All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction™ mates with the XC70’s 2.5-liter turbocharged engine for positive, instantaneous torque and optimum launch performance. The improved, computer-controlled Haldex all-wheel-drive system instantly delivers up to 50 percent more torque to the rear axle only when needed, such as during takeoff.
As a Volvo wagon, the XC70 is fitted with state-of-the-art safety features. Among them are standard Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) with side airbags and Inflatable Curtain (IC), Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS), seat belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners in all seating positions, dual-stage front airbags (SRS), Volvo’s safety cage construction and the ISO-FIX attachment for rearward-facing child safety seats. ABS with traction control, four-wheel-independent suspension and responsive rack and pinion steering are also standard.
