2011 Volvo C70 Overview at Volvo of Fort Myers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Myers, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) May 12, 2011 -- Vehicle Profile: The 2011 Volvo C70
A hardtop convertible for all-year driving pleasure.


For many, the appeal of a luxury convertible is unquestionable, and little rationale is needed to make the decision to buy or lease one; sporty styling and driving fun are reasons enough. Add the need for safety, security and all-season comfort into the mix and one model stands apart – the 2011 Volvo C70 convertible.

Temptingly sleek and luxurious, and made even more so with 2011 refinements, the front-wheel drive Volvo C70’s retractable hardtop roof transforms the C70 from a premium coupe into an equally premium convertible in just 30 seconds.

With the top up, the C70 feels snug and quiet. With the top down, it provides the full convertible experience with no compromises. The C70’s $39,950 MSRP essentially gets you two different cars in one, rather than having to choose. Contrast the Volvo C70’s dual functionality with the Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertibles, which still use soft-top roofs.

The C70, however, offers far more than a slick roof. This is a car engineered for driving pleasure in any weather. Outside and in, its elegant Scandinavian design imparts a sense of warmth and timelessness, taking luxury beyond just a long list of features and amenities. Of course, the 2011 Volvo C70 delivers the safety you associate with the brand. The Inflatable Curtain side airbag protection was specially engineered for slow deflation in a rollover situation – a world first for a four-passenger convertible. Another world first is the WHIPS whiplash protection system for the front seats, which helps prevent injury in the event of a collision, and Volvo Intelligent Vehicle Architecture (V!VA) front structure, which uses a combination of four types of high strength steel to increase protection.

Volvo designers sharpened the C70’s look for 2011, giving it an even sportier, wedge-oriented flair thanks to new front and rear styling, new head- and taillamps and standard 17-inch "Sirona" diamond-cut alloy wheels. For more “sport,” choose the Dynamic Package, which adds 18-inch "Midir" diamond-cut alloy wheels, dual-xenon headlights with the Active Bending Light (ABL) feature and headlight washers, plus an elegant three-spoke sport steering wheel with aluminum inlays.

Interior luxury steps up for 2011, too, with watch-dial-style instrument gauges, standard Sovereign Hide Leather, new instrument panel texture and standard SIRIUS Satellite Radio. If you’re feeling especially bold about driving the C70, consider one of the striking new colors, Flamenco Red and Ember Black, and, for no extra charge, the new Cranberry interior leather.

When you test-drive a Volvo C70, make sure to sample the Premium Sound System that’s part of the available Multimedia Package. With 14 speakers, Dolby® ProLogic II® Surround Sound and seven 130-watt amplifiers, this amazing system could make the C70 your preferred listening room.

The package also includes the Volvo HDD Navigation System with Real-Time Traffic, remote control and Map Care. Once you experience the joy of driving the C70, though, finding the quickest route to your destination might not seem all that important.

From behind the C70’s leather-wrapped steering wheel, you’ll feel a finely balanced blend of performance and luxury. Integral to that balance is the C70’s T5 turbocharged five-cylinder engine. With 227 hp, the C70 delivers strong acceleration, aided by the smooth shifts from the newly standard five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission that allows manual shifting when the driver desires.

A more important number for the C70, especially for those who seek smooth, powerful performance in every day driving, is the 236 lb/ft of peak torque delivered from just 1,500 through 5,000 rpm. That translates into a responsive surge of power in the kinds of driving you do every day from merging onto the freeway safely to overtaking slow truck traffic. When you take a winding back road, the C70’s powerful torque swell will pull the C70 from curve to curve with the ease and finesse of a fine grand touring machine.

At the same time, and reflecting Volvo’s three decades-plus of experience with turbocharged engines, the C70 also delivers admirable fuel efficiency including 28 mpg on the highway. Like other turbocharged Volvo models, the C70 uses Regular grade fuel for maximum customer value. Bolstering that value, all 2011 Volvos come with complimentary scheduled maintenance coverage for the first three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. That includes the first four regularly scheduled maintenance services (7,500, 15,000, 22,500 and 30,000 mileage intervals).

Whether you’ve been a convertible fan all along or you’re just thinking about giving in to the allure of owning one, the 2011 Volvo C70 offers the ideal all-season package. Give yourself a springtime treat and test-drive one soon.
