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.

Equipment

There were originally three trim levels - Sport, SE and SE Lux. The Sport has electronic climate control, a trip computer, cruise control, four electric windows and electrically adjustable door mirrors, a CD stereo, height-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, alloy wheels and front foglights. SE models add an auto dimming rear-view mirror, electrically adjustable driver's seat, full leather seat facings (Sport has part leather), upgraded audio system and rain sensitive wipers. The SE Lux adds 18-inch alloys, electrically adjustable passenger seat, cargo net, ski bag and a higher quality audio system with a six-CD autochanger. An entry-level S version was added later which comes with electronic climate control, 16-inch alloys, cruise control, a high performance sound system and electric windows. In March 2009 an Ice White model (based on the S) was introduced which comes with leather upholstery, white paintwork and unique 18-inch alloys. In February 2012 an Inscription model was introduced to the Vovo C70 line-up. It comes with 18-inch alloys, LED daytime running lights, aluminium inlays on the steering wheel and gear shift knob, sports pedals and 'Inscrption' detailing on trim and carpet mats. The optional Winter Pack includes heated front seats, headlamp wash and luxury floor mats while the Communications Pack has Volvo On Call, dual-band GSM telephone and satellite navigation system.
