The T5 and R were the series high-performance models. In all markets more powerful versions received better or upgraded standard equipment. In the United States, the badging denoted the engine variant, and to some extent the equipment level, whereas in Europe engines and options could be chosen individually. Trim levels varied for each market as did equipment levels of the most basic trims. Standard equipment was improved significantly with remote central locking, heated and electrically adjustable mirrors, two front- and two side airbags, power brakes with ABS and power windows being standard on every car.
According to Volvo a total of 1800 changes were made. Most of the interior was redesigned, with new seats, door panels and dashboard. Among the many changes were a completely revised front end, fully painted bumpers and side trim and clear indicator lenses all around. Its overall design became more rounded doing away with the 850's square edges. The first generation V70 was an improved development on the basis of the Volvo 850 estate. Production of the V70 ended on 25 April 2016, the XC70 continued until. It was based on the P3 platform and marketed as the V70 and the XC70. The third generation (2007–2016) debuted in February 2007. For model year 2003 the crossover was renamed to XC70. It was based on the P2 platform and, as with its predecessor, was also offered as an all-wheel drive variant marketed as the V70 AWD and as a crossover version initially called V70 XC. The second generation (2000–2007) debuted in spring 2000. In September 1997 a crossover version called the V70 XC or V70 Cross Country was introduced. It was based on the P80 platform and was available with front and all-wheel drive (AWD), the latter marketed as the V70 AWD. The first generation (1996–2000) debuted in November 1996. The name V70 combines the letter V, standing for versatility, and 70, denoting relative platform size (i.e., a V70 is larger than a V40, but smaller than a V90). The Volvo V70 is an executive car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars from 1996 to 2016 across three generations.
