While we were off traveling in Spain the past two days, others were busy letting off pics and info on the 2009 Volvo V70. Since we’ve lost track to as who let the doggy-van out, we’ll give credits to our pals over at Autoblog.it since we first got a glimpse of the car there. Based on the S80 platform, the new Swedish Wagon has grown up compared to the current model as it’s 4.850 mm long (+143 mm) and 1.860 mm wide (+60mm). According to the initial facts, that led to an increase of 30 mm in width for the front passengers and 48 mm in leg room for the rear while boot capacity has grown to 540 liters (+55 liters). -Continued: Click “Read More…” below and check out the image gallery While there’s no official press release out yet, it's speculated that the new V70 will receive the same engine line-up as the S80. That means we should expect two 5cylinder, 2.4-litre diesel motors producing 163 & 185Hp and two petrol engines, the 2.5 Turbo (5cylinder) with 200Hp and the 238Hp 3.2 (6cylinder). While it’s a long shot, don’t be surprised if Volvo also offers the new V70 with its new 300Hp 4.4 V8. Via: Autoblog.it
