2006 Volvo XC70 AWD – Rugged Elegance in a Wagon

The 2006 Volvo XC70 AWD combines the practicality of a wagon with elevated capability and Volvo’s hallmark emphasis on safety. Underneath its durable exterior, it offers features and benefits suited for families, daily commuting, and adventurous weekend drives.

• The XC70 is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine that produces about 208 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission (with manual shift option).

• Its all-wheel drive system is engineered to send power dynamically, often sending most drive to the front wheels for efficiency but ready to shift torque to the rear when conditions demand.

• Ground clearance is higher than a typical wagon (around 8.2 inches), and body cladding plus protective lower trim lend it a rugged, go-anywhere visual and functional sensibility.

• The suspension tuning prioritizes comfort, absorbing road imperfections and delivering a composed, quiet highway ride.

• Inside, driver and front passenger seats are supportive for long drives, with available leather trim and strong ergonomics.

• The XC70 seats five in standard form, with an optional third row for children. Cargo flexibility is excellent: with rear seats folded, it offers over 70 cubic feet of space.

• Standard safety features include front, side, and curtain airbags; whiplash protection seating; and antilock brakes. Stability control and traction systems enhance confidence in slippery conditions.

• Its build quality is solid and quiet, helping isolate occupants from wind and road noise and promoting a refined cabin ambiance.

• The blend of wagon practicality, AWD capability, and Volvo’s safety legacy makes the 2006 XC70 a versatile and sensible choice for those who want more usability without sacrificing ride manners.
