The Volvo 850 was such a success that it was outwardly only carefully changed end of the yearly 1996 in the context of renaming and the Facelifts to the V70. The sharp-edged radiator and the headlights were somewhat rounded off and adapted to the style of the C70. From the 850er the V70 of the first generation differs in addition by the painted impact borders and door handles, newly arranged aprons, chromium-plated exhaust pipes, as well as white turn signal glasses in the back. Also the cockpit was arranged new in somewhat less sharp-edged form. Altogether it gave over 1800 changes, which brought the model on the conditions to the technology. With the engines there was no substantial V70 XC was a all-wheel-driven variant, which was addressed with roughly screened radiator grille and high-put chassis to drivers with Offroad ambitions.

The tail of the sedan, which was called from now on S70 became opposite that 850 strongly changed, but remained always the model nevertheless in the shade of the combination. The V70 could tie 850 to the success, even if it did not mean large technical progress.

Second generation (since 2000)

In the year 2000 the current generation of the V70 (P26) came on the market; the sedan is called S60. This model developed - against different statements - still before the direction of Ford-salient Design detail was the "shoulders", which developed as with the S80 by a deep Sicke underneath the windows. This "Gag" was regarded partly than unfunktionelles, and thus for Volvo atypical, characteristic, yet the V70 is accepted also of the "fans" as genuine Volvo. The series "240" had this Design element already in the middle of the 60's.

A Facelift 2004 brought only small changes. The front presents itself with the extended nose of the V70R and the new equipment lines (Kinetic, Momentum, Summum) shows outside depending upon version more lacquer and chrome. With the new to individualize high-quality leather (Sovereign) and the possibility the vehicle with the Volvo Inscription program tries Volvo expectations of the customers risen clearly to correspond.

Beside aforementioned equipment lines also a particularly sporty variant "R" is available ("R" stands thereby for "refined", thus "refined", "revises"). It has an easily revised front with lower radiator grille and other fog headlights, in silver set in Bi-xenon headlight, five-spoke rims with "R" - emblem, two straight final pipes, Brembo brakes, the active FourC chassis with three attitude possibilities and Haldex all-wheel drive. In the Interieur R with king-blue instruments shows up, has partially with genuine leather covered armatures, special leather and color variants and a sport steering wheel. The 2,5l row five-cylinder is brought by means of high pressure turbochargers, two intercoolers and variable valve gear on 300 HP.

The V70 XC was replaced from the XC70, a high-put V70 of second generation, which with large plastic aprons and all-wheel drive family and were to unite. Direct competitor is the AUDI Allroad, which is based on the AUDI A6 Avant.
