Huge boot, high level of standard kit, extra ability, good tow car.
No low-range gearbox, high centre of gravity affects driving dynamics.
Although a proper off-roader will ultimately be more capable on the rough stuff, the XC70 will go a little further, but just not far enough.
The XC70 is a desirable used buy, but most will be sold through Volvo dealers for the time being so don't expect any bargains.
