- Station wagons are soo uncool right? We don't think so, maybe there's something wrong with us? Nope, car enthusiast tend to love wagons, you essentially get all the practicality of an SUV with car like fuel efficiency and handling. That's not always the case, as the current Volvo XC70 feels a bit more like an SUV and drinks gas like an SUV as well. It's still a great family vehicle but we think the brand needs to offer something more to bring new buyers to the family.
I swear that when this guy prepares to do a review, he picks one word and attempts to use it as much as possible. That days word was PRACTICAL
And... loyal.
Practically so
I own a 2013 T6AWD and love it. Just took it cross country. What a blast-tons of power and wonderful comfort. Best car I every purchased.
Rod Greaves hey, there. You still liking that Volvo? I'm considering a used Volvo wagon, but as a current Mercedes owner I am all but traumatized by expensive maintenance and repair costs 😭😭😭😭
@@sighiguess hope you gave up mercs and went volvo
I hope you let the vehicle engine temperature warm up before revving the crap out of it.
truth, dude dogging it out. its not a c30...
This guy obv doesn't know much about cars
@@reallyhappenings5597 I own a 05 XC70 and the key is allowing the air mass flow sensor to rev the engine on start up around 1100 rpms for about 30 sec and the revs go down to 900 rpms all without hitting the gas pedal allowing the thermostat to open. The car actually tells you when it's ready to go. I got 230k on my mine she runs mint.
I love older Volvos, they're very unique interiors, but also nice interiors~ Obviousy the Volvo we have now is completely different in terms of design language and quality, but it is nice to see what the older Volvo interiors were like. I see quite a lot of newer Volvos, mainly the XC90. But with Volvo cars, it's nice to see how well they integrate the practicality in their vehicles with some cool quirks. It's nice to see the Swedish quirks, as we're all used to Japanese, American, and German cars.
Really great review!!!
I, personally, am a big fan of wagons, and this is one of my favorites.
I think the 3.2 is more than fine for 95% of duties. These wagons are for hauling the tribe cross-country and conquering snowcapped highway peaks. If you're gunning it often, I think you bought the wrong kind of vehicle to begin with. The 3.2 will likely be less maintenance and can run on the cheaper gas. Once you're up to highway speeds everybody is going the same pace anyway.
Volvos always have the most comfortable seats.
What makes you think the engine was cold? It was up to full running temperature the whole time...
You never mentioned the diesel they are by far the best choice for the xc70 as they produce more torque and get far better mpg than the petrol versions
Thanks for showing Volvo some love! Their crossovers are pretty popular and I still see a good number of 240's around. I'm disappointed we don't get the V40, I hope Volvo stays around.
I love my Volvo !! 217k on my 95 Volvo 850
Thank you for the review, this helps alot with making my decision in buying this car
.Great blend of knowledge skepticism and experience. I'm subscribing.
I m considering 2016 xc70. Any thoughts on reliability?
The V70 wagon IS still in production, it´s just not imported to the US anymore.
The key is a proximity key. You don’t have to put it in the slot. You can keep it in your pocket to start.
How would you rate the awd on the xc70 compared to the Subaru Outback?
I love Volvos,got a 2000 V70 and a 96 850 Turbo
We were wondering the same thing, we did like the styling of this car a lot.
Nice review and are the seats even more comfortable than a lexus ls
This is the first time i've seen a XC70 without a diesel engine! Such a different market is the US!
I love these cars. I'm considering replacing my GTI with one in a few years
Bought a Wagon yesterday the Volvo has 121,000 miles 2010 no accidents
@@chrisrawls8328
They go for about $25k
Did you buy one?
@@NicholasL2288 Nah I didn't want to give up a manual gearbox. Still love the cars but not at the point in my life where I need the space yet.
@@svenskfox Ah ok these Xc70's are really lovely wagons. I try every week to find one but their either high mileage or just really expensive,
what did you have in mind?
I feel like you missed the main components the problem here is you were to Young ? Revving the engine, listening to the exhaust sound, how fast you can go are what teenagers and kids in there 20s look for . Safe,like auto stop , anti-lock brakes, and a load of other features you missed, who is your audience? ,
Ford owned Volvo between 1999 and 2008, which is why Volvos have similarities with Fords. I too love the seats, but Volvo does have a lot of competition. BMW, Mercedes, and even Cadillac make several popular luxury station wagons.
Nice Review Of 2010 Volvo XC70. 😁
Thanks so much for the review! Almost had one of these over the Tundra. Though as you said, the MPGs on the T6 is just about what we get in our V8 truck. Anyways, gotta love a good Volvo wagon!
Just watched your review of the newer Mazda 6 - that one's available around the world as a wagon, and it looks great. We're down to the XC70 and e-class wagons as the only larger ones in the US. Looking forward to the v80 that's said to be coming soon-ish - but with all the wagon drop-outs of the past few years in the US (A6, 5-series, V70,
Passat etc) I think a model like the Mazda 6 could do well.
I don't know, looking at this in 2020 and comparing it to the current v90 and v60, yes, those cars look more stylish and swoopier. But, there's something I like better about the consistent height of the windows for visibility, a vertical hatch and the flow of this car. To me, this car doesn't look old-fashioned, heck, the Kia Telluride has this sort of consistent flow look to it. Yes, the new ones are nicer inside but this isn't bad. The v70 is something Volvo could still make or they should market the v60/v60 cc more. I'm kind of tired of seeing so many SUVs from Volvos and so few current wagons from them.
