2011 Volvo XC70 Wagon

A lower price (the base MSRP is about $5,000 less than that of the previous model) is the big news about the 2011 Volvo XC70,which is a luxury all-wheel-drive (AWD) crossover wagon built to handle rugged off-road conditions,according to the automaker. A front-wheel-drive (FWD) version is new for 2011,and both engines gain power and fuel efficiency.

An optional Premium package includes a sunroof,leather upholstery,power passenger seat,and wood trim. Seventeen-inch wheels are also optional. The XC70 T6 AWD model adds most of the Premium features as standard (the sunroof remains optional),plus 18-inch wheels. The Climate option package addresses cold-weather issues; the Convenience package adds a power liftgate and front and rear park assist,plus storage features; the Technology package includes adaptive cruise control and extra safety features. A Multimedia package includes a navigation system,upgraded sound system,and rearview camera. Many options are available as stand-alones.

The 2011 Volvo XC70 3.2 power plant is a 240-horsepower,3.2-liter,inline 6-cylinder engine that works with FWD or AWD. The XC70 T6 AWD features a turbocharged,300-horsepower,3.0-liter,inline 6-cylinder engine that produces 325 lb.-ft. of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control is standard on all 2011 model year XC70s,and all versions deliver 17 or 18 mpg in the city and between 22 and 25 mpg on the highway,according to EPA estimates.

Standard safety features on the 2011 Volvo XC70 include anti-lock disc brakes,stability control,traction control,front side air bags,side curtain air bags,and active front head restraints.

Category Definitions

Performance and Design: Taken from the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study, this measure is based on owner satisfaction with vehicle Performance, Style, Features and Instrument Panel, and Comfort.

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).
