The 2010 Volvo V70 wagon and its off-road sibling, the XC70 crossover, stand out for their roomy interior, ride and comfort. Rivals of the V70 include the BMW 5-series and Mercedes Benz E-Series. The interior of these vehicles is ultra-contemporary, accented by Volvo's trademark 'floating' center stack instrument panel and unique slim, upright center console. Volvo's front seats are among the most ample and well-bolstered in the segment. Both vehicles seat five, while the back seat is split 40/20/40 and sections fold forward for expanded cargo space. The cargo area has a sliding load floor and under-floor storage compartment. On the outside, these vehicles feature a soft, aerodynamic look in front, with the distinctive Volvo "egg crate" grille, yet they display a roofline that doesn't significantly compromise cargo space. MSRP for the V70 starts at $33,550. Mileage is estimated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.
