2008 XC70 AWD wagon













2008 XC70 AWD wagon, an off-road-oritented variant of the the recently-revealed 2008 V70. Power comes from either a 3.2-liter straight six-cylinder gasoline engine or a 2.4-litre five-cylinder D5 turbo diesel engine. The D5 turbo diesel offers 185 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, while the I6 model delivers 238 horsepower and a zero to 60 mph time of 8.1 seconds with a six-speed automatic. The Volvo XC70 can also be equipped with a number of advanced electronic driving systems including Volvo’s award-winning BLIS (blind spot information system), HBA (hydraulic brake assist), OHB (optimised hydraulic brakes), ACC (adaptive cruise control with collision warning and brake support), active bi-xenon headlamps, radar-controlled collision warning, emergency brake lights, all-round laminated glass and Volvo PCC (personal car communicator), which is used to lock and unlock the car as well informing the owner if the alarm has been triggered or, using a heartbeat monitor, to detect if someone is in the car.
