You can't beat a big Volvo estate...
Yes, Volvo’s current line-up may run from funky sports hatchback to chunky off-roader, but its core model is the still the V70 big family estate. Since it introduced the PV445 in 1953, Volvo has utterly dominated the premium estate market in the UK, seeing off Audi, BMW and Mercedes with a car brought by drivers more concerned with safety, versatility and comfort than outright image and premium badging. The best-selling V70 may dominate Volvo’s sales charts, but it’s the soft-road XC70 model that’s always been the more interesting car.
This is the third generation XC70 and it borrows the front end from the new S80, the V70’s rear and mixes in jacked-up suspension, permanent all-wheel drive and a handy degree of off-road ability. Equipment levels are high, safety and versatility levels are peerless and there’s a choice of Volvos’ D5 2.4-litre five-cylinder diesel with particulate trap or the company’s new 3.2-litre straight-six petrol power, hooked up to six-cog manual or Geartronic automatic transmissions. The line-up runs the familiar SE, SE Sport and SE Lux models, with prices ranging from £31,035 for the entry-level D5 SE manual to £36,200 for the 3.2 SE Lux automatic flagship.
