While some say wagons are a
dying breed, having largely been
ditched in the U.S. in favor o f SUVs
and crossovers, it’s unfortunate be

compelling reasons to consider one.
This Volvo offers acomfortable ride,
upscale interior, a number of safety
features and a large cargo area.
Volvo’s hallmark has been and
remains safety, and the V70 is avail
able with advanced safety features
like Collision Warning with Brake
Support. This system uses a light
and sound to warn the driver if it
senses a collision may occur with a
car in front of it; the system brakes
the car if the driver doesn't heed the
alert.

options include a rear-seat enter

ra re to see se a tb a c k -m o u n te d
screens even on luxury vehicles,
and their availability on the V70
shows that V olvo is aim ing at the

A nother notable—if g im m ic k y -
tech highlight on the V 70 is the
Personal C arC om m unicator which
uses two-way radio technology and
a heartbeat detector to notify the
driver if there is anyone in the car
while the alarm is activated. W hat I
found more useful is the Keyless
Drive system , which lets drivers
unlock the car and start the engine
without rem oving the key fob from
their pockets.
The V70 is a com fortable and
capable long-haul cruiser that takes
V olvo’s traditional safety focus,
enhances it with some advanced
technology, and wraps it in a sty l
ish design inside and out. The re
sult is a stylish, well balanced car
that will appeal to tech-savvy and
safety minded drivers. The 2(X)8
Volvo V70 is a sm art choice in fam
