Road Test

The XC70 "Cross Country" wagon has all-wheel drive, a raised ride height and rugged, SUV-like styling details. It also has a flexible interior and a roomy rear seat. The stiff ride is marginally improved over previous versions. Handling is very secure, but not particularly agile. The Cross Country is one of the last wagons to have a rear facing third-row seat, though it's suitable only for small children.

Model History

2008-2010

2008 Redesign Year

The 2008 redesign dropped the third row. Engine choices included two six-cylinder engines: a base 3.2-liter and a turbocharged 3.0. The V70 disappeared after 2010. Performance is adequate, but the XC70 averaged just 18 mpg. Still though, a quieter, better-finished interior, a ride that's less stiff, and more responsive handling than the previous model are welcome attributes. Still, performance, along with ride and handling don't inspire enthusiasm. The XC70 features Volvo's most current safety innovations of the time, including optional blind spot monitoring and family-friendly features like integrated child booster seats. Changes for 2016 included standard heated front seats and the six-cylinder turbo engine was dropped.

2001-2007

2001 Redesign Year

The V70 wagon was available with front or AWD, in addition to a sporty R model and an SUV-like raised wagon, the XC70 Cross Country. The standard five-cylinder engine was available with a turbocharger, which improved acceleration dramatically. In our tests of the XC70 Cross Country, the ride was stiff and unsettled, and handling was disappointing. The front seats provided excellent comfort. The large interior offered an optional third-row seat.
