The 2016 Volvo XC70 Wagon is a midsize wagon offered in 6 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $37,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi Allroad wagon, the BMW 3 Series 328i xDrive Wagon, and the Ford Flex wagon which has the lowest base price tag among the bunch and comes with a standard seating capacity of 7 as opposed to 5 given on any other wagon in the competition. Between 6 trims, the XC70 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 capable of making 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

If more power is required, there is also a 250 horsepower-making 2.5L Turbo Inline-5 engine. The former engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission whereas the latter is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The XC70 reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 7.7 seconds with the 2.5L Turbo Inline-5 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the XC70 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 22 and 26 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the XC70 comes in really pull you towards itself.
