V70 p3.5?
Hi Guys,
Went to look at a V70 2011, however it had the newer dash with the screen built into the dash rather than at the top of the radio controls. 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 think upto MY11 had the pop-up nav (if specified), then from MY12 it changed to the built in screen.

Personally, I really dislike the facelifted interior of the P3.
The original design looked so much better in my opinion, much prefered the analogue dials and the rectangular shaped floating console, instead of the fatter curved variant found in the facelift version. The original floating console reminded me of some of the sleek mobile phone designs from the early 2000s where they had a digital backlit screen. |

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.

2010MY it was the engines, 2011MY it was the interior & dashboard with the new Sensus system, 2014MY there were external changes including chrome trim on the rear lights and the rear piller lights illuminated with the position lights etc. My personal preference is the post 2011MY SE LUX models are the ones to go for, I much prefer the sensus system and permanent screen, the active TFT display on LUX models is much easier on the eyes than the early milk bottle top dials - and you get a temperature gauge! I had a 2009 MY XC70 with reversing camera but by the time the screen had risen from the dash it you'd be down the road...

Sorry, I can’t edit my post above.
2011 V70’s & XC70’s had a minor facelift - Enlarged Volvo logo on the grill. More chrome, a resigned bumper & the sensus system inside the car. 2014 onwards had all of the above, plus a different rear light cluster (LED bulbs) including chrome accents around the rear light cluster. You can tell the difference, although the changes are subtle.

Thanks again all.
It was an ex demo, and has a fair few options.. Dab, front and rear sensors, BLIS, ACC, Lane departure warning etc etc. Although i am hoping it also has the auxillary parking heater as i do early mornings with the dogs and would be lovely to get into a pre heated car at 6am in the winter! |
