Volvo XC70
Heiress of the now defunct V70, the XC70 shows more muscle and more refinement than its ancestor. The base version is equipped with a 3.2L inline-6 that produces 240 hp. The more athletic T6 comes with a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo that pumps 300 hp and 325 lbs.-ft. of torque. AWD and a 6-speed automatic transmission are included.
