TO DRIVE
IT’S A THRILLING SENSATION – TO SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPERIENCE ALERT, INSTANT RESPONSE
AND UNFLAPPABLE STABILITY. YOUR VOLVO C70 IS BUILT TO INSPIRE IN ALL CONDITIONS. AND
WHAT MAKES IT SO ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE ALSO PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN ITS SUREFOOTEDNESS
AND SAFETY.
Volvo’s patented rear suspension system,
Delta-link, provides both firm road grip and
supple ride comfort. The rear axle allows the
rear wheels to turn slightly together with
the front wheels when entering a curve. The
result is quick steering response and better
control over the car throughout the curve.
You can fully enjoy the response from an
alert chassis and a smooth five-cylinder
turbocharged petrol engine producing
245 bhp, 200 bhp or 163 bhp. The snappy
five-speed manual gearbox is part of the
inspiration in the Volvo C70. If you prefer a
more relaxed driving style, you can specify
the crisp five-speed adaptive automatic
transmission that monitors your driving style
and tailors its gearchanges accordingly.
When it’s needed, you have access to a
powerful anti-lock braking system with EBD
(Electronic Brake Distribution). Braking
power is automatically distributed between
the front and rear brakes for effective, secure
braking in all situations.
