Volvo rates the base XC70's 3.2-liter engine at 235 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Although it is smooth and very quiet, many critics find its power and torque unimpressive in the heavy XC70, providing only average acceleration. Fuel economy is not outstanding, either. The EPA rates the 3.2 AWD at 16/22 city/highway, and Volvo recommends premium fuel.
Volvo’s XC70 Surf Rescue concept was conceived from the Volvo Cars design team and built by Aria, a concept car building firm located in Irvine, California. Inspired from lifeguard vehicles seen on California beaches, the XC70 Surf Rescue is equipped with a 3.2-liter engine producing 235 Hp and it rides atop a 5-inch-lift suspension, oversized tires and heavily modified body panels.
Strong any road with New Volvo XC70
