VOLVOV70 2004 - 2007

　　The refreshed version of the V70 brings lots of subtle changes. The most noticeable changes brought to the exterior design are the grille and the bumpers. The car has new 17-inch alloys, clear rear lamp lenses and the metallic paints got new brighter shades. The interior design was slightly redefined, the build quality being higher than before. The car got new seats, the center console has a cleaner look and the steering wheel modified.

　　The load area is huge and easy to access, it was equipped with a waste bag holder, grocery hooks and bottle pockets to avoid the small bags to roll. The 5-cylinder engine was refreshed, adding 10 bh and its capacity increased by 100 cc, from the previous 2.3-liter to 2.4-liter, developing up to 260 hp. The car was electronically limited to a top speed of 155 mph.

　　An optional feature can be added to boost performance, the Four-C active chassis, which offers two suspension settings: Comfort and Sport. As a standard feature, the V70 offers a new system called Blind Spot Information System, which automatically detects another vehicle travelling alongside you, but not yet visible. This feature increases safety while switching lanes. The car was beautifully finished and was one of the most comfortable vehicles in its segment at that time.
