Nothing new, same old boring design.

its not that bad. new volvo is looking better and better. Much better than old V70.

Sorry, but to me it looks boring and rather facelift than a completely new car...

its okay..nothing more..

well i guess 70% of all swedish drivers..are in for a change..
old V70 out New In..

its sad.. given that the car is expensive.. and they could get something more fun
but NO sir.. they stand in line for it.. like goats..haha

updated with new photos

It looks not bad... but like Tyc says, a little boring.

I'm expecting to see a gazillion of these once it goes on sale here...
Overall, I don't think it looks too bad but most non-car-literate people won't probably even notice it's a new model. The spy pics had me expecting for something uglier.

I too can't really get excited about volvo designs lately. They all look too simlair both inside and out. I've owned two Volvos and like the brand. My first one was a volvo 164 which was pre-boxy volvos and beautiful design if you ask me, and then I still own a 240 which is a good car too.

I don't like the rear very much of this wagon though, the lights look weird.

Here is a pic of the 164.

A new 3.2 liters turbocharge engine with 285hp is coming. Hopefully we'll see a V70 V8 in the future.

I like it!

Volvo have made a huge step forward when it comes to design. I also like the interior. Just one bad thing with it.... the back, don't like it at all, why VOLVO?

/Audi

It's a refreshing design. Just like the S80, it is attractive in a Volvo sort of way, just like how a VW would be appealing to me. Not too flashy and yet it conveys a sense of modernity and revitalisation. I say, good job Volvo!

Looks very nice, and subduded. Not exactly something i would go buy right now but im sure its a wonderful car.

wow, very nice one!
great improvement for volvo! it has a very nice sport look that volvo lucked and the interior is also nice, even though its almost identical to the S80 one!

Don't call me crazy, but i like it

Well it looks like a facelift not a new car. I guess it's the same sausage different lenghts philosophy again... From a distance you propably won't see the difference between this and the V50. Any idea if this is now more a wagon version of S80 rather than S60?


It's the same also for XC90 (at least in Finland)...

It's a very nice looking design but I don't see them attracting new customers with this design though and that is where their problem is.

Too be honest I prefer and love the old one.

This looks great.

It looks sporty, especially the new front looks good to me...

upon my second look i have changed my opinion of this car drastically. I think that it looks fantastic and even a little sporty as others have pointed out. No doubt will this car sell great
