At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Volvo V70 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from six 4x4 versions of Volvo V70 2007 if off-road driveability is important to you.
