    Default XC 70 Model Update Schedule?

    Good Morning...looking at XC 70...likely will take advantage of overseas delivery.

    I did a search for any info on Volvo's "update/model change" schedule but found nothing on the XC 70. I am aware that the 2012 had some minor changes including electronics and dash configuration.

    My purchase would either be scheduled for a late summer 2012 or perhaps 2013.

    Any source for update/model change dates, etc?

    Same for XC 90 which appears to have had the minor updates in 2013...like the XC 70 got in 2012?

    The XC 90 seems like a really old model and the XC 70 likely is planned for change in the not too distant future?

    Volvo owner 1980 to 2007...five different Volvos...'80 245GL, '83 760GLE, '87(?) 745 GLT(?), 93(?) 850 GL and 1997 S70 T5. Sorry some of the details have "faded". We went away from Volvo in 2007 as we did not like at offerings. Our 1997 S70 T5 5 spd whas the best car we ever owned and we did not like the S60 due to size shrink from S70...and did not like the S80 at all. Wife did not want another wagon so we went to the Honda Accord until we found a Volvo we liked. Looks like now may be time.

    Thanks...Tom R

    The XC40 is expected to be announced and released later this year as a MY2013, but this has not been confirmed by Volvo. Volvo has confirmed that they plan to release a new XC90 for MY2014. Between now and then we may see a new S40.

    The XC70 will come after all of that, but an "S100" (to compete with the Audi A8, BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-Class, and Lexus LS) is expected to come first. There's also a real possibility of a C60/70/90/100 showing up in there. I wouldn't expect a new 70/80 series until at least MY2015, quite possibly MY2016.
