YOU IN STYLE WHEREVER YOU’D LIKE TO GO – REGARDLESS OF THE ROAD AND WEATHER. IT’S ALSO A SOUL-STIRRING CHANGE THAT INFUSES THE
COMFORT AND DYNAMICS OF A FINE EUROPEAN LUXURY SEDAN INTO A RUGGED ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. AN UNDENIABLY LOGICAL CHOICE
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A NEW PATH WITHOUT SACRIFICING YOUR STANDARDS OF IMPECCABLE TASTE, INTELLIGENT LUXURY, DRIVING PLEASURE
AND PEACE OF MIND.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS HERE – IN A WELL THOUGHT-OUT IN-CAR ENVIRONMENT THAT CATERS EQUALLY WELL TO THE ROUGH STUFF AS
TO THE NEED FOR INTELLIGENT LUXURY. YOU TRAVEL WITH POISE AND ELEGANCE, NO MATTER THE DESTINATION, AND ARE SURROUNDED
BY UNCOMPROMISING SAFETY AND LIBERATING FLEXIBILITY.
“GOOD DESIGN IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF STYLING THE
SURFACE. IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE PRODUCT
EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND USE. IF THE PRODUCT IS NOT
FUNCTIONAL, IT CAN’T BE BEAUTIFUL.”
(THE VOLVO DESIGN PHILOSOPHY)
 THE VOLVO XC70 IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND SAFEST PLACES TO
BE IN ON THE WAY TO YOUR ADVENTURE. ALL THE SEATS OFFER SUPERIOR COMFORT, AND

The outboard rear seats can be equipped with

integrated booster cushions so children always sit

Up to five people travel in quiet comfort here. The
rear seat backrest can be adjusted to two different
positions: one for maximum comfort, and the other to
allow you to maximize the load compartment while
transporting passengers in the rear seat. The rear seat
can be folded fully or partially, and it is available in two
versions: one with a two-section 60/40 split, and the
other a three-section 40/20/40 seat that offers even
greater flexibility (option).

When the need arises, you can quickly fold the split
rear seat – fully or partially. By folding the center part
of the optional three-section 40/20/40 rear seat, you
can transport both loads and passengers without
compromising on comfort. The head restraints tuck
conveniently out of the way, providing you with a flat
floor for your load.

If you need to carry bulky items, just fold down the

front passenger seat backrest. This gives you a flat
load floor that is nearly ten feet long.

to bring the car to a standstill in the shortest possible distance.
