Product Overview

Volvo C70 Convertible is a mid-size convertible in production from 1997 to 2005. It was available with a range of inline-5 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.4 liters.
Interestingly, the Mk1 C70 used an all-I5 engine lineup with various displacements and boost levels. This allowed Volvo to design the chassis and exhaust to improve the refinement of the vehicle with the same engine configuration.
Unfortunately, the C70 is quite ugly with its soft top. Its FWD layout with long front overhang is not very appealing, either. Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 262L (9cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
