I bought a 2016 last year. It is such a nice car. We drove it cross country through AZ, UT, CO. Went off road a bit in CO until it got too rocky. The car handled all of it no problem.
Last month my mechanic said we finally had to admit defeat and scrap my 21 year old v70. He looked thoughtful for a moment and asked if I’d be interested in a mint xc70 that another customer was selling. Yes I was.
04 XC70 owners rejoice...just how capable our VOLVO version is. That would have been a helluva trip to be part of. No matter the trip, just driving an XC70 is pure pleasure. This pure rugged get through it video was superb..... VOLVO...for life.
Yes. The front tires wear out much faster, of course. I actually have a different pair in the front and back of my 04 XC. I know you shouldn’t mix, but it will be ok 👍🏻
@@edashton1662 Solid ground clearance and light sleak body with soft tuned suspension with huge travel it gives best articulation. High profile tires help a lot as well.
and how long that poor haldex will last if you use car in conditions like this often? Local volvo specialized service told that 4-5 yr old cars arrive often with haldex pump issues or with no splines in angle gear.
Fuel is a downside. Huge tank but it sure drinks alot but overall its the most sold car ever in all of Sweden and you see them every single day a bunch of them. They are the ultimate daily driver, not because I love Volvo but because this P2 Volvo XC70 can take some nasty critical damage and keep roll. Absolute units. Crazy power in these ones and 5/5 in comfort and safety. So the fuel in itself is not a problem when you get such a great experience. Plus, if you got kids you want them to drive comfortable AWD and high up.

Google says a Volvo typically will last for 20 years, which is much better compared to 15 years of Passat. What I am wondering is how safe could they be after 10/15 years on the road? Airbags, let's say, are guaranteed for ten years to work properly, after that they need to be changed. And there is this 'metal fatigue' issue. A 2005 Volvo xc70 has 16% more metal, which is to assure safety, I guess, compared to a 2008 Forester. Can we say 2011/12/13 Civic/Corolla/Jetta are safer than a 2005 XC70? As you see I need ideas here. Thanks.
Most crashes are left hand turns, following too close, and not letting people change lanes. You can't crash into air. The more space you have, the safer you are. Metal fatigue can change none of the above.
I'm seriously considering getting one of these (2006) should I buy it in diesel or Petrol? Question regarding trustworthiness of the engine ect. Thanks
If I'm correct the grey one is a newer model (2005 and newer) and has a Haldex. Older models (black/blue one in this vid) have the viscous coupling unit

I love my xc70. For me it's just the right blend of rugged and comfort.

What was the reason for scrapping the V70?

Where from are you?
I own a V70 myself but the XC70.. Weuww, might just be the most enjoyable car to drive ever. Great as a daily but also fantastic off road.
Super auto. Nie rdzewieje. Podobno. Wygodne. Podobno. Mało awaryjne. Podobno. Jak widać wystarczająco dzielne w terenie. Dzięki za film.
I want to buy this Car... I love XC70!
Glad to see, at least 90% have working Haldex system
Awd power!
With the right tyres these are amazing. I think I will get one
Good luck!

Built to drive with confidence. I have the 2004 2.3 XC70, now I dont worry about wheels spinning and get stuck somewhere
2.3? Or 2.4 147kw?
Hi mat I'M thinking of buy one but don't know if i go for a diesel or the t5. I was going to but a mitsubishi shogun 3.2 did.
Awesome. Love that car 😍
great location for a great car !!!
That's how we roll!!

Bet P2 XC70 is the most capable offroader of all Volvos ever made ...
Please explain ?
the AWD XC90s win with significantly larger tires
More capable than the Sugga?

O ką vairuoji?
Man! Just when i thought of selling my XC70 and i come across this kind of footage. Huh! What to do?
If you’re not buying another volvo don’t sell it!
is the volvo with the lightbar onthe roof lifted? what lift kit? spacers or springs?
roberts dancauskis go to xc70liftkit.com or cross country performance
how you fight the mud inside the wheels? i hate that vibrating?
I just bought one gray xc70 sits like a truck

Where I'm from, you normally buy this car when it is 20 years old 😅

allso this type of offroading can become realy expensive whe haldex dies.
They’re made to do this
Looked to me like the turquoise with big tires was running front wheels only. Might have been a Haldex failure, but I could be wrong.
Subaru Outback is way cheaper to fix
