An
estate wagon of mid-size dimensions from Volvo has a flexible seat design for
up to seven riders and an expandable cargo compartment. Posh appointments dot
the cabin, with power-operated controls and a high caliber of equipment in the
mode of European touring sedans.
Entry
comes with the V70 2.4 packing a 2.4-liter in-line-five rated at 165 hp. The FWD
V70 2.5T gains a more powerful 2.5-liter light-pressure turbo five for 208 hp,
the same plant that works on V70 2.5T AWD model, and a FWD V70 T5 stocks a 2.3-liter
five high-pressure turbo worth 247 hp.
Yet
the quickest wagon has to be the V70 R. Rigged for performance, it has the 2.5-liter
five primed with turbo-charger and twin inter-coolers to turn out 300 hp.
