The Volvo V70 is a mid-size five-door estate car / station wagon manufactured by Volvo Cars since 1996. It is closely related to the S70, S60 and S80 saloons, as well as the four-wheel drive Cross Country (XC) and XC70.

Since its inception, the V70 has evolved through three generations—notably, the second generation was designed by Peter Horbury.

Over 80% of V70s are sold in Europe, one third of this in Sweden, which is where the company is from. The Volvo V70 has been the best selling car in Sweden for many years.
