S70
A choice.
The
Volvo S70.
A marriage of pure sporting
excitement with comfort and prestige.
From an award-winning pedigree, the
S70
delivers control and power with a fresh
innovative vision. Sleek, flowing lines conceal a
spacious interior where comfort, luxury and
safety have been overriding design criteria.
The
S70 is
equipped to deliver, engineered to
perform and styled to inspire.
Four different levels of model specification
coupled with equipment packs and options
provide a car tailored to your lifestyle. Seven
different engines, both petrol and diesel, offer
performance ranging from turbocharged
acceleration to economical commuting. Anti-lock
ABS braking and a choice of tuned chassis types
guarantee unprecedented handling and control.
With Volvo, there's the added assurance of
reward with responsibility. Award-winning
safety systems. Environmentally-influenced design.
A dynamic dealer network. Worry-free ownership.
Each
S70 is
exclusively built to order, by us,
for you.
This brochure, with your dealer, will help you
make your choice.
S70
Driving luxury.
The S70 redefines the experience of
executive driving.
Inside, the sense of quality is unmistakable. Reach
for any control and you'll find it feels tactile and
positive. The cabin is spacious, light and airy,
comfortably cool thanks to lightly tinted glass.
A gently swept dashboard places instruments
clearly and logically. Seats are firm and
supportive, reducing muscle tiredness and fatigue
on long journeys.
S70 design celebrates functionality. The RDS
radio cassette features self-adjusting volume,
automatically adjusting to the road speed.
Controls like the electric mirror joystick, fuel flap
release and boot release mechanism are
conveniently recessed in the driver's door.
The Thatcham approved alarm and locking
system is remote operated. The control unit
includes a special boot opening button for quick,
easy access when carrying shopping or goods.
Of course, driving enjoyment is about safety and
protection, too. Every S70 includes three-point
inertia reel seat belts, side airbags on the front
seats,
Volvo's Side Impact Protection System
(SIPS) and a driver's airbag.

S70 R
The ultimate driving experience.
An insistence on the most exacting specification
should be suitably rewarded.
The S70 R excels in every sphere. From the
electrifying performance to the unsurpassed
interior equipment, the S70 R stands alone.
The sense of power is overwhelming. Under the
bonnet, a 2.3 litre 250 bhp* turbocharged petrol
engine takes the car from 0-62 mph in just
6.7 seconds. A lowered sports chassis with special
anti-roll bars and shock absorbers makes safe,
spirited cornering an everyday pleasure.
A viscous coupling in the differential ensures the
increased power is transmitted most efficiently
to the front wheels**.
Inside, the S70 R is equally unforgettable.
Distinctive aluminium panels confer an exclusive
sporting feel to the cabin. Power front seats glide
effortlessly to the perfect driving position.
Electronic Climate Control automatically ensures
the perfect temperature. Leather and quilted
Alcantara
®
upholstery enhance the interior.
The S70 R. Reward yourself with the
ultimate driving experience.

Performance
to satisfy head and heart.
Sports handling, outstanding roadholding and
assertive power combine to make the S70 a car
to excite on any road. Advanced chassis and
suspension design results in characteristics which
exploit the most powerful engine technology
with confidence.
The choice of seven smooth five cylinder engines
includes petrol and turbo diesel options.
With power outputs ranging from a willing
126
bhp for the
2.0
litre 10 valve to a blistering
250
bhp for the manual
2.3
litre
R, there is
performance for every driving need.
Double overhead camshafts and sophisticated
electronic engine management systems contribute
to outstanding flexibility and efficiency.
An aluminium engine block and cylinder head
reduce weight, improving handling and fuel
economy. The S70 R takes just 6.7 seconds* to
reach 62 mph. Equally the 140 bhp Turbo Diesel
will return up to 54 mpg (5.2 1/100km) at typical
motorway cruising speeds.
One of two chassis settings is available except on
the S70 R. The standard `dynamic' setting provides
optimum passenger comfort. The optional Sports
setting reduces the car's road height by
approximately 2cm, lowering the centre of gravity.
The result is sporting agility with a firmer, yet still
compliant, ride. A five speed manual or four speed
automatic transmission lets you enjoy your
preferred level of driving involvement.
The S70. Flexible performance to satisfy head
and heart.

Manual; Automatic version 240 bhp, 0-62 mph in 7.3 seconds.
Five cylinders and a
compact gearbox combine
to yield the power of a large
engine in the space of a
small one.
The automatic transmission
has three driving modes:
E (Economy) gives the
smoothest ride, S (Sports)
provides optimum
acceleration and W (Winter)
minimises the risk of
wheelspin on icy roads.
Triple synchronisation makes
all
manual gear changes
smooth and positive.
The three-way catalytic
converter with Lambda
sensor eliminates more than
95% of the carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust fumes.
The diagnostic system
promotes cleaner
emissions and fast,
economical servicing.
