2006 Volvo C70 Overview

Introduction

The Volvo C70 styling is brilliant, with elegant coupe lines, and the retractable hardtop is an engineering masterpiece. The cabin features comfortable seats, the latest in Volvo interior styling and fabrics, and a clever cubby behind the center dash.

There is only one model of the C70, the coupe and the convertible. It's called simply the C70. The C changes its meaning with the weather. Coupertible? The retractable hardtop is standard, and the only choice. Standard equipment includes the six-speed manual transmission. The five-speed automatic transmission is optional. Standard features include power front seats, leather steering wheel with controls, and a six-disc CD changer with eight speakers and four amplifiers. It uses the same turbocharged five-cylinder engine that's been powering Volvos for some time. It's 2.4 liters with dual overhead cams and variable camshaft timing, tuned to the same 218 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque as the S40. It comes with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.

The Volvo C70 is all new for 2006.
