Volvo V70 (07 on) - Review

The entry-level model is the SE which comes well equipped with cruise control, an electric driver's seat, automatic wipers, self-levelling headlights, climate control, electrically adjustable, heated and folding door mirrors, leather steering wheel and gear lever, remote control central locking plus an alarm and immobiliser. SE Sport models add the adaptive damping 4-C system, a rear spoiler, heated front seats and a speed dependant power steering system. This trim was replaced by the R Design SE which adds a sporty bodykit, 18-inch alloys, lowered sports suspension, leather faced upholstery, clue instrument dials and aluminium pedals. SE Lux models do without some of the sport-oriented features of the SE Sport model but add the power tailgate, luxury floor mats and leather seats. The R-Design model, introduced in May 2008, features a specially tuned and lowered sports chassis, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, leather sports seats and aluminium interior detailing. The Ocean Race special edition (introduced in June 2008) come with unique Ocean Blue pearlescent or Electric Silver paintwork and get full leather upholstery with matt aluminium interior trim.
