Volvo’s latest offering, the 2006 C70 coupe, offers room for four and a retractable hardtop, making it two cars in one. With the three-piece hardtop in place the 2006 Volvo C70 is a quiet coupe and with the top retracted it’s an open-air convertible. The top is activated with the touch of a button and can be stowed in a matter of seconds. The 2006 Volvo C70 is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 218 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. Both automatic and manual transmissions are available.
Top Down With the retractable top folded into the trunk, the 2006 Volvo C70 makes for a very handsome convertible.
Top Up Top up or down, the Volvo C70 is a well-styled coupe that looks as good being valeted at a five-star hotel as it does cruising the beach.
Room for 4With the top stowed in the trunk, the 2006 Volvo C70 lets the sun shine in on an interior designed to seat four adults in comfort.
Front Styling There is no mistaking the 2006 C70 for anything other than a Volvo from the front. With its trademark grille and distinctive styling, the C70 is a nice addition to the Volvo lineup.
Interior Design The 2006 Volvo C70 sports a simple, clean and uncluttered interior design that can be enjoyed with the top up or down.
Engine Power The 2006 Volvo C70 has an aggressive stance that is backed with a 218-horsepower, turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder. The Volvo C70 can be equipped with either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission.
Safety With the top down, the Volvo C70 occupants are protected in a rollover situation by a rollover protection system (ROPS) that includes twin bars that deploy upward from behind the rear seats to protect the occupants’ heads.
