At IPD, since the only difference is the badging, we consider the 2001-2003 V70XC to be the same model as an 2004-2007 XC70. These are all "XC70" models to us.
P2 XC70 models share many parts with other P2 V70 models but where they differ is distinct enough to consider them as a separate model from the V70.
The most noticeable asthetic difference between and XC model and a regular V70 model is the lower body cladding and wheel arch trim on the XC models. XC models also have a higher front-end ground clearance than a regular V70 resulting in all the front suspension parts being unique to the XC70. They were also factory equipped with smaller diameter wheels.
The P2 XC70 is technically the second generation of V70 "XC" model since there was a P80 based V70XC.
Model information is based on the USA vehicle market. Other model variations may exist outside the USA.
