The all-new Volvo V70 is made even more luxurious and has added a sportier feel to it. It has greater performance, with its versatility made much better. Its intelligent design allows more availability of space for both passengers and luggage. Volvo is trusted for being a safe car and that reputation is not risked in the Volvo V70.

It is not only adults who will travel with comfort and protection. Children will also be able to travel without their parents having to worry. The Side Impact protection System (SIPS) improves their safety with its stronger body structure. Combined with the extended inflatable curtains and adjustable child booster seats, the all-new Volvo V70 delivers comfort and safety to children.

Not negating their safety standards for being a stylish car, Volvo V70’s SIPS is redesigned for optimum protection against side impacts. Its strong body structure makes it possible to keep the force of a collision away from the passengers. The side impact airbags help absorb the maximum impact of the body since it is inflated five times as much as the chest chamber.

The all-new Volvo V70 also comes equipped with the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), an option for the drivers. A camera is strategically placed in the outer mirror and detects when the driver is entering a blind spot. A warning light will alert he driver if this happens and will work even when in the dark.

There is also a collision warning together with the auto brake. This alarms the driver of a possible collision, giving the driver enough time to react and avoid the collision. The braking system’s hydraulic pressure is increased, making it possible that a successful braking happens even if the brake pedal is not pressed hard. In case the driver is not able to step on the brakes when a collision is about to happen, the brakes are automatically activated. This automatic braking is intended to slow down the speed of the car, helping make it possible to reduce the risks that might occur should any braking not happen. Although the avoidance of collision is not always completely certain, the automatic braking does help by reducing the car’s speed by up to 25 km/h (15 mph), in approximation.

Not only is Volvo V70 safe and secured but it also has a space that is more than enough. There is an extra load compartment under the floor, giving extra room for keeping things. It is easily accessible via a hatch, which automatically locks when the tailgate closes.
