Volvo XC70 Wiper Blades Size Guide

The Volvo XC70 is a mid-size all-road SUV built by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo, based on the V70 wagon platform and positioned as a raised, all-weather variant within the range. The most common variant, built from 2008 to 2016, takes a 26 inch (650mm) blade on the driver side and a 20 inch (500mm) blade on the passenger side, while earlier models built from 2003 to 2007 take a 24 inch (600mm) driver side blade and a 22 inch (550mm) passenger side blade. Front wipers use a push button connector on the most common variant, and a rear wiper is fitted as standard from 2005 onward, though the earliest 2003 to 2004 model has no rear wiper at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wiper blades does a Volvo XC70 take?

The Volvo XC70 takes a 24 inch (600mm) driver side blade and a 22 inch (550mm) passenger side blade on models built from 2003 to 2007, and a 26 inch (650mm) driver side blade with a 20 inch (500mm) passenger side blade on models built from 2008 to 2016. Checking the exact registration year against the table above confirms the correct size for a particular XC70.

Does the Volvo XC70 have a rear wiper?

It depends on the build year. The 2003 to 2004 Volvo XC70 has no rear wiper and is fitted with two front wiper blades only, which can be confirmed in the specifications on the product page. Every XC70 built from 2005 onward is fitted with a rear wiper blade as standard, sized at 15 inches (375mm) on the 2005 to 2007 model and 14 inches (350mm) on the 2008 to 2016 model.

What wiper connector does the Volvo XC70 use?

The 2003 to 2004 Volvo XC70 uses a J-hook connector on the front wipers. This changed to a pinch tab connector for the 2005 to 2007 model, then to a push button connector from 2008 onward. Confirming the build year before ordering avoids fitting the wrong style.

Why doesn't the earliest Volvo XC70 have a rear wiper?

The first generation Volvo XC70, built from 2003 to 2004, was designed without a rear wiper, unlike every later generation of the model. Volvo added a rear wiper as standard equipment from the 2005 facelift onward, alongside a switch to a pinch tab front connector. Confirming the build year is important, since these three generations are not interchangeable.

How often should I replace Volvo XC70 wiper blades?

Volvo XC70 wiper blades generally need replacing every 6 to 12 months in Australian conditions, where UV exposure and road grime wear down the rubber edge faster. Streaking, skipping or noisy wiping are signs the blades need attention. Replacing worn blades promptly helps maintain clear vision in wet weather.
