Unveiled by Volvo at the SEMA Show, the XC70 AT (All Terrain) Concept is a tuned version of the XC70 series model inspired by the legendary off-road Baja race.

Built in conjunction with Volvo aftermarket specialists, 'ipd', the XC70 All Terrain (AT) has been extensively modified to handle almost anything terrain.

It features the 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder turbo engine that is normally found in the high performance V70 R. Thanks to the adoption of a Garrett GT2835R turbocharger and a software upgrade it delivers 408 HP at 6,200 rpm, comparing the 300 HP of the original unit.

Volvo XC70 All Terrain ConceptThe XC70 AT Concept is also equipped with an Aquamist in-cylinder intercooling system, an extra large top-mounted intercooler, and low restriction 3-inch stainless steel exhaust pipes.

Producing an amazing 398 lb-ft of torque at a low 4,000 rpm, the XC70 AT uses the same 6-speed automatic transmission that is standard in the XC90 V8 (available in USA) and the 2006 V70 R.

The torque is distributed to four wheels by Volvo’s fully automatic all-wheel-drive system by Haldex with Instant Traction.

Volvo XC70 All Terrain ConceptThe suspensions feature the latest evolution of Volvo's Four-C active chassis, with a custom fully independent air ride suspension offering 4-inches of adjustability via dash-mounted buttons. Add in a 4-inch lift kit and the XC70 AT can ride up to 8 inches higher than the standard production Volvo XC70. To keep body roll in check, 25 mm front and 28 mm rear anti-roll bars have been fitted.

The exterior body features a brilliant orange Saffron and Titanium paint scheme that pays homage to the stunning Baja, Mexico sunsets. Ipd custom designed and fabricated the front bumper (to conceal the 10,000-lb Warn winch), side cladding, fender flares and the top-mounted rack with the fully integrated high-output back-up lights and the light bar featuring sunlight-bright PIAA 520 off-road lamps.
