Volvo V70 3rd Generation (P3)

2008–2016 · P3 · wagon

Third-generation V70 on the Volvo P3 platform. Larger, sleeker, less boxy than P2. 3.2L I6 / 3.0L T6 turbocharged I6 / 2.5L T5 turbo I5. Sold in US through 2010 model year, then discontinued in NA while continuing globally through 2016. XC70 (Cross Country variant) continued in the US through 2016.

Watch out: Inline-six engines are durable but service-intensive when something goes wrong (timing service, water pump, oil-cooler seals). Air suspension on top trims wears with age. P3 chassis is generally robust; rust on rear quarters and around tailgate seam on cars in salt-belt states.
