The Swedish automaker Volvo is proud to present its Volvo XC70, a highly practical sports utility vehicle that’s perfect for off-road adventures complete with an excellent cabin for a comfortable drive.

The Volvo XC70 also has powerful specs from the Volvo auto parts under its hood with its standard 3.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine producing 235 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. To control this power engine is a six-speed “Geartronic” automatic transmission. This gearbox also allows the driver to shift to manual transmission if he wants to have full control of the vehicle’s speed. For better road grip, Volvo also equipped the XC70 with an all-wheel drive system. The XC70 also sports the new electronic Hill Descent Control (HDC) which optimizes the vehicle’s brakes and engine torque to crawl in bottom gear when the vehicle is on steep downhill slopes.

In addition to that, the new Volvo XC70 is equipped with a soft suspension system which provides the passengers with a very comfortable drive. There’s also an extra spring which makes the uneven road surface no match for the Volvo XC70. The other Volvo XC70 parts are the five-cylinder D5 diesel engine or one could also use the alternative engine which is the 2.5T petrol. This alternative engine also has a turbo, making the XC70 torquey for a petrol vehicle.

The Volvo XC70 also experienced a facelift as it has been designed to be a quasi-off-road version of the V70 Estate with improved bumpers, increased ride height and Volvo fog light with improved design. It also sports a dark grey cladding on the flasks and silver underbody protectors.

Inside, the XC70 was also given an improved look with a floating center console. Its controls are appropriately placed as they are easy to navigate. The designer of Volvo also made the chrome ventilation buttons to glow green at night. The seats were also made to be supple and really comfortable for a relaxing ride.

The upgraded Volvo XC70 is all set to be released in the Canadian Market by October, with a starting price of $46, 495. Still equipped with the same high-quality Volvo auto parts, the new XC70 roars in all its grandeur with a powerful the Volvo engine parts comprising of a 3.2 litre straight-six with 235 horsepower, a six-speed automatic transmission and all wheel drive with Instant Traction, making it all the more irresistible to the people. Capable in bad weather or on the trails, the XC70 includes a hill-descent control system as standard as well, which greatly helps it to safely scale down steep inclines.

“Canada is the fifth largest market in the world for the XC70 and a strong success story,” said Steve Blyth, President and CEO of Volvo Canada in an interview. “We found the second generation model resonated well with Canadian consumers, offering safety, luxury, versatility and all-wheel drive in one attractive package. The third generation XC70 takes things a step further, being a larger vehicle, with a more powerful engine, more standard and optional equipment and all-new styling.”

Stand-alone options include a blind spot warning system, priced at $750, which scans the XC70’s blind spots and alerts drivers if it detects a possibly hidden vehicle. Adaptive cruise control and collision warning technology is available for $1,500. This feature automatically maintains a safe cruising distance behind another vehicle and can ready the brakes for a panic stop if one seems likely.
