2010 Volvo C70 Overview
When it comes to safety, Volvo’s are world renown. When you take that first-class safety and add new-age Volvo styling and a top-notch power top, you get the 2010 Volvo C70.
Behind that distinctive Volvo front fascia is a 227-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five engine, which is mated to a six speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. These powertrain pairings yield 19-20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Power and fuel economy numbers are right on par with the base engines of the Audi A5 Convertible, BMW 3 Series Convertible and Lexus IS 250C.
With the retractable hardtop up or down, the 2010 Volvo C70 offers competitive interior room. Notably, the C70 has a whopping two inches more rear legroom than the 3 Series, and several more inches than the IS 250C. Luggage capacity is also superior to all the aforementioned competitors, which becomes especially important in convertible models when you have the top down. To make cargo loading easier, the Lift Assist function features push-button operation to lift the retracted hardtop out of the way – that’s pretty slick.
The 2010 Volvo C70 seats four in power adjustable front seats, while dual zone automatic climate control, alloy and leather interior trim, Bluetooth and USB connectivity and a CD player come standard. The Premium Package adds leather seats and Sirius Satellite Radio, while the Dynamic Package adds 18-inch wheels, dual xenon active bending headlights and a three-spoke aluminum-accented steering wheel. The Multimedia Package includes a 12-speaker Dynaudio® sound system with Dolby® surround sound, and Volvo HDD navigation. The Climate Package adds heated front seats, a climate control enhancements. Independent options include premium leather seating surfaces and oak interior trim.
Volvo safety is of course a key feature of the 2010 Volvo C70, highlighted by Volvo’s patented front structure with superior crumple zones. Dual front, front side and – here’s a unique surprise – front head airbags on this convertible further enhance safety, and help the C70 earn a Top Pick award from the IIHS. Antilock brakes, traction and stability control systems and an available blind spot warning system round out the safety package.
With plenty of power, excellent luxury features and arguably the safest convertible package on the road, the 2010 Volvo C70 offers one of the most open-motoring experiences.
