Basic information and history

The Volvo XC70 of model year 2003 belongs to the second generation of Volvo's raised estate car, built on the P2 platform and closely related to the V70 of the same generation. The model was originally launched as the V70 XC but, from this model year onward, received its own name XC70, as Volvo established the XC family alongside the XC90. The car combines increased ground clearance, heavy-duty bumpers and plastic-clad wheel arches with the practical qualities of the classic estate body. Under the bonnet sits Volvo's five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbo engine, with power distributed to all four wheels via an electronically controlled Haldex system. The XC70 became a significant success in the North American market, where the model appealed to buyers who wanted four-wheel drive and load capacity without having to choose a traditional SUV.

This XC70 has been imported from the USA and is therefore not originally sold in Sweden. The odometer reading is stated to be 219,500 kilometres, which the seller, however, cannot guarantee. The car has had a total of four owners. There is no deductible VAT and the vehicle is free from loans. The seller describes the car as a unique rig and states that an accompanying trailer is included.
