Explore the 2013 Volvo XC70

Bought it New in December 2012.

Bought it New in December 2012. We have had very few problems over the 11 years we have owned it. Granted we only have 85,000 miles +/-, but I would love to get an updated 2024 version of this Volvo. If I had it to do again I would definitely buy it.

excellent warning system

Radar Collision Warning is excellent. The car in right hand lane making too wide turn. Has me not focused on car 100 feet ahead of me. It stopped hanging out of driveway. Collision warning prevented from getting into accident.

Most reliable and comfortable car I’ve ever owned.

Suburb quality and luxury. Spacious and fun to drive. Goes through snow like a hot knife through butter. Sad that Volvo stopped making the xc70. Their newer models can’t hold a candle to this gem.

My third Volvo. Best car for safety/reliability

Ride, comfort, safety, design, and utility describes what a motor car should be and this Volvo has it. Interior design gives luxury qualities and functionality. All instruments are easy to view and operate.

Understated elegance with utilitarian design

I like Volvos. I currently have a 2008 xc90 awd and the 2013 XC70 awd. The XC70 is mostly my wife’s car and she loves the handling and smooth acceleration and ride. We bought the 3.2L with the premier package and 54,000 miles. Very happy with the purchase and recommend Volvos with low mileage and complete maintenance records.

My second xc70 awd

Great car. I have owned and still own several volvos. We started with a 1990 740, then 1998 XC70, 2002 S60, 2006 S60, 2008 XC90 and now a 2013 XC70. They are safe and reliable with pleasing style.

Volvo XC 70

Fantastic car for someone who appreciates a variety of attributes. Solid as a tank but smooth as silk. Car like ride but capable off road. Not super fast but quick enough and super comfortable front seats makes this car capable of cruising across the country. Lots of cargo space with fold flat seats. High ground clearance and over 6' from the front seat backs to the tailgate makes it perfect for back country car camping.

Very safe, comfortable and stylish.

This is my fifth Volvo and I am a Volvo fan for life. They are unique, safe and comfortable. Since buying my first Volvo in 1976, I have had no major repair issues and only normal wear and tear items to deal with.
