The Volvo V70 is a brand new car that has improved significantly in every sense and has a lot in common with the S80. The V70 is built on the Ford EUCD platform along with other Ford models - the S-MAX, Mondeo and Galaxy, although these are very different models. The station wagon has an automatic luggage loading system and an automatic closing function. A V70 XC (Cross Country) version of all-wheel drive with increased ground clearance and plastic body elements is also available. The most powerful version called the V70R has 300 hp (224 kW) of power and 400 Nm of torque. The interior of the V70 is considered one of the most comfortable in the entire car industry - the car is much more luxurious than the previous generation and boasts an atmosphere of "Scandinavian design". The car is undoubtedly renowned for its superior safety features - it is rated excellent for front, side and rear-end crashes and is better than its German or Japanese competitors. In addition to many common safety solutions, the car also offers a BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) system to help keep track of blind spots invisible to drivers, as well as a system that checks vehicles in front and alerts the driver if they get too close. All in all, it's an extremely safe, comfortable, solid and quite good-looking car, the only question is whether it will attract younger buyers, which Volvo has been struggling with lately.
