2006 Volvo XC70 Road Test Ratings

A comfortable ride plus uncomfortable styling equals quite an ordinary driving experience.

Light steering, soft suspension and uninspiring powertrains make the XC70 driving experience ordinary.

Well-shaped seats and a quiet, comfortable ride make the V70 a nice car to ride around in.

The square roofline makes for good cargo carrying capability, but some of the controls, especially the audio system, are hard to understand.

The SUV styling treatment looks a bit forced.
