XC70

You have a true adventurer's spirit and you need a wagon with total all around capability - both on and off road. With its high ground clearance and superb chassis, the 2014 XC70 is the answer. You'll drive confidently in the knowledge that your car has refined strength to take you anywhere, in any weather.

Since the first V70 Cross Country was introduced in 1997, Volvo's main focus during tits development has been to maintain the aura of a very comfortable on-road car with capable, off-road potential. The rugged and refined contemporary look truly reflects the XC70's underlying strength and capability.

Design

The XC70 also features improved off-road design cues such as skidplates that protect the car on uneven surfaces. The XC70 offers first-class comfort and sophistication combined with an impressive 72.1 cu/ft. of cargo space - and the rear seats can be folded down into three 40/20/40 segments to achieve even more space when needed. The power-operated tailgate, which can be opened remotely via the key fob, or the dashboard, is another human-centric detail. The rear seat can integrate double two-stage child seats - with one simple movement, booster cushions pop up from the seat giving a comfortable and safe ride height for children from the age of three and upwards.

The car has been developed and balanced to give a first-class driving experience, based largely on pliant ride and secure road holding, allied to high stability. Stability is particularly important when driving with many passengers and lots of luggage. All-Wheel Drive and the optional Hill Descent Control are a further boost to the XC70's go-anywhere promise. The XC70 can be optionally specified with an active chassis based on Volvo's Four-C technology, which uses a number of sensors to continuously monitor the car's behavior, and adjust the dampers to suit the current driving conditions.

Innovative Technology The 2015 XC70 features Volvo Sensus, where information from the audio unit, navigation system, mobile phone, and other functions is presented on a high resolution 7-inch color screen in the upper part of the center console. All the functions can be controlled from the steering wheel via a thumb wheel, or through traditional controls directly below the color display. Focus was on the development of an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) solution that is easy to handle and that does not distract the driver from the main task of driving. Volvo is one of the few manufacturers to give the driver access to all infotainment functions via controls in the steering wheel. Optionally, Sensus Connected Touch can extend this technology to enable further connectivity and add an infrared  beam-scanned touch screen that can be used even when wearing gloves.

Renowned Safety and Support

The Volvo XC70  features such innovations as City Safety, which for 2015 has been upgraded to be active at speeds up to 31 mph. The car automatically brakes if the driver fails to react in time when the vehicle in front slows or stops - or if the car is approaching a stationary vehicle too fast.

Safety features, that are available at various trim levels for 2015 include Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Active High Beams, Distance Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Road Sign Information.

Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full Auto Brake is a groundbreaking technology solution that actively helps the driver avoid accidents. Volvo's radar-and-camera-based system can detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn the driver if anyone walks out into its path - and then automatically activate the V60's full braking power if the driver fails to respond in time. This world-first technology can help the driver avoid a collision with a pedestrian.

Half of all pedestrian accidents occur at speeds below 16 mph. Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds up to 22 mph if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on reducing the car's speed as much as possible prior to the impact. 

Volvo's first cross-over is the perfect activity vehicle for those who have a love for recreation and the outdoors. The XC70 is a confident expression of comfort, capability and safety in every situation - from demanding all-weather drives to extended trips.
