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.

More im pressively, the V70's options include a rear-seat enter­ tainm ent system with tw o 7-inch headrest-m ounted displays. It is 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 higher end o f the market with its third-generation model. An auxil­ iary video input jack also allow s connection o f video gam es o r ex ­ ternal DVD players. 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.
