Was there such a thing as a P3.5 (4?) before they ended production of this shape?
Externally, to me it looks identical to me, to the earlier models.
Thanks!

I’m not sure whether there’s such thing as a P3.5 - I think Volvo just call them all the P3 chassis.
The sensus system from the XC60 was incorporated into the V70 & XC70 in 2011.
In 2012, the V70 and XC70 received a minor facelift. The front received a redesigned bumper with more chrome, the Volvo logo on the front was enlarged. The indicators in the side mirrors were redesigned and changed to LED and the rear light cluster was changed. I believe there were also more paint & alloy options to choose from 2012 onwards.
The biggest difference is the engine. If its a D5, the newer models from mid 2009 are twin turbo. The older ones weren’t (they had single turbo’s). There was an engine used in 2010-2011 that had a single turbo with 175bhp, but its rare to come by (D5244T14). This engine was badged “2.4 D” in 2010/2011- Its still a D5, but with less power.
