2008 Volvo Xc70 - Awd, Parking Sensors, Blind Spot Monitor, Child Seats, Sunroof on 2040-cars

Suburban parents are the Volvo XC70's prime target. It's a large station wagon with a brawny look for dad and sensible features for mom. It's upscale enough that your neighbors won't look down on you, but affordable enough to keep sending the kids to summer camp.

Packed with safety features, an entirely competent six-cylinder engine and some nifty innovations, it makes the hell of a car to the upwardly mobile, yet still overwhelmed, parent.

Exterior
The new XC70 is certainly more interesting to look at than past versions. The hood has a noticeable bulge, and some fancy hazard lights bedazzle the front bumper. Around back, giant vertical taillights overpower the look. The end result is fashionable, but still conservative.

The XC70 definitely stands out among family-haulers. For one, it's a station wagon, and a somewhat upscale one. Simple Swedish design wins out in this group; picking the XC70 might be a value choice, but it still makes a statement in the style department. 

Interior
Like the S80 sedan it's based on, the 2008 XC70's interior is a huge leap forward in refinement and ergonomics, and it has plenty of nifty features, too.

The materials are exceptionally pleasing to the touch. The doors are finished in leather with lots of padding to make them nice and soft. A nicely padded center armrest is another nice touch, but as any driver knows, it's the seat that matters most.

Both the driver and front passenger seats are exceptionally comfortable, leaning toward the cushy end of the firm/cushy meter of car-seat testing.

From that perch, you'll take in an elegantly simple dashboard with a nicely grained finish and radically cool gauges — there are digital information displays inside the tachometer and speedometer. The center controls are on Volvo's trademark "floating stack," a thin console that connects from the middle of the dashboard to the shifter. It's always a neat effect, no matter what car it's in.

Going & Stopping
The XC70 comes with a 235-horsepower inline-six-cylinder engine that delivers competent power in city and highway driving. Despite the size of the wagon, it is completely comfortable at high speeds.

The XC70 is rated at 15/22 mpg city/highway. While that may sound a bit low, remember this is a rather large all-wheel-drive vehicle.

Ride & Handling
The XC70 is a good car and it handles like a suburban wagon should. The ride is extremely pleasant on both rough surfaces and smooth highways. Road trips in this car will be a breeze for everybody. There was very little road or wind noise.

Because it's a wagon and has a low center of gravity, there isn't much body lean in turns. Its offroad chops and high ground clearance mean you can take the XC70 on snowy offroad paths to a mountain cabin — or to one of those awful strip-mall entrances — knowing you won't scrape the bottom of the car on anything.

Cargo & Utility
It truly is difficult to find a similarly priced luxury SUV that's as capable and comfortable a cargo-hauler as the XC70. The rear cargo area is simply huge. It's both long and wide, and I was able to fit full-size golf bags across the back perfectly. The load floor's low height also makes everyday tasks like loading and unloading groceries or luggage much easier to handle.

There's also a very well-done hook system built into the cargo floor. Heavy-duty metal hooks slide forward and back and flip up into place easily. Once flipped up, they lock tight so cargo nets and other tie-downs will be secure. It's so simple that it's a wonder more automakers don't do it.

The XC70's rear seats fold down flat with one easy motion.

Safety
Safety and Volvo go together hand-inhand, and the XC70 has plenty of standard safety features. Because cars from other manufacturers score just as highly in crash tests, Volvo has to do even more now. You can win the top award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety — which the 2008 XC70 has — but even then you're on the same playing field with the other winners, and that field has doubled in the past year. So besides the array of airbags, stability control, tire pressure monitoring system and other standard safety features, Volvo has added some intriguing safety options that go beyond the norm, conveying a sense that the car is cradling the family in a security blanket.

In the rare chance the kids are distracting you, Volvo's blind-spot monitor acts as a nanny for the driver, reminding you there's someone in your blind spot in case you haven't been constantly eyeballing all three mirrors.

To really win over the family man or woman, the XC70 comes with built-in booster seats. They deploy in two stages with an easy push of a button and can accommodate children between 33 and 80 pounds.
