The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) was also introduced as part of standard equipment. The new engine management system with drive-by-wire throttle replaces mechanical throttle in all turbo gasoline models, the turbo diesel engine maintains cable-driven throttle. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is upgraded from a three-channel system to four channels, and enhanced traction control now called STC (Stability Traction Control) is introduced. All wheel drive models accept thicker rear brake discs and a redesigned rear caliper. 4-speed automatic transmission is enhanced to adaptive shift logic, replacing the selection of the previous three modes.

Standard configurations are front wheel drive, all-wheel drive petrol version (V70 AWD), CNG V70 Bi-Fuel version and diesel version (V70 TDI) available.
