Overview
The 2013 Volvo XC70 Wagon is a midsize wagon offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $33,600. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi Allroad Wagon, the BMW 3 Series 328i Wagon, and we can also consider the larger Ford Flex Wagon. Between 2 trims, the Volvo XC70 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.2L inline-6 capable of making 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The XC70 reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.1 seconds with the 3.0L inline-6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the XC70 can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 21 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the XC70 comes in really pull you towards itself.
