster cushion - a world first - with an extended inflatable curtain and power child locks. This combination provides the industry's best passenger safety system for children of different sizes. The V70's new, stronger side structure uses high-tensile steel of different grades to optimize side-impact protection.
Among the list of standard safety features is the next generation Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and enhanced impact protection for pedestrians and cyclists. New options available for the first time on the V70 include adaptive cruise control with collision warning and with Auto Brake, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), and Personal Car Communicator (PCC) with Keyless Drive, two-way car communication and heartbeat sensor.
Employing completely new vehicle architecture the V70 shares major components and systems with the flagship S80 and equally new XC70. This represents a significant change from the previous V70, which was related to the Volvo S60. The platform change has enabled Volvo's engineers to instill new levels of power and refinement for a rewarding driving experience.
A remarkably refined and responsive 6-cylinder engine powers the V70 for the first time. This 3.2-liter normally aspirated transversely mounted powerplant develops 235 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. Its advanced valve mechanism CPS (Cam Profile Switching) plus VIS (Variable Intake System) enable it to deliver the best of all worlds - performance, driving comfort and fuel economy. A new six-speed 'Geartronic' automatic transmission enables the driver to shift manually when desired.
While the new V70 is instantly recognizable as a Volvo, designers take it to the next level with a more athletic stance and sporty attitude. The front fascia wears a wide egg-crate grille emblazoned with Volvo's signature Ironmark. A climbing waistline contributes to the dynamic posture. Viewed from the rear, the new tailgate makes a strong visual link with the new C30. All the lights above the waistline are LED. Another smart detail is rear glass that extends further down the tailgate for increased visibility.
Scandinavian style throughout the cabin combines clean design, intelligent functionality and exceptional comfort and luxury. The driver and front passenger are treated to 'ortho-posture' supportive bucket seats. Instruments are ergonomically designed including an elegant, super-slim center stack. Rear seats split 40/20/40 offering the flexibility of seating for three or two outboard passengers separated by a wide armrest.
The cargo floor is fitted with aluminum rails and movable anchorage points which fold away when not in use. Side panels also have built-in load anchorage eyelets to keep luggage securely in place. A lockable storage area under the floor is standard for increased security of smaller items. For added convenience in loading and unloading cargo, the V70 offers a new power tailgate.
While the V70 comes well equipped with an extensive repertoire of luxury and comfort features, customers can further tailor the newest Volvo to meet their needs with a variety of options and packages. The list includes the Volvo Navigation System with HDD, DVD map data and remote control, a dual screen rear seat entertainment system, 17-inch 'Spartes' alloy wheels, a high performance sound system, rear seat headphone jacks and Sirius Satellite Radio.Source - Volvo

Volvo Announces Pricing for All-New Volvo V70...taking the segment to new heights, without breaking the bank
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC will roll out its all-new V70 with a new look, greater versatility, more power, enhanced safety and a $32,465 MSRP. The all-new V70 combines a spacious interior with exclusive comfort and dynamic driving properties in the same class as large luxury sedans - with a twist of course: the versatility of 37 cubic feet of cargo space.
'The attitude towards the modern wagon has undergone a significant change,' said Anne Bélec, president & CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. With greater focus on design and comfort, the all-new V70 is both luxurious and practical. It's not just for families with growing children but also for active people that demand everything of their cars.'
With a mere six percent price differential from its predecessor, Volvo Cars designers and engineers have made significant refinements in the all-new V70:
Families with young children will be drawn to the world's first dual-stage built-in booster cushions. In addition, this standard feature provides further protection with new inflatable curtains that have been extended by 2.3 inches. Combined with the new booster cushions and the strong body side structure, the all-new V70 provides children of varying sizes with effective protection in a side impact.
In addition to more room in the rear seats driving comfort has been considerably enhanced, with superb seats and ergonomically designed instruments. This naturally also includes the elegant, super-slim center console and, in typical Volvo fashion, a world-class audio system.
Volvo Cars also introduces the new Collision Avoidance Package systems on its all-new V70: Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning, now with Auto Brake; Driver Alert Control; and, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) for only $1,695.
And, for the first time a six-cylinder engine will be offered beneath the sculpted hood of the Volvo V70 - an efficient 3.2-liter inline-6 generating 235 horsepower.
Inside and out, the all-new V70 is a premier example of Scandinavian design. Every detail has been designed to focus on clean form and intelligent functionality.

As a result of Volvo's dynamic product strategy, a variety of new and exciting models were released in 1996. These included the S70 sedan, the station wagon V70 and the Volvo 850 Bi-Fuel. The 850 Bi-Fuel was fitted with twin fuel systems that made it capable of being driven with either methane gas or petrol. The V70 station wagon and the S70 sedan were advanced in Volvo technology and included a new 4-wheel drive on the list of options. To compete in the growing sport-utility market, the V70XC, a variant of the wagon was created. With additional plastic on the car body to make it look intimidating, the suspension of the V70ZC was higher than the V70's.
A mid-size / executive vehicle, the Volvo V70 was released in 1997 and was a four-door station wagon that was very closely related to the S70, S60 and S80, which were all sedans. The best selling vehicle in Sweden for numerous years, over 80% of V70's were sold in Europe, and one third in Sweden. Volvo had a new strategy of naming vehicles depending on size and body style, the V was appended for Versatility, S for saloon, and C for the new Coupe. These were basically the same car as the 850, with 1,800 improved and new parts in the design, along with upgraded safety, new engine, and better handling.
Produced in 1997 by Swedish car manufacturer Volvo, which is Latin for 'I roll', the Volvo V70 is a mid-size vehicle that was originally a development of the 850 station wagon and sedan series. Closely related to the S70, S60 and S80, which are all sedans, the V70 four-door station wagon has been the best selling vehicle in Sweden for numerous years.
The XC70, the off-road version of the V70 lineup, came with a slight lift in ground clearance, and sturdy plastic body cladding in the sides, front and back of the vehicle. The V70R was the highest performance variation in the V70 lineup, and had a rear spoiler and a turbocharged 300 hp engine.
An all new V70 was released in 2000 that was based on the P2 platform, which had been first utilized for the entire Swedish-designed Volvo S80 sedan in ‘98. Sharing the same sheet metal ahead of the B-pillar with the Volvo S60, the V70 had different grilles and front bumpers, (though the interior and the dashboard remained basically identical.)
For the 2005 model year, only minor updates were made of the V70, which included small styling changes to the tail lamps, and the front fascia.
On February 2nd, 2007 the third generation of V70's was introduced. This was a more up-market car than the previous generations, though it remained the same size. The rear-seat legroom was increased two centimeters, and the load area volume in the revised tailgate design was increase by 55 liters. Sharing little with the other Volvo models externally, the new V70 had a 3.21 straight-six, a 3.01 turbo straight-six, a light-pressure turbo 2.51 straight-five and two 2.41 straight-five diesel engines.Jessica Vaughan
