Volvo XC70 DRIVe (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 27 August 2009 11:07

On looks alone, this Volvo XC70 may seem like old news, yet it puts a whole new twist on the urban off-roader theme. Why? Because, despite the jacked-up stance, it’s actually front-wheel drive. What’s happened to the 4x4 version? Don’t panic, it’s still on sale. The front-wheel drive XC70 has been introduced along with a front-drive XC60, both cars being ...

Volvo XC60 2.4 D DRIVe (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 20 August 2009 10:50

The two-wheel drive SUV might sound like an oxymoron, but it’s a trend that’s catching on – BMW’s X1 will be available with rear- and four-wheel drive drivetrains, and the previously all-wheel drive-only XC60 can now be had in front-wheel drive too. That’s the car we’re driving, in 2.4D DrivE SE Lux spec. And the point of the front-wheel drive ...

Volvo XC60 D5 long-term test CAR review

the CAR road test team, 05 May 2009 15:00

Long-term update – 5 May 2009 After I came back from university, fully educated but with little more than beans in my wallet, I spent several months sleeping in the garret at the top of my parents’ house. It was so small, there wasn’t enough room to swing a hamster around it. It had a bed (single), hi-fi (compact) and ...

Volvo XC90 D5 R- Design Geartronic (2008) CAR review

2.5

Peter Burgess, 18 August 2008 17:27

My word, how excited we all were back in 2002 when Volvo launched its first SUV, the XC90. The initial production sold out almost on the spot, or so the message was from Volvo. Certainly there were premiums paid over and above the list price by buyers desperate to get into a Volvo XC90. Why? Simply it was a seven-seat ...

Volvo S80 2.0 SE (2008) CAR review

Peter Burgess, 18 August 2008 13:40

The Volvo S80. There’s a name to conjure with, to roll around your tongue and to savour the depths like a complex Bordeaux. Who are we kidding? The S80 is one of that small clique of large cars that aspire to the premium level but always fall someway short of attaining the necessary desirability. But does that mean the Volvo ...

Volvo XC60 concept (2007) CAR review

3.5

James Foxall, 09 October 2007 09:27

Volvo already has a couple of off-roaders. What does it need another one for? The Swedes claim that people who want to do off-roady things like driving down dirt tracks and towing horseboxes will go for its XC70 and XC90 models. The XC60 is being aimed at design-conscious townies who want an on-road vehicle with a tiny bit of off-road ...

Volvo V70 D5 (2007) CAR review

Peter Burgess, 25 June 2007 01:52

Another Volvo Estate. Didn’t the Swedes invent this sector of the market? Listen to Volvo and you’d believe that its estate car stands alongside Coca Cola and Levi jeans as one of the world’s leading brand icons. The estate car might not have been invented by Volvo, but it’s pretty hard to disassociate them. The reality is that Volvo brought ...

Volvo XC90 SE Sport 3.2 (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 24 November 2006 09:30

Looks like Volvo’s succumbed and added some attitude to the XC90 That’s right, this new pumped up SE Sport is clearly aimed at people who might have found the XC90 a bit too reserved and instead walked right into their local Audi or BMW dealer for a Sport-trim X5 or S-Line Q7. It’s part of a facelifted XC90 range, which ...

Volvo C30 D5 (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 20 November 2006 08:30

It’s been T5 this and T5 that, I’m pleased to see you’re finally going to tell me about the C30 that I can afford to fuel. We aim to please. Yes, the blown five-cylinder T5 sounds great and certainly delivers the goods (6.2sec 0-62mph) but it’s fond of a drink whatever Volvo’s official figures say. To be honest though, if ...

Volvo XC30 concept CAR (2006) review

3.5

Jed Maxwell, 30 October 2006 12:48

What, another new small Volvo? Haven’t those Swedes only just revealed the ‘regular’ C30? Yes they have but don’t think they’re going to stick to the range they’ve launched the car with. This model was commissioned by Volvo North America so they can see what a crossover version might look like. They’ve called it the XC30 in tribute to the ...
