Seen by many as simply a jacked-up version of the V70, Volvo was keen to demonstrate just how capable its refreshed model is when the going gets grubby - and its performance was seriously impressive.
Boasting a new D5 diesel unit, which offers 10bhp more than the outgoing five cylinder diesel lump, the 4x4 model tackled rutted, muddy tracks with ease.
On standard road tyres, the XC70 rarely put a foot wrong - only one car was marooned in around a foot of mud, rescued eventually by a quad bike with a winch. But it was certainly the exception.
