Volvo XC70
Manufacturer 
Volvo
Model
XC70
Segment/Specs
SUV
Capable, but held back by its lack of ability when actually moving.
Performance 
D5 diesel engine is the pick, with the 2.5-litre petrol powerful but sure to whack you in the head with its running costs.
Driving
Four-wheel drive smooths the V70s wilder excesses. Offroad ability is fairly limited.
Feel
Both engines will be noisy when revved hard. The XC70 is not the greatest cruiser imaginable.
Price
Residuals will be middling but running costs - especially on the petrol model - will be high.
Quality
Looks and feels nice inside and there shouldn't be any problems with reliability.
Safety
Anti-whiplash, side-impact protection system and inflatable side curtains are standard.
Space
Massive amounts of space and versatility. Everything splits and folds that you expect to split and fold.
Equipment
All XC70s have climate control, electric windows, CD autochanger, electric seat-height adjustment, alloys and leather Auto boxes are an option.
Alternatives
Subaru Legacy
Pros
Big, assured, comfortable.
Cons
Not good on-the-road, not good off-the-road
