The VOLVO XC70 (2010-13) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 D4 DPF SS 163 EU5 SE LUX 6SPD 2WD is a large, premium estate with a raised, rugged look rather than a conventional family wagon. In the UK it sits between an executive estate and a practical soft-roader, offering useful space without the bulk of a full-size SUV. It suits families, frequent commuters and drivers who want a comfortable long-distance car with room for luggage, pets or outdoor gear. The 163hp diesel and six-speed manual are suited to steady motorway journeys, while the SE Lux trim gives it an upmarket feel. Its estate practicality and robust styling distinguish it from rivals such as the Audi A6 Allroad.
