Default Volvo XC70 my12 updates

Hi if anyone gets any info on the new XC70 for 2012 could you post it on here please.

I've seen the interior photo of the Ocean Race with the new pod on top of the dash and was informed by the dealer today that it's also getting the 215bhp D5 engine, so will it have start stop and lower co2 emission as well?

Cheers

Brian

Brian,

Currently there is no official news on MY2012, we are guessing that the D5 engine changes along with XC60/V60/S60 to 215hp, reduced C02's and stop/start on the manuals.

The new Volvo Infotainment system heads in to V70/XC70 (same system that sits in S60/V60 and now XC60) - this has been confirmed but we have seen no pictures (other than the side shot of the Ocean Race) to see exactly how it will sit!

As soon as the info heads through I will be sure to update you.

Carll

Wow the price of the V70 has skyrocketed in Norway, a D3 V70 wagon is now the same price as a 520D touring, the D5 has gone up to a crazy level, I don't know what there game is but I sure as hell won't be replacing my wifes with another one, if I'm going to have to pay BMW money for a Volvo I might as well buy a BMW.

I've seen some pics of the interior of the 2012, looks greatly improved. Still there is no getting away from the fact that it feels like an old car.

The graphics / letters on the screen look a bit like the Mercedes C Class one. I like the fact my screen comes up from the dash but I guess all the other brands have a screen built in to the dash these days...

We should have full information next week including production times and full spec details.

I will keep you all updated!

One of my favourite parts of the S80 was the dash design, which reminded me of some older cars. What I didn't like was the silly push button key insert servo gizmo thing hanging over the air-vents, and also the parking brake button.

Found some more pics. Well, it's not my cup of tea, but at least they're trying. That lump/screen in the middle looks a bit funny though.



The fit doesn't look perfect in this picture:




I guess soon we won't be able to see out of the windscreen at all!

Oh well we took the plunge today and ordered a XC70 D5 SE my12 in Twilight Bronze with the brown leather interior and will hopefully see it before the end of June.

Default MY2012 or new MY2011

On some markets (e.g. in Poland) V70/XC70 is already offered with D5 215 hp engine and the new dashboard - or at least this is what configurator says. Still it is called MY2011.
