Automobile enthusiasts have correctly opined that this vehicle is a restyled version of the V70, which in turn was developed for better performance on the road. The 2008 XC70 experiences a slight reduction in height but a simultaneous increase in fuselage capacity.
The '08 XC70 is fitted with an I-6 engine having a capacity of 3.2 liters. The gasoline version of this engine generates around 235hp of horsepower along with a tremendous 236lb-ft of torque. The all-wheel drivetrain is capable of producing a mileage of 22mpg on the highway.
The excellent off-road performance of the 2008 Volvo XC70 is a direct result of its active chassis fitted with electronically modulated dampers. Collision warning, blind spot assistance, optimized hydraulic brakes, adaptive cruise control and inflatable curtain airbags make this SUV one of the safest and smoothest even at high speeds or on rough terrain.
