The LAST GREAT VOLVO?! - 2015 Volvo XC70 P3 - 30 Minute Mega Review 

Wrong, the D4 AWD is 5-cylinder, 2.4 liter. The D4 FWD is 4-cylinder.

Well the fact it can run on veg oil with no mods without much fuss ... Will be a long wait

and what is your fuel consumption......in Germ/Switzerland/Italy there are just about 3\ % of all XC70: their consumption is over 5l /100 HIGHER than the D5's.....All of our 3 current XC70 w/ D5244T11 have been tuned, not by Volvo/Heico. Remapping givies us instead of 215 hp 280 hp, and torque is up to 530 Nm ! And, instead of using 12.3 l/100 km for the T6 our D5 are just about at 7 l/100 km on the exactly same route and identical driving profile.

@@erker6423 about 21 to 22 mpg, I use as a daily driver

Same. I have the "Classic" 2016 edition T5. It's great. Only issue is they decided to use a leather dashboard on the Classic edition, and the leather starts to bubble and lift out the air vents. Volvo replaced my dash already once, and now the same has happened to the 2nd dash. I'll be going back to Volvo to see if they can replace it yet again.

I'm in Canada and i've got a T6 as well, great engine i love it

The uk with its 1litre cars🤣

Last of the best… agree

As an expert, is the D5 AWD full time AWD or only when needed? Thank you.

I think he’s gone into limp mode

What did you have to work on? Did it have servicing record?

@@tsvetoslavivanchev4014 it had a full service history, main dealer then Volvo specialist. Some of the issues included: Failed cooling fans, broken rear springs, failed radar unit for the cruise control, failed a/c compressor, EGR valve problems and so on….

Make sure AWD otherwise its for girls

i still havnt got my car :( when the dealer did the pre delivery inspection they found a fault with the engine, it was building preassure in the cooling system so they changed the egr cooler but it didnt solve the problem and now they say it is a cracked cylinder head :( i have to wait 1.5 month now

I finaly got it they had to replace the entire engine but now it runs like new awesome car realy

I thought it was too. It certainly sounded like a five cylinder when he booted it on the dual carriageway.

Correct. It's a 5 cylinder however I believe in this model it's a 2L 5 cylinder

@@Robotack1 2.4L for this particular model. The 2.0L were being used on the new shape xc90 2014 onwards. Terrible reliability I here on the 2.0L ones.. The 2.4L 5cyl engines just the best for high mileage.

@@theflybytourist8233 aren't these Ford engines? No sorry that's the D3.

Yep. First thing I thought, there is no such thing as a VEA D4 AWD in the XC70 (and XC60 too I believe). FWD D4 were the new VEA 4 cylinder engine with 8 speed auto or 6 speed manual. AWD D4 were 5 cylinder 2.4 engine with 6 speed auto or manual. I believe this engine did not has sequential turbo charging like the D5. Hopefully the dealer didn’t mis-inform the guy? Confusing era for engine badging. Prior to introduction of VEA 4 cylinder engines, about 2010? There were 5 cylinder d3 and d4 2.0l units - 136bhp and 163bhp? The d5 was 205ps. There was a 2.4D with 185ps? Nice car though. I hanker for xc70, although got a V70 with 205 d5. Problem is I did really well for toys on the V70, I would need to find an xc70 with same level or above to replace. If trying to find a Euro 6 xc70 - need to find a lot of money (relatively).

Same here…Polestar

year?

​@@andrewdiproseread again...

160 km/h is crazy fast! Where do you live?

@@XxXnonameAsDXxX the UAE, that is the speed limit on the major highways

I got my first Volvo, a v60 just a couple of months ago. It feels like someone designed it especially for me. Sitting, driving, parking, everything is smooth. The only thing that bothers me in general for this model is the last pillars are too damn wide. You turn around and there's this huge blind spot.

He’d probably say it’s lovely

Ford owned Volvo from 1999-2010 hence the heated screen !

Nothing wrong eith knowing what you want ;) Be sure to keep us updated on what the C30 is like to own! 😁😁

I think Ford were cutting corners. So yes, no strut, plastic load ties on the sides, no 12v rear socket, less sound proofing, and depending on the version, 2WD, Ford Mondeo suspension.

@@georgedavies4385 Many thanks for that! Taking all of those points into account, maybe the best way to go is with a pre-facelift model...?

@@davidkmatthews It could be! I have a 2011 D5 SE and it has been, hands down, the best car I've ever owned. I take your point about the rear legroom, which isn't the best, but in all other respects it's a multi-talented car that is a joy to own. The D5 engine has been described by my mechanic (at a Volvo specialist) as the 8th wonder of the world and I would say that it's the one to have. Happy hunting!

Foglights never helped in fog…it has always been a joke…

You just don’t have the money to drive a XC70 lol. Come on… get a XC70 dude

Totally disagree… V70 nice but we all know XC70 D5 AWD Polestar is king of the road!!

@@jasper_north you have a right to have an opinion. But to be objective you should be able to test both sides of the argument. My v70 has a map that is far better than polestar (250bhp and 510N;m of torque). It's suspension is far better for driving sensation due to its lower centre of the mass, and I also have haldex (awd) system. On top of that my friend who is xc70 owner after getting a test drive in my car didn't comment at all. That was sufficient for me to know what his thoughts were. And regarding xc70 and it's offroad abilities... They are OK, but I've seen better. Xc70 is an attempt to compromise between a road and off road. And we know how that works. And please don't forget about one big thing. V70 is a history! When you close your eyes and imagine a Volvo, that's what you get. And estate car. Starting from Volvo 240 (pure classic), through 850 and ending on v70. This is history. Don't you forget about it! Xc is about 18 years old. It doesn't have any Volvo engine in its offer anymore! The Last 5 cylinder engine was installed in 2014. Please rethink your comments.

@@pavw5508 all about looks. XC70 wins… same mapping. Both will never be city cars. My friend

@@jasper_north polestar does not change the map individually to a car. That's why it is far worse than professional chip tuning taylored Suit is better than standard in the shop right? . If you still defend it, you don't know what you're talking about. I've tried both cars and drivewise v70 is far better.

It is designed like this, no sagging there.

@@RA-yb1gx Then why are there forum pages of people trying to fix it?

edit: You are right, it actually is sagging. Had a quick look and my XC70's wiper is actually way higher than shown here in perfect horizontal position.@@joelcarterramadge183

Hey tea, I’m not sure as it’s a very rare option here in the UK, taking a guess though I would say yes as the webasto is designed to preheat the car :)

Yes I think would go for that too, but both are great cars !

correct!

Lovely car - way out of my price range though

And way back my Granada Scorpio had a heated windscreen, it was manufactured in 1985. Ford did bring some great technology to Volvo although I appreciate that a lot of people are not happy about that. Very pleased with my D5 XC70 SE LUX, a very comfortable cruiser, and if you get bored you can tow a trailer with your racecar on it...

That’s because in the US you could only get the 3.2 or the t6 with the 3.0 turbo in the p3. My t6 gets around 25mpg in mixed driving

It's literally a smaller capacity 5-cylinder of 2-litres, producing the same power output per litre as the bigger 2.4 litre D5. the reduction in power is down to its reduced capacity rather than because it's a detuned 2.4 litre engine !

Yes it has a lot of Ford parts especially the under pinning's, rust is also more prevalent on the underside compared to the P1 examples, my 2005 P1 D5 was 18 years old when I sold it, and the underside was totally lacking in any kind of rust, whereas my newer Volvo C70 which also uses Ford under pinning's, has far more rust at 12 years old than my 18 years old P1 Volvo V70.
