Volvo XC70 Gas Mileage (MPG)

Volvo XC70 Gas Mileage (MPG):

Unlike other fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Real-World Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Volvo XC70's real-world MPG based on how and where you drive a car.

If you are not a TrueDelta member, you can see only five Volvo XC70 MPG gas mileage averages for each powertrain. Log in or join us to see them all.

Volvo XC70 Fuel Economy: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Surprising fuel economy for the 2.5 turbo 208 hp engine. Several road trips with consistent 30 mpg at freeway speeds (70-75 mph). Around the city 22 - 25 mpg in mixed stop and go and freeway trips. The trip computer is usually 2 mpg less than actual.
2005 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed automatic FWD
For a heavy car, I am satisfied with 28-30 highway and about 24 overall average.
2004 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5

City it gets decent milage (20ish) and highway (30ish).
