2008 Volvo XC70

All-new for 2008. edited by J.P. Vettraino

Summary

2008 Volvo XC70

The 2008 Volvo XC70 is all-new, and better than its predecessors in just about every way. It looks better, in our opinion, and its interior is first rate. It's quiet, maneuverable and pleasant for the sort of driving most of us do most of the time, which means carrying ourselves, our things and passengers on freeways and city streets. It also offers genuine off-pavement capability and it's very good on unpaved roads. It has lots of room for gear and the cargo compartment is perfectly flat. It offers many advantages over truck-based SUVs, including better fuel economy, better handling, better ride, and for many it's a more rational alternative.

J.P. Vettraino filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com from Germany, with Mitch McCullough reporting from northwestern Montana.
