After three years on the market, Volvo is updating its C70 convertible with a fresh look reminiscent of the S60 Concept and indicative of future styling trends for Volvo.
As the C70's update is just a mid-cycle refresh, the changes are far more evolutionary than revolutionary and updates to the C70 sheetmetal focus primarily on the little details. Changes include longer, drawn-back headlights, a bulging, V-shaped hood and revised grille in front and new LED tail lights in the rear.
Inside, the C70 gets an updated dash to better match Volvo's other current offerings as well as new textured surfaces for a more upscale look. Volvo has also switched to a softer leather for the C70's seats to improve passenger comfort.
Engine choices will be carried over from the previous model, which means two gasoline and two diesel options for European customers. In the U.S., the 227-hp turbocharged inline-five is likely to remain the only powerplant. Production begins in November with deliveries starting in early 2010. Pricing hasn't been announced, but is expected to be similar to 2009 model pricing.
