Volvo V70 XC, 1998, 1999
Volvo's answer to Subaru's
Forester
and other car-based vehicles with some sort of drive
to all wheels, the Volvo V70 XC, or cross-country, is derived from the
V70
AWD station wagon with extra traction devices:
an automatic differential lock on the rear axle
and TRACS electronic traction control on the front axle.
Yes, the wheels are 16" ones but the super low-profile tyres (55%)
give an overall diameter of 25" so this is not an offroader.
