Volvo S70


The Volvo S70 sedan and Volvo V70 wagon were introduced to the U.S. for the 1998 model year, and represented mainly new styling and revised suspensions from the 1993 through 1997 Volvo 850.

The five body styles were: Base, SE, GL, GLT and T5. The exterior has new headlamps and a reshaped hood as well as a front end that is more rounded. The new interior included dual front and side airbags.

The base engine was 2.4 liter dual overhead cam 5 cylinder engine that produced 165 horsepower. The GLT had a turbocharged version of that engine that increased the power to 190 horsepower. The T5 had a more highly tuned 2.3 liter turbocharged engine with an ouput of 236hp. The Base and T5 models had an optional 5 speed manual transmission, the GL and GLT were available with only an automatic transmission. An option on the S70 was the TRACS traction control system that would apply the front brakes to limit wheel slippage. All models had 4 wheel antilock disc brakes. These were also among the first cars in the United States to offer side airbags, an option that has extended to nearly all models today. All Wheel Drive was offered for the V70 wagon.
