2 out of 5 stars

We're yet to drive the V70 with this engine, so until we do, our favourite remains the D3 turbodiesel.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Volvo V70 estate is based on the S80 saloon’s platform and shares its interior with the luxury barge, too.

That means it’s got cave-like space for passengers and luggage, and the dash is well appointed, easy to use and pleasant to touch.

There’s a big range of engines to get your head around, but the diesels all suit the V70’s load-carrying remit just fine.

The range kicks off with ES spec, which should be all you need, because it comes with alloy wheels, climate control and loads of safety features as standard.

The V70 isn’t the cheapest estate around, but it feels every inch a premium car, and it undercuts German rivals like-for-like. A great load-lugger.
