Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Volvo XC70 picks up a revised set of alloy wheels and exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals. Additionally, stability control and a tire-pressure monitor are now standard. A dual-screen rear entertainment system is a new option, and the optional bi-xenon headlights are now an adaptive design, better enabling drivers to see around turns on dark roads. The rear-facing third-row seat is no longer available.

• Superb seat comfort, lots of cargo space for a wagon, variety of safety features, strong brakes, excellent snow vehicle.

• Not much power for this price range, modest handling, minimal off-road capability despite raised suspension, tight legroom in backseat.

  Cant have it all - 2007 Volvo XC70
  By Volvoman - October 24 - 5:10 pm

  2nd Volvo XC 70 for us. Previous was 03, with better mileage (17/26). City driving yields 13mpg, highway never better than 22. Also have had repeated problems with the tire pressure monitoring system--car has been back 3x for service--each time, they tweak, but warning message comes on after 30 minutes on highway. Never in short runs in city. Earlier they changed sensors, told me to keep tyres infated to 43psi (!) Now they have changed some electronics-lets see.

  Poor MPG - 2007 Volvo XC70
  By MF Stack - January 21 - 9:10 pm

  This is my second Volvo XC70 after the 2004. The 2007 model is on the same chassis, same engine but the miles per gallon are poor. I get less than 14 MPG in the city and about 19 MPG on the highway. I use premium gasoline and my driving pattern is the same as with the 2004 which got at least 22 on the highway and 17MPG in the city. The dealer has tried a few minor tweaks but wont really look into the problem and does not care. I think I bought a lemon as far as gas mileage is concerned. Other features on the wagon are good to great but with gas prices so high, this is not a car to own.

  tire sensors - 2007 Volvo XC70
  By stella - October 24 - 5:36 am

  Only owned vehicle for 3 months, Applied winter tire package. There was a problem with the auto accepting the sensors. Dealers could not find out why. The sensors were removed and now have winter tires . They will refund me for the ??sensors??? Car drives well in snow.

  You wont know unless you ask - 2007 Volvo XC70
  By Jordan - March 13 - 2:50 am

  Had tinted windows applied after factory. My kids put the windows down. the windows would not go back up . called dealership. Had to drive to dealership (30 minutes away) in the rain... They got the windows to go back up. They told me not to put the windows down for a week. Decided to apply winter tire package. Waited 1.5 hrs in service. Cost me $1100.00. Drove 20 min away. message comes on tells me I need service on my tires. Call service, I am told they forgot to add the sensors with the tires. This, apparently, is something new and needs to be added for a price of $350.00. I tell them, Ill be back another day. I return. Wait another 1.5 hrs.. Drive 20 min. down the road and message.
