3 out of 5 stars

For Solid construction; stylish interior; superb seats

Against Dull to drive; dated engines; choppy ride

Verdict Everything a Volvo estate should be, but rivals are better to drive

Go for… 2.0 D3 ES

Avoid… 2.0 R-Design

1. The wide range of petrol and diesel engines ensures there’s something for everyone, although it’s the diesel options that impress most
2. Our favourite is the 136bhp 2.0 D3 ES, which has plenty of grunt but returns decent fuel economy
3. Insurance costs are reasonable, with all but the T5 engine in R-Design trim sitting in insurance groups 20-29. Pick a sporty version, however, and you’re looking at group 33
4. A number of reported issues concern faults with safety equipment – in particular the seat belts and side-impact protection system
5. The indicator stalk on the V70 has a button marked ‘Read’. Pressing and holding it will display any faults that the car’s on board computer is aware of
