Spy Shots: 2008 Volvo XC70

Enlarge Photo

Scores of images of Volvo’s upcoming XC70 have been taken during the cars testing phase outside Volvo’s factory in Sweden over the past several months. These latest images show the final version captured as the completed car came off the actual production line.

Unlike the current model, the new XC70 and its softer V70 cousin will be based on the more expensive Volvo S80 instead of the S60. The drivetrain has been lifted directly out of the larger S80 sedan, so expect the same turbo units as well as a 315hp V8 combined with AWD in a range topping model. Inside, the car shares much of the S80's interior as well including instrument panel, door sides and the same three level specifications.

The XC70 is likely to be officially revealed at this year’s New York Auto Show with sales to start towards the end of the year. Follow the jump for more images over at Caradisiac.

Great looking car! this will be another hit in the market. The silver paint is fantastic...if they can do one in matt gold, i'd love one....times are truly changing and volvo has possibly found the guts to actually creates vehicles for the sporty one, and offered the market with Volvo catalytic converter among many others.
