Performance

Pure driving pleasure

With a six-speed manual transmission, go from 0 to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds.

Handling and Stability

Increased torsional stiffening and road-hugging chassis give the Volvo C70 incredibly stable handling - and make it a supremely fun car to drive.

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control

Volvo Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) enables you to use all the engine power, even on slippery surfaces. It's a great aid for maintaining your speed and trajectory through a slippery curve.

Safety

New standards in safety

The Volvo C70 comes with extra stiff door-mounted inflatable curtains as part of the enhanced protection system for side impacts. Plus, an improved Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) offers protection to occupants in rollover accidents.

Roll Over Protection System

The Volvo C70 comes with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) designed to act quickly and effectively. Should it sense your car is in danger of rolling over, it responds to make corrections. And if needed, special ROPS bars extend rapidly to create a space between the car and the ground, reducing the risk of occupant injury.

Reinforced Body Structure

We've reinforced the C70 with extremely strong A-posts, doors and sills. A longitudinal member has been added to the upper section of each door, while the bottom sills are built bigger and stronger, then laser-welded for increased torsional rigidity.

Intelligent Driver Information Systems

IDIS continually monitors the movement of your car's steering wheel to determine if you're negotiating some difficult curves - any situation, in fact, that demands your full attention. If it detects you are, it will delay distracting information - incoming calls on the integrated cars phone, for example - until your drive becomes less demanding.

Design

Innovative design

Go from sporty, muscular coupe to an elegantly stylish convertible in less than 30 seconds, leaving you free to admire the view - and to be the centre of attention.

Seating for Four Adults

Plenty of room, with a view. Beautiful from the inside as well as out, Volvo C70 allows four passengers to enjoy the drive in advanced comfort and safety.

Design Craftsmanship

Scandinavian design is defined by its quality, style and craftsmanship, and the Volvo C70 has been shaped in this tradition. Just study the overall lines of the elegant C70 exterior, or interior details such as the new laminated oak inlay, leather steering wheel and new top-of-the-line upholstery.

Storage Versatility

Loading versatility, no matter what you're loading. Volvo C70 sports a huge trunk that accommodates a golf bag and clubs - even with the top down and stowed.

Environment

Closer to nature

The Volvo C70 meets the toughest emissions standards. And with the top up, the Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) shuts out harmful airborne substances.

Interior Air Quality System

We're just as concerned with the quality of the air inside your vehicle as outside. That's why with the roof up, Volvo's Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) monitors the cabin air to remove harmful substances and particles.

Low Fuel Consumption

Because the Volvo C70 has been designed with a low drag coefficient, it helps to lower fuel consumption and keep harmful emissions out of the environment. Because of its technology, the C70 meets both the stringent ULEV II emission standards in the US and Euro 4/5 Petrol diesel standard.

Clean and Healthy Interior

There's no place for plastics and materials with toxic emissions inside the Volvo C70. So it's no surprise that all of its interior fabrics comply with the ecological Oeko-Tex standard 100.

Reviews

"..it's the C70's clean surfaces, changeable shape and unique flavour that take precedence."
