The Volvo XC70 was first introduced in the year 1998 although it was considered a V70. This is the first vehicle that was considered part car and part sport utility vehicle. In 1999, Volvo called this vehicle the Cross Country. Although the Volvo XC70 looked more like a station wagon than a sports utility vehicle consumers flocked to get this fancy and sharp looking station wagon.

In the year 2000, Volvo changed the name to XC70. The “X” and “C” stands for “Cross Country” and the 70 stands for the V70 model from the original vehicle that was made. Soon the Volvo XC70 was manufactured with a few more inches to add height to it, a new badge and even some padding.
