Volvo XC70

Safety on the all-wheel-drive Volvo XC70 has been enhanced by the new Teknik package.

This added safety technology is available with both the refined new 158kW twin-turbo diesel engine and the powerful 179kW 3.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engine.

The new Teknik pack adds Volvo Navigation System (VNS), Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Active Bending Lights (ABL) and power passenger seat, all bringing higher-still levels of convenience and driving safety.

These features add to Volvo’s Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), dual-stage driver and passenger airbags, inflatable side curtain airbags and Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) in the front seats.

Other safety features of the XC70 include the next-generation City Safety. City safety is basically aimed to help cars avoid collisions with other cars and pedestrians.

Standard equipment includes a High-Performance multimedia audio system with 7-inch colour screen and reversing camera. This adds to a comprehensive standard equipment list that includes HDC Hill Descent Control, full-leather trim, Volvo’s Private Locking system and Valder 17-inch light alloy wheels.

New LED mood lighting in the front floor area and behind the unique floating centre console introduce a warm interior ambience and there are new LED indicators in the door mirrors to better warn approaching drivers when making a turn, while also giving a more contemporary look.

For outstanding all-weather security, the XC70 continues to drive all four wheels through Volvo’s six-speed adaptive Geartronic automatic transmission.

The standard XC70 3.2 litre begins at $62,450 and $67,450 for the 3.2 Teknik. The XC70 D5 is priced at $63,450 with the XC70 D5 Teknik priced at $68,450.
