Volvo introduces the new Drive range of Volvos. The company began production of the fuel efficient, low emission cars late last year after a successful introduction in the 2008 Paris Auto Show. C30 Drive
Volvo V70's fuel economy average of 43mpg a very credible, and if driven sensibly you get around 670 miles out of a full tank. This is good news for business users also as D5 emits 172g/km (25% Tax liability), which makes it cheaper to run as a company car than a Mercedes E-Class estate on an equal footing with the BMW 525d Touring.
Volvo V70 Drive also get better fuel consumption by using tires designed for low rolling resistance. They have an electric power steering pump provides the exact amount of assistance the driver needs, instead of too much power is unnecessarily draws energy from the powertrain.The V70 also have a covered grill and underbody lowered to decrease drag.
No car is the epitome of this philosophy better than the Volvo V70 estate. His predecessors were so ugly and boring to drive, they were called the Swedish criminal cases, while the Volvo V70 Drive all swoop, curves and studied elegance. The overall sense of intelligence, wrapped in the beautiful bodies that Volvo now wraps their cars are very appealing.
Volvo V70 and S80 driver versions are also equipped with an electric power steering pump which provides accurate servo assistance officer calls in an accurate and energy efficient manner. All DRIVe models have this power steering system.
The size of the Volvo V70 Drive makes the car very versatile for a number of families and a range of needs. This V70 is one of the most voluminous large estate cars on sale today, able to swallow a washing machine in full, without folding the rear seats down. So if you liked the idea of a big Volvo estate for cargo-related, so you will not be disappointed.
Used values are excellent in all versions, because the V70 is one of the best selling premium estate cars. Boosted by the six-speed automatic, Volvo V70 makes an exemplary drag car. On the test track it showed it would remain stable at speeds well over the limit on British roads, which is reassuring.
Moreover, the car had a higher degree of luxury, to strengthen its premium qualities. The "soft nose" front, including an egg box grille with chrome vertical bars, creating a sporty yet luxurious appearance.
But run even the more powerful versions are not intimidating, thanks to traction control, predictable handling, excellent grip (especially on the four wheel drive vehicles) and precise steering. As you would expect, has built a massive V70 power; V70 got five NCAP stars. Any more power would really need AWD. Need to let a person easily. Maximum torque of 295 pounds ft comes at just 1500RPM, peak power at 5600rpm. The transverse engine is mated to a six-speed automatic (no manual setting), and the Four-C, Haled-type four-wheel drive uses an electronically controlled clutch pack to distribute torque between the axles.
The engine now has lower compression, more efficient combustion and the latest generation of engine management software. What is more, the turbocharger has been optimized to deliver high torque from low revs. Owners of the old V70 will be impressed by the latest model is stiffer chassis and improved handling. What is more, Volvo performed well in our braking tests, stopping from 60 miles an hour at 36.4 feet - the pedal is the softest feet.
The car is second to none in safety, and the company has managed to add a few new safety innovations as well. Safety features include a wide range of airbags, traction control, electronic stability program for whiplash prevention system and the Volvo Side Impact Protection System. That’s complimented with a comprehensive standard equipment list also includes CD player, MP3 socket, air conditioning and cruise control. The side-curtain airbags now extend 2.4 inches lower down the door to better protect children. But wait, there's more: new dual-chamber front-seat-mounted side airbags, second-generation whiplash protection, blind-spot detection, and available adaptive cruise control with collision-warning that primes the braking system (brakes don’t apply as them at Mercedes Presage when a collision is deemed unavoidable). Volvo V70 is a very safe family car, but if the worst were to happen, there are anti-whiplash head restraints, side impact protection systems and multiple airbags included as standard throughout the area.
"Our goal is to offer cars with the lowest CO2 emissions ... Drive is the symbol of this process, and the cars are equipped with this sign are those which we have made the most progress.” Says Magnus Johnson
Volvo V70 Drive is wonderful to see the bears green Drive badge of fuel-efficiency and is a Volvo, it is one of the safest cars on the road today.
