Volvo V70 - Pictures

The Volvo V70 estate is based on the S80 luxury saloon.

The Volvo V70 is a spacious and comfortable estate.

The V70 is only offered with diesel power in the UK - 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4-litre units are available.

All cars are well equipped and even entry models get climate and cruise control.

The interior features Volvo's trademark 'floating' centre console.

The V70 is a great motorway cruiser but rivals are more fun to drive.

The sheer size of the V70 estate makes it tricky to park.

The V70 continues Volvo's excellent safety record, achieving the full 5 stars from Euro NCAP.

V70's are popular with caravan owners as the towing capacity is 2,000kg.

The load area can't compete with the Skoda Superb Estate or Mercedes E-Class estate.