I'd much rather have the 3.2 in the premier plus or platinum package. Then going with the T5 Or T6 engines. Those turbos will break down eventually and you'll pay quite a hefty price for repairing them when they do. Not to mention they operate FAR FAR better on 91 octane gas which can get expensive. Where as the 3.2 models are fine using 87 octane and have MORE then enough horsepower to get the job done.
I have a twin turbo s80 T6 and it's going fine at 160,000 miles. I think going with turbos are fine if you like the extra power.
There's no better way to clear the cobwebs then by revving the hell out of an engine, better still if it's cold. :(
Look at my ring, look at my ring, LLOOOOOOOOKK AT MY RING....
I wonder what the 300hp XC70 T6 drives like.... that's a swift, smooth wagon!
Love the sound
Nice video! Does anyone know how it fairs with a D5 engine?
I've always liked Volvos as much as Subarus, but they were always out of my price range. With that being said, since Subaru has the Forester and Outback and seems to be letting the Tribeca go, I always thought it would be smart of Subaru to move the Outback more upmarket (it is already a couple grand more than the Legacy). It seems like it wouldn't be a stretch since the platform is shared with the Legacy.
Do you think the Subaru Outback 3.6H6 would be a better engine than this one
How mutch horsepower?
Volvos are known for their amazing seats and safty haha. I love volvos the only problem is there engines they are all lacking power in my personal opinion all their engines could use a little boost not so much that its crazy but just a little bit more to make it a more desireable company I've driven all volvos haha
Volvo xc or Volvo 90s station wagon?
My father had a 2004 V70R, which was very fast but very stiff riding. He currently has a 2002 V70XC and it's a nice ride but it's sloooooow. That's why I am curious about adding more power!
The holy grail of Volvo mods is the R engine in the XC70, at least for the P2's
Can you do the previous generation XC70? Thank you!!!
The toyota venza is a cool wagon for sure
Drive a v70R or s60R you will be pleasantly surprised!! And I know ull fall in love.
You should try out a new 2014 S60. You would be very surprised at what a different car it is from the XC70 wagon. Truthfully the current XC70 wagon's suspension has been re-tuned and drives much better than the 2010. In the year 2014 a 2015 model XC90 will be coming out. Hopefully a new XC60 will follow.
way to rev the crap out of the cold engine!!! busch league brah
Why not getting the T6 which is way cooler.
Because you'll pay a premium for repairing that turbo down the line. Along with having to use higher octane gas to get the most of out the turbo engine. The 3.2 is MORE than sufficient in horsepower and uses 87 octane.
You don't need to insert the keyfob btw. Own the car
You did on my car. Late 2009 Uk car. Cars later than this one with different head unit set up, still had slot and button but you didn’t have to put the key in.
(im a subscriber of redline and was shopping for an old volvo and i saw this) 2022 hair vs 2012 hair WAHAHAHA!!!!
Lol the hair, good review I pull this up cause I'm buying a used one i found for 4k with 122k miles 08 V70
These wagons may be stylish and fun to drive, but it is not very efficient. A diesel model would be nice for the American market, but I don't think Volvo USA has enough finances to make it happen.
I wish there were more inline 6 vehicles
If you need to tow heavy trailers, you should buy it with one of the diesel engines.
Ben that's not available in the us
you're right it almost looks like artificial leather...though i'm sure it's just a different type/form of leather. whatever it is it sure looks comfortable...
Y do u always make videos there is it ur dealership
We felt this car had a good platform to start with, it just needed more guts ;)
haha...i like your facial expression at 7:27
Pre-hairgel Sofyan😏😏😏
Nice car but I was so distracted by all those rediculously large trucks sitting around it with their daft chrome or plastic noses ;o) If I was a family man and needed a car like this, I'd take an estate over an suv anyday, suvs have no class or grace :o( Love the sound of the engine :o)
Aha, I wondered what the strange wind noise was :o)
I promise you if you buy a volvo you will not regrat!
He wants you to make a review of a 94-97 Toyota Supra.
That was my wagon I be telling you to get out you know nothing of Volvo"s
Bro, you literally turned the engine and revved the living crap out of it after it was on for 3 seconds. You need to probably know a little bit more about the car before you do a review. Thanks for browsing the manual before your "review"... Volvo is NOT a niche car, either, its a very popular car. "One of the rare people looking for a station wagon??? huh? Have you not seen how many are on the road at any given time? This particular Volvo and the xc 90 and now the xc60 sell like pancakes. You're a cool, laid back dude it seems, I'm just joking...somewhat...hahhaa. Volvo enthusiasts and wagon enthusiasts on top of that have to take up for some of the comments said here though. P.S.: you always need AWD...lol. Anyway, Peace!
Sofyan, part your hair to the side, it'd look cuter.
Could you review a Mazda 6 (2012) and Mazda CX-9
can u do a 97-08 maxima review?
getting rid of my tt 335i for 1 of these. lol
You do know that the Xc 70 replaced the v70 hint in the name itself
Dated rear end
He is as annoying as the adverts !!
The leather in that car looks really cheap
Who's here in 2024 when Sofyan is out of the closet?
I don't believe you know many people in the baby boomer generation.
regret*
Dude is a real sweet sugar can...UGH!
crazy how much better my volvo v70 - 200 hp - 2001 - turbo is in the interior
Dang, he got A LOT cuter in more recent reviews
Volvo was good until the Chinese take over.
7th gen Civic! Lol.
Exterior seems old
Because it IS old...The XC70 was introduced back in 2008...
no chinese brand...........
cool muffler bro.. F'n garbage!! good crash test rating though. power train and suspension is absolutely garbage
SOFYAN please review the 2013 venza! No one has done a proper review of it!
