2000 September, right: The revised Volvo (V70) XC (cross country) remains 4wd.sofcom.com --> on the "car" side of even the "cross- over" four wheel drive brigade.

There are two levels of trim - the Volvo Cross Country and the premium Volvo Cross Country SE. The former has mere steel wheels, cloth seats and lacks the cross-bars for the roof rails. The latter gets "leather seats, heated front seats, active carbon cabin air filter, and a nine-speaker Dolby sound system with four-disc in-dash player."

The four wheel drive system is effected by a bevel gear on the front drive plus a viscous coupling (on the nose of the rear diff') which take drive from the front (the V70 is front wheel drive) to the rear.

XC

The (V70) XC inherits 4wd.sofcom.com --> the base V70's revisions: "the front track has been increased by 90mm and the rear by 57mm."

Volvo's brand of traction control, TRACS, automatically brakes a spinning wheel, giving most of the effect of a diff' lock for on-road use at least. Anti-lock brakes and electronic brake distribution are also fitted.

Passive safety features include whiplash protection system (WHIPS), side impact protection system (SIPS), Inflatable Curtain (IC - side head airbag), and dual-stage airbag deployment.

The 2.4-litre low-pressure turbocharged engine produces 147 of power at 6000 and 285 of torque from 1800 to 5000. Gearbox choices are between a five-speed manual and a five-speed automatic with Geartronic manual-shift.
