 The 2006 2007 Volvo XC70 is one of the models that have served to establish Volvo as the premier manufacturer of functional wagons. Like all Volvos, the XC70 is reliable, roomy and safe. But with the XC70, it goes far beyond that. To begin with, the XC70 sits higher up on a raised suspension setup and has the look and feel like that of a sport utility vehicle. Throw in all-wheel drive and you can see why Volvo says that when the XC70 was introduced, it was perhaps the first true luxury crossover vehicle. Nothing can stay unchanged forever, so 2006 2007 XC70 get a few upgrades. New models now have optional Bi-Xenon gas-discharge headlamps, a flip-and-fold keyless entry remote and ZF rack-and-pinion steering. There are also two new colors: Crystal Green pearl and Ice White.
The XC70 has virtually the same dimensions as the V70 wagon. Both have four-doors and two rows of seating that accommodate up to five passengers. In addition, both have a very useful 71.4 cubic feet of cargo volume. There is only one 2006 2007 Volvo XC70 trim offered, and it is very well equipped. Standard features include a tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls, heated front bucket seats, a memory system (driver seat, mirrors), an AM/FM/cassette/CD player, and outside-temperature indicator and rain-sensing wipers. Like all the Volvos in this new generation, the lines of the XC70 are more curvaceous, their proportions more pleasing than those of the boxy Volvos of the not-so-distant past. The exterior design features a sporty, low hood that sweeps back in a wedge profile to a relatively high trunk. The side windows are fairly large, making the XC70 appear bigger than it actually is. Volvo designers refined the basic look last year with better-integrated bumpers, dual headlights, clear-lens taillights, and re-shaped front fenders.
