Volvo XC70

What it says about you

Opinion

A V70 on stilts, which invented a category Subaru later took over. You were there first.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

12 model years on record, 191 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2016 2 recalls 7 complaints
  2. 2015 1 recall 6 complaints
  3. 2014 2 recalls 2 complaints
  4. 2013 2 recalls 8 complaints
  5. 2012 2 recalls 14 complaints
  6. 2011 3 recalls 15 complaints
  7. 2010 5 recalls 15 complaints
  8. 2009 5 recalls 15 complaints
  9. 2008 8 recalls 39 complaints
  10. 2007 2 recalls 25 complaints
  11. 2006 3 recalls 18 complaints
  12. 2005 3 recalls 27 complaints
