Wilvo XC70 test drive since 2007

Test drive Volvo XC70: Power of Thought

238-horsepower 3.2-liter engine disperses a heavy station wagon to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds. A six -speed automatic transmission smoothly and timely switches the steps, preventing the motor with the motor to unwind to maximum revolutions.

After the next working day, tired, but with a good mood I am going out of town. Different thoughts revolve in my head, but more and more about the upcoming delicious portion of barbecue, fresh air and good company. A favorite disk plays in the columns, a freshly cooled chest of drawers lies behind in a huge box, which will have to be assembled exactly after barbecue. And everything seems to be nothing, but
I caught myself thinking that I was too calm tonight, all the muscles are relaxed, and the sensory organs are in a half -out state, as if gaining strength before a stormy weekend. This calm is all the more strange that on the roads a typical evening Friday chaos, when the whole capital from small to great by hook and by crook tries to break out of the Moscow Ring Road.
Maybe I'm calm because when interference in the dead zone appears, my car winks on me with a signal on the mirror, which is better to postpone with rebuilding? Or maybe because when rebuilt without a turn signal, a pleasant ear is heard in the cabin and not at all a straining signal: they say, I'm sorry that I distract, but the turn signal should be turned on.
And here is an excellent sound insulation, which converts to the ears of passengers only a noble rumbling of a 3.2-liter in-line six with a capacity of 238 forces, and a cool Premium Sound audio system with a capacity of 650 watts with 12 Dynaudio speakers, which will not leave indifferent even a sophisticated music lover. For those who have not yet guessed what kind of car we are talking about, I will explain this Volvo, or rather, the station wagon of increased cross -country ability of the Volvo XC70.
The light leather salon hospitably calls in the arms of comfortable front seats with a bunch of electrical regulations and memory, which, however, would not hurt to strengthen side support. The steering wheel, trimmed with pleasant velvet skin, in the parking lot like a feather. With increasing speed, the reaction is aggravated, but even when exposing the highest level of sensitivity in the menu, the void remains. With such settings, I want to swim over the road, abstracting from the world outside the window, and not to tumble into turns at maximum speed, food with tires.
So slowly and imperceptibly, I passed the already disgusting cork on the Moscow Ring Road, but only this time 40 minutes, lost in traffic, turned in a few moments. How much does Volvo inner world relax! Having left on the highway, I turn on the active cruise control, I choose the given speed, and then the XC70 will do everything myself. If it is necessary to brake, and how the cars moved will begin to accelerate.
In addition, there is also navigation, the management of which occurs either from a special joystick on the steering wheel or from the remote control. Information is displayed on a retractable information display, which still displays the picture transmitted from the rear view camera. Although, in my opinion, the Volvo navigation system is still very damp. A pleasant female voice kept trying to deploy us through two solid ones, urged to drive under the brick and even teleport through the wall. Therefore, I would recommend 103 thousand rubles on other options, especially since their list for XC70 is more than impressive. In this regard, Volvo can be compared only with intercontinental liner.
 
The trunk Volvo XC70 is a separate story. As much as 575 liters with a raised back sofa! The back door is equipped with an electric drive. In the floor of the trunk, several additional compartments lurked, the floor cover is equipped with a shock absorber, holding it in a raised position. The rear seats are laid out in a proportion of 20/40/20, forming an even floor, while the beneficial space increases to 1600 liters.
The suspension was constructed with a clear eye on comfort. The smoothness of the course is just excellent! All small road joints and pits dissolve in the bowels of the suspension, not having time to jump to the body and dissolve relaxed passengers. A transverse swing is manifested at speed, and the rolls in corners sometimes reach frightening sizes. But we are not in a hurry, and therefore we go around the turns in a sedimental, the speed is not exceeded. In addition, the value of rolls can be reduced by the optional Four-C system worth 64,600 rubles, which allows you to change the rigidity of shock absorbers. In Sport mode, the car becomes more assembled, and vibrations from irregularities begin to penetrate into the salon.
 
238-horsepower 3.2-liter engine disperses a heavy station wagon to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds. A six -speed automatic transmission smoothly and timely switches the steps, preventing the motor with the motor to unwind to maximum revolutions. With such luggage, the Volvo XC70 can go in sports dynamically and briskly. In a calm mode, the traffic section of the test XC70 ate about 17 liters per 100 km of run. And if you push, this figure will easily exceed 20 liters, so I prefer a five -cylinder diesel diesel engine with direct injection and a 185 hp turbine changed by a turbine. By the way, with such a Volvo engine it is lighter than 50 kg, and there is nothing to say about fuel consumption.
Despite the fact that the Volvo XC70 is no longer new, this station wagon still remains a good offer in his segment. Skoda Octavia Scout and Subaru Outback is clearly simpler, and Audi Allroad is an order of magnitude more expensive. In addition, such an option as on XC70 does not even have many representative sedans, not to mention the rest. Plus, the unsurpassed level of security, which the Scandinavian cars are traditionally famous for.
 
Sitting in Volvo, and it doesn’t matter in which you begin to think differently and perceive the world around him, as well as a tourist entering another country, is gradually imbued with local spirit and traditions. Honestly, I like this condition, but only one day a week, when I, tired after a working week, go along a suburban highway, my favorite disk plays in the columns, and different thoughts are spinning in my head
