How does it feel to drive a VOLVO XC70?!! Very smooth and quiet 😌🤚🏻 amazing stability on highways.. 

be quick. they're aging and their successor V90 CC is not anymore like them

@@pav85rez yeah, V90 CC is even better, with better Haldex, better cabin, better infotaiment system (even though there's a lack of AC buttons), better design and engine performance.

@@kordaxmint533 is more modern, but not necessarily better in all ways. Practical usage of cargo space is better on XC70 (due to its shape and rear door angle), as an example. Infotainment is more modern and supporting modern technologies (like Apple Car Play), but controlling AC and other things via touchscreen is simply silly. These things should be always physical buttons, so that yu can manage them without looking away from road...

@@pav85rez I agree on cargo space and ac buttons, but new car is Better in most aspects, especially the drivetrain, suspension and platform (spa)

@@kordaxmint533 And everything beside engine is absolutely not what makes car better... I would chose Xc70 always before V90 cc and i think that Volvo90cc is the best vagon on the market, by far!!

Give me subscribe and thumbs-up 🫡😍

Except current generation. Poor quality and reliability and nothing like the P3's. I have a 2015 T6 which I love.

Exactly 100% Volvo for life, i would never ever change Volvo far ANY, but ANY other car!!! There is only Volvo, expecially Volvo XC70 P3 D5, my favourite, and i want to buy soon is 2016. year!!

I've got the same car but mine is front wheel drive. Same engine and gearbox etc. I agree it's a real tank. I love it!

It was "outdatet" when it was new, the hood and sides with the catwalk was a retrofit from Amazon(120 series) and 140 series.

It looks sort of timeless. Wit the tec inside the models from 2012 hold inside, is comfortable to use for the next 5-10 years. Unlike BMW's eyedrive wich was idiotic and like 20 years old cellphone. Like Nokia N-Gage after the BMW had been on sale like two years. And the ride on the Volvo. My ol' man has an MK3 V70 and it's superb on these Finnish roads. Everytime i borrow it, i want to drive it to the France or Denmark etc. On one seat.

It does not look outdated and those headlights match the overall design rather well. The sleek Thors Hammer design would not have matched the classic edgy design language in my opinion and I can confirm that the xenon headlights are quite effective. It is actually quite remarkable that this car got a thorough second facelift with the changed front bumper design (the S/V70 even got a different grille and rear bumper design), rear lights, updated interior and information tech and even an update of the biggest AWD 5-cylinder engine to Euro 6 emissions standards (albeit also with the introduction of 4-cylinder engines). The 70 series was overdue for a complete model change around 2013 but with the sale of Volvo to Geely they decided (or were forced) to run the model longer and give it a thorough update. That is why you have all of the amazing aforementioned updates even during the later years of this model. Having the big AWD 5-cylinder diesel engine with EURO 6 emissions standards is quite impressive for such a classic vehicle in the new car world of the mid 2010s.

Me too! 👍🏻

I had one, best car I've ever owned.

Yup. Great car.

Does it have comfortable seats?

@@nikodaq yes Nikodem. Typical Volvo armchair comfort

We will never know I am afraid... Zs

It’s just a Phone with Volvo Cars Application, if your car has Volvo on call system.

XC60 AWD turning circle is 11.7m, and XC70 AWD is a bit lower at 11.5m. For comparison, VW Passat is also 11.7m, and Mercedes E Class RWD is 11.5m.

Volvo car application help you to check and control your Volvo , you found it on the store ..

@@mechanicalhobbies8258 not really needed

Does not seem to do much !

It also depends on the sound insulation inside the car. Something like an S-class could have rock solid tires but still be silent on the highway

Yes, Polestar version..

@@mechanicalhobbies8258 When you pull the shift stick to the left from the D-gear...

@@viihdeterapeutti Yes , when you pull it to the left the gearbox change to sport drive mode, and you can use the shifter manually 8 speeds.

My manual also have a sport mode, called "super duper sport", real extreme!

it's basically useless and makes nearly zero difference for performance.

No it is not!!!! Gadget

sit in the big VOLVO you will be hooked I just got a s60 D5 my first Volvo and I love it

@@Bob-nu3xe I had a Volvo 345 many years ago, definitely left it's mark on me. Currently drive a focus mk2 estate and the xc70 looks like a nicer alternative, certainly the interior is nuch mote upmarket, plus I like the rugged look, high ground clearance and go anywhere type appeal.👍

~5L/100 km

That must be in the highway going 90-110. Combined fuel economy is probably closer to 7 liters per 100 km or above@@mechanicalhobbies8258

In which way, i am asking seriously?

Hehe.. A Mercedes E-class all-terrain from same year was cheaper.

But you have issues every day 🤕😮‍💨

@@mechanicalhobbies8258 280.000 km - Not a single issue yet :D

@@andersnielsen6044 That's good 👍🏻 you are lucky

so you say!@@andersnielsen6044

the D5 diesel actually sounds very nice, especially if you sometimes push the pedal to the metal :D

not true... i was gliding at 170 km/h with this and was super stable and smooth

@@pav85rez it depends. It's stable if you compare it to cheaper cars, but BMW 3/5 series or Mercedes E are much better at it.

@@kordaxmint533 The primary purpose of XC70 is different than BMW 3/5 or Mercedes E. And with is 21cm clearance, the stability in high speed is amazing

@@pav85rez bmw x3 stability is way better.

@@kordaxmint533 model year 2012? newer ones for sure. remember that XC 70, even the latest facelift is still practically a car made in 2008... compare to X3 from 2008 and let me know...

I had pretty similar experience, but for me, stability and driving pleasure is BMW, but comfort is by far with Volvo..
