Station wagons received no change to their rooflines, doors, and rear fascias. However, all Ambassadors received a new extruded aluminum grille at the front, featuring several widely spaced bright horizontal bars with one wide, body colored horizontal grille bar extending to each headlight cluster. New "turbine" themed hub caps were introduced and would remain through 1974. The V8 was replaced for 1970 by a new V8 engine. This at 4400 rpm and of torque at 2800 rpm was the standard engine on all DPL and SST models. The V8 was also supplanted by a engine available in either 2-barrel, regular gasoline, or high-output, 4-barrel, premium fuel versions. The 4-barrel "AMX" V8 engine was optional, producing at 3200 rpm and of torque at 3200 rpm.
