YOU CAN ENJOY THE OPEN AIR WITH A CLEAN CONSCIENCE. HIGHLY EFFICIENT EXHAUST TREATMENT ENSURES THAT
THE VOLVO C70 MEETS STRINGENT ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. AT THE SAME TIME, FUEL CONSUMPTION IS KEPT
DOWN SO AS TO MINIMISE EMISSIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE.
THE MUSCULAR EXTERIOR HINTS AT THE POWER OF
THE SMOOTH, QUIET FIVE-CYLINDER TURBO.
YOU HAVE THREE PETROL ENGINES TO CHOOSE
FROM:163 BHP, 200 BHP AND 245 BHP. WHICHEVER
YOU CHOOSE, YOU WILL HAVE AN ENGINE WITH THE
POWER AND RESPONSE FOR EVERY SITUATION.
SPORTY
The 245-bhp turbocharged five-cylinder 2.3-litre engine
yields very high torque over most of the engine speed
range. The high charge-air pressure in the turbo means
extra power at high engine speeds; this is an engine that
inspires driving.
RELAXED
The 163-bhp and 200-bhp turbo engines give maximum
torque at low engine speeds - you get moving quickly and
rarely need to shift down for overtaking, for example. The
l ower charge-air pressure at high engine speeds makes
acceleration a little gentler, but still very powerful.
TRANSMISSIONS
If you prefer to change gear yourself, you will enjoy the
smooth and distinct five-speed all-synchromesh manual
transmission.
Alternatively, you can choose the responsive five-speed
adaptive automatic which adjusts gearshifting patterns to
suit your driving. A special winter mode makes it easier to
get moving - and keep moving - on slippery roads.
