Volvo XC70
A new front-wheel-drive model joins Volvo's segment-defining
XC70 crossover lineup for 2011. Building upon more than five decades of continuous improvement in the premium wagon sector, the new XC70 3.2 FWD effectively replaces the Volvo V70 that concluded its lengthy run at the end of the 2010 model year. The major difference between the XC70 3.2 FWD and its AWD counterpart is the way that power is transferred to the ground. The former sends all torque exclusively to the front wheels. The latter is fitted with Volvo's signature All-Wheel Drive with Instant TractionTM for the best possible grip in all situations. All XC70s are fitted with a six-speed "Geartronic" automatic transmission that enables the driver to shift manually when desired.
