Interior Design

The interior of the all-new V70 is an example of Scandinavian design: Every little detail has been designed with a focus on both clean form and functionality.

Comfort in the front seat features superb seats and ergonomically designed instruments – including an elegant, super-slim centre stack and a high quality audio system.

The integrated dual child booster cushions can be adjusted in two steps and the 40/20/40-split rear seat has integrated seat belts.

The lightweight design of the rear backrest and the simple folding mechanism are other examples of improved functionality for passengers.

The luggage compartment and all its options and accessories have been designed to meet demands on luxury and intelligent functionality.

“The idea is that the luggage compartment really should look as spacious and luxurious as it is,” says Jonathan Disley, who has designed the interior of the all-new V70.

Among the smart details in the luggage compartment is a storage space under the floor which is locked when the tailgate is shut.

A power tailgate is an option and among the range of accessories are a sliding load floor and a smart storage system with side rails and sliding load hooks that can be tailored to meet the owner’s individual needs.

“In what is the most complete estate car on the market, the luggage and other cargo should naturally ride as comfortably as the passengers do. That’s why every little detail in the luggage area and all the accessories have been specially designed,” says Jonathan Disley.

For the interior six upholsteries in three colours are avalilable. In addition to Sandstone Beige and Anthracite Black, there is a Cranberry Red highlight colour where the red detailing on the seats and door panels contrasts elegantly with the rest of the black trim.

“Inspiration for this warm red shade came from something that is just so typically Swedish – the red-painted cottages found everywhere throughout rural Sweden.

Using this colour as a starting point, we created a nuance that has just the right depth and width to be viable in an international perspective,” explains Boel Hermansson, head of colour and material design for the all-new V70.

Technical features

The new V70 uses a completely new vehicle architecture. The engine range includes two 2.4 liter turbocharged diesel units, a 2.5 liters 5 cylinders turbocharged gasoline engine delivering 200 hp and , for the first time, two 6-cylinder units: a 2.9 liters turbocharged (285 hp) coupled with all-wheel drive system, and a 3.2 liters (238 hp).

Suspension system adopts front spring-struts with lower link and anti-roll bar and rear individual Multi-link suspensions with anti-roll bar.

The braking system features 300–316 mm ventilated front disc and 302 mm rear discs (ventilated on some models); it is capable of stopping the car from 100 km/h to zero in just 38 meters.

New passive safety equipment includes children-specific dual built-in booster cushions that can be adjusted in two stages.
