Used Volvo XC70 4x4 2000 - 2007 review

Compared with a standard Volvo V70 estate, the XC70 is considerably more expensive. However, it strikes the middle ground between its two most obvious rivals – cheaper than the Audi Allroad but dearer than the Subaru Legacy Outback.

The diesel XC70 is by far the most fuel-efficient version, but both petrol and diesel models are more frugal than the equivalent Audi. Overall, in fact, the XC70 is cheaper to own than the Allroad: the Volvo has lower insurance groups and lower maintenance costs.
