The 2001 Volvo S60, V70 and XC70 were the second-generation of this Swedish company's front-drive, mid-size platform. That year's redesign saw the cars adopt a look reminiscent of the venerable and tank-like 240 series, which had been replaced in the early 1990s by the 850. For the record, while the V70 is classified as a wagon and the XC70 as a crossover, both - as well as the S60 sedan - shared the same underpinnings. This week's review, however, will concentrate on the station wagon-based models, the V70 and XC70.
Engines were largely carried over into 2001 from the previous generation cars, those being all five-cylinder engines, with and without turbocharging. In the V70, the base engine was a 2.4-litre fiver (168 hp in the V70 2.4); a light-pressure turbo version of this motor made 197 hp in the 2.4T model; and the V70 T5 got a 2.3-litre turbo motor good for 247 horsepower. Base and T5 versions got a five-speed manual as the base transmission, while the 2.4T came exclusively with a five-speed automatic; the auto was available in the other two models as well.
The V70 XC AWD got just one powertrain option, that being the turbocharged 2.4-litre engine and a five-speed automatic. In 2001, the V70 got an all-wheel drive option that further blurred the lines between it and the XC70. In 2003, these models got a new 208-horsepower, turbocharged 2.5-litre engine not shared by any other.
In 2003, a 208-hp, 2.5-litre, turbocharged engine arrived, but it was used exclusively in all-wheel drive versions of the V70 and in what was now known as the XC70 Cross Country. With such a wide variety of motors, drivetrains and body styles, fuel consumption figures were all over the place. Here's an overview: city consumption ranges from 11 L/100 km to 13.5 L/100 km, while highway consumption starts as low as 7.5 L/100 km and stretches up to almost 9 L/100 km. Like most cars however, you'd be dreaming if you think you could match these figures in real-world driving, particularly in all-wheel drive versions. Don't expect to do much better than 14 L/100 km in the city and 10 or 11 L/100 km on the highway, unless you're really good about watching your speed.
