The 2008 Volvo V70 is a new addition to the manufacturer’s lineup and is advertised as one of the most versatile vehicles on the road. Taking a look at the body shape and style, it’s easy to see that this is definitely a unique car. Once all of the features are examined, however, one discovers that there’s a lot more adjectives, besides “unique”, that can describe the car.

For example, the ‘08 V70 is extremely safe. While the Active Bi-Xenon headlights, front fog lights, Driver Alert Control and Lane Departure Warning are options that will cost consumers a bit extra to add on, there are a ton of other excellent safety features that come standard. Rear fog lights with Auto-Off, emergency brake lights (EBL), side marker lights, SCTC anti-skid system and the Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS) are all included in the $32,465 base price.

The features listed above were all designed with preventative safety in mind, but the ’08 V70 also has a ton of protective safety benefits as well. The Scandinavian design of the car does more than just look sporty, it protects all of the passengers inside the cabin. From the reinforced passenger compartment to the energy absorbing frontal structure, in the unlikely event of a collision, the odds are those inside will be fine.

The security offered by the 2008 Volvo V70 is also superior. The side glass is tempered, the central locking system is remote controlled and the locks are protected from theft. The warranty that comes standard with the vehicle lasts for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Additionally, drivers can rely on Volvo’s On Call Roadside Assistance for four years, ensuring that they’re never alone and stranded if a tire goes flat or a gas tank runs empty.
