C70 Coupe Convertible
from under $39,000

With a base price starting from under $39,000 in the USA, the 2006 Volvo C70 Coupe / Convertible comes with its three-piece retractable hardtop, seating for four adults and door mounted inflatable curtain.

The base version includes (USA specs) front 8-way electrically operated seats (they move forward twice as quickly as the previous C70), automatically locking storage in all four seating positions, power windows, cruise control and an eight speaker stereo system with a six-disc in-dash CD player.

Powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged T5 Volvo engine that produces 218 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque (319.9 Nm), the C70 comes standard with a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission. A 5-speed Geartronic automatic transmission is also available.

The retractable hardtop folds away quickly and smoothly into the trunk. Apart from the flexibility offered by the retractable hardtop it also makes for a quieter, more comfortable coupe, and helps reduce the risk of a break-in.

With no fixed roof for the inflatable curtain to deploy from, the all-new C70 features a curtain that deploys up from the door panel (photo above), helping to protect occupants even if the top is down.

The curtain has an extra stiff construction with double rows of slats that are slightly offset from each other. This allows them to remain upright longer and offer effective head protection even with the window open. The curtain deflates slowly to provide protection should the car roll over. This is a unique solution in the automotive world.
