Since its inception, the V70 has evolved through three generations, with the second generation designed by Peter Horbury.

The original V70 was a development of the Volvo 850 estate car (station wagon) and saloon (sedan) range. The new name reflected Volvo's new strategy of naming vehicles depending on size and body style. Thus, the 850 was deemed to be a relative size 70. The name is then appended with the type of vehicle. So the station wagon adopted V (for Versatility, but can also be thought of as Wagon, or "Vagon"), S (for Saloon), and C (for the new Coupé); these cars are respectively known as V70, S70 and C70. There were 1,800 improved and new parts in the design from the original 850, including upgraded passive and active safety, better handling and new engines. Gone were the 850's square edges and replaced by rounded corners to suit the late 1990s style trend. Other changes included a new 'family face' for the V/S/C70 models, colour-coded bumpers, clear indicator lenses, and a new dashboard. However, on the whole, one could say the car was similar to its predecessor, but nevertheless, a successful facelift.
