2004 Volvo V70 Wallpapers & Pictures
2004 Volvo V70 Info & Specs Volvo V70 The Volvo V70 is a mid-size station wagon. There have been two generations of the car. Stylised 4x4 versions of the V70 have been sold as the XC trim line and as the XC70 model. Background The original V70 was a development of the Volvo 850 station wagon and sedan series. The new name reflected Volvo's new strategy of naming vehicles depending on size and body style. Thus, the 850 was deemed to be a relative size 70. The name is then appended with the type of vehicle. So the station wagon adopted V (for Versatility), S (for Sedan) and C (for the new Coupé and Convertible). These cars are retrospectively known as V or S 70 Classic. There were some minor improvements in the design from the original 850, including better handling and an uprated specification, but otherwise this was the same car. As already mentioned, Volvo introduced the Coupé and Convertible ranges as the Volvo C70. The convertible outlasted the original car and remained on sale until 2005. In 2000 (2001 for North America), Volvo released the all new V70 (together with S60 sedan variant) based on the new P2 platform that had already been employed as the Volvo S80 sedan in 1998. This new car dispensed with the boxy shape of Volvos before it to take on a curvy profile with a new aggressive front end. The Volvo V70 has been the best selling car in Sweden for many years. The 2001-2006 Volvo XC70 is very popular in New England.
