The 2011 Volvo XC70: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Volvo XC70 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2011 Volvo XC70, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the XC70
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 15 complaints with NHTSA, most often about latches/locks/linkages, power train and seat belts; have those parts checked. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.2L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.4 L/100 km rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.67 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
The XC70 in everyday use
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. Luggage space is 1,048 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Rent the XC70 for a week and see how it fits your life. Drive the XC70 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the XC70 answers the big questions.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.67 in fuel.

Rent it for a week before you buy
