I've only had this car for a few weeks but I love it. Selected it, narrowly, over a Subaru Outback Limited because of the extra rear seat room and trunk space. This car has a beautiful fit and finish, both inside and out. The controls are well laid out and ergonomic. It lacks good acceleration but the engine has real power on the highway. It's no sports car, but drives nicely, is quiet, and luxurious. After suffering through five years with an Audi Allroad that was a mechanical nightmare (just say no!) I am expecting a much better experience with this car. So far, so good.

Purchased new. Basic model with no options. Very comfortable interior, great seats, clear controls. Reasonable acceleration, sounds fine, smooth transmission. Average fuel economy for weight and off road capability. Well built and feels solid with lots of airbags. Plenty of space. Floaty ride, but comfortable and seems reasonable for a cross over.

Solid car protected me during off- set/head-on 55 MPH collision on 101 north of Hopland, CA. Other driver decided to make a u-turn on 101! Car took the crash well. Felt like I was in a vault. Slightly underpowered, needs turbo. Got same model again with more options.
A fine car

I have had the car for nine years . Admittedly the mileage is low, but it is like a new 🚗 car. I had some trouble s few years back with the motherboard, which was replaced. Unfortunately, even though the car had very low mileage I had owned it for more than 5 years so it was out of warranty . Love ❤️ my Volvo XC 70!

I love this vehicle! Was a bit hesitant as I moved from a Mercedes E500 and thought I'd miss the HP & luxury but the Volvo has far exceeded expectations. I drive through Colorado about 50K/year and with Blizzak tires, the Volvo is extremely dependable & secure. I will drive 600 miles in one day and finish refreshed & happy. Averaging 24 MPG on non-premium gas. Certainly not a race car - but you should know that going in. Two thumbs up. Only complaint, the key stinks.
