Overview

Competing in the midsize wagon, the 2014 Volvo XC70 Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Audi Allroad Wagon, the smaller BMW 3 Series 328i xDrive wagon, and the larger Ford Flex Wagon. Spread across 2 trims, the XC70 starts off at a base price of MSRP $34,500 and carries on to $40,950. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 3.2L inline 6 rated for 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the XC70 gives you a towing capacity of 3,300 pounds. An optional 3.0L turbocharged inline 6 engine is also offered, with an output of 300 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines. The XC70 reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.8 seconds with the turbocharged engine.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Volvo XC70 Wagon is a comfortable and spacious wagon offered in two trims. We recommend getting the stronger T6 trim that comes powered by the turbocharged engine under the hood and gets almost similar fuel economy numbers.
