Volvo C70 Coupé Convertible (06 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 13 April 2010
The Volvo C70 convertible injects a welcome dose of glamour into the Swedish firm’s range. Pitched to go head to head with premium rivals from Audi, BMW and Lexus, the Volvo boasts a complex folding three-piece hardtop in place of a cheaper fabric roof. This helps benfit weatherproofing and security while raising refinement. Inside the C70 lifts its interior from the its siblings which means there is the typical clean, minimal, and not to mention stylish approach to cabin design Volvo excels at. From the end of 2009 the C70’s style quotient was boasted even further with a facelift that saw the firm’s new corporate nose grafted successfully onto the C70. Inside, the materials used to craft the interior benefitted from a welcome boost in quality. The engine range carried over unchanged.
