Summary

2009 Volvo XC70

Volvo XC70 is an excellent choice for outdoor adventurers. It offers genuine off-pavement capability and it's very good on unpaved roads. It has lots of room for gear and the cargo compartment is perfectly flat. It offers many advantages over truck-based SUVs, including better fuel economy, better handling, better ride, and for many it's a more rational alternative. Yet it's quiet, maneuverable and pleasant for the sort of driving most of us do most of the time.

J.P. Vettraino reported from Germany, with NewCarTestDrive.com editor Mitch McCullough reporting from northwestern Montana.
