The Volvo V70 is a spacious, upper-middle-class estate car (E-segment) that became one of the best-selling vehicles in its category in its home market of Sweden. Introduced in 1996, the V70 was produced until 2016 across three generations. Its sedan counterpart was known as the Volvo S70, while the rugged, off-road-oriented version was marketed as the Volvo XC70.
