Overview & Reviews
We usually prefer a wagon over an SUV, but the 2012 Volvo XC70 doesn't impress when matched against modern crossovers that offer more space and better fuel economy.
- Potent turbocharged engine.
- Exceptional seat comfort
- Ample cargo capacity
- Numerous safety features
- Available integrated rear booster seats
- Unimpressive handling

Solid, Smooth and very powerful - 2012 Volvo XC70
By rnarendmd - August 24 - 6:59 amThis is my second xc70 after trading up from a 2006 model. The new T6 model is so much better than the previous model. The engine is terrific and the comfort and ride quality are much improved. Gas mileage is about the same as the old turbo 5 cyl. (avg. 19.6 so far on reg. fuel; but car only has 500 miles on it and is not broken in yet). The premium stereo is terrific and the streaming bluetooth works great. The overall feeling of the car is very refined and is a great car for someone with young kids. Cargo space is obviously excellent as well. Very happy with my new car and looking forward to the first road trip!
