by admin on September 1, 2009


Currently, Volvo has released images of its facelifted 2010 C70 Convertible ahead of its official world debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show later this month. This new model is equipped with the same three-piece steel roof, practical seating for four adults and Volvo’s renowned reputation for safety, the facelifted C70 features a revised front and rear design, along with an updated interior.

The bodywork comes with more features such as the front wings have also been redesigned, while the nose is more wedge-shaped and has been given added three-dimensional depth by moving some elements of the front. Also, the new headlamps and the detailing around the foglamps, for instance, have been angled offset up and to the rear, at the same time as the detailing of the lower grille has been enhanced. In addition, a new ‘Flamenco Red Pearl’ paint scheme has also been added to the range.

From the inside look, the instrument panel has been redesigned, giving it a wider, sleeker look and the surface of the panel has a new texture that enhances the feeling of quality. Meanwhile, the safety features are also include an advanced body structure and several solutions that are unique in the world of convertibles. The lack of a fixed roof has been compensated by structural reinforcements and sophisticated technology.

The one of important part of the side-impact and rollover protection is an inflatable curtain, which is installed in the door since there is no roof rail in which to fit it. Additionally, to the inflatable curtains on either side, the front seat occupants also have side-impact airbags.

The powertrain lineup will consist of several gasoline and turbodiesel units ranging in output from about 136 to 230 horsepower. The range will kick off with the 2.0D turbodiesel developing 136 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque and will top out with a 2.5-liter T5 turbocharged gasoline model with 230 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque on tap.

The pricing and specification are expected to take place in the U.S. early next year, closer to the car’s sales launch.
