Volvo C30Volvo c30 General info
The
Volvo C30 is classified as a near luxury car, and it comes in the form
of a hatchback with three doors and four seats. The Volvo C30 can use
either one of two engines, and these are the Straight 4 and the
Straight 5. The car has a number of design similarities with the C70
luxury car, and they both use the Ford C1 platform. This car was first
introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 2006. The car will also be
offered in the United States for the 2008 line up. The T5 is the
version which will be offered to U.S. consumers. The Volvo C30 is aimed
at people who are buying a Volvo for the first time, and it is also
aimed at the younger generation.
The company is expected to
produce approximately 65,000 units every 12 months. In addition to
being available with a diesel engine, the C30 can also come with a
petrol engine. Each C30 model will utilize a manual gearbox, and the
models with the petrol engines will have an automatic transmission.
Perhaps one of the most impressive things about the Volvo C30 is the
sound system. It uses a Dolby Pro Logic II Surround sound system, and
it also has 10 speakers which are designed by Dynaudio. In addition to
these models, Volvo is also working on a hybrid that uses an electric
system.
These hybrid model is being developed at their
California development center, and the car will be entered into the
Michelin Challenge Bibendum in China. Visually, the C30 is quite
impressive. It uses a design which is very angular, and this is a sharp
contrast to many luxury cars today, which use a more circular design.
The car has a look which could be described as youthful, and since it
is aimed at the younger market, this is quite appropriate. The design
of the C30 is distinct even from other Volvo models, and the Interior
is quite impressive. Volvo is also working towards developing an
electric hybrid that uses an electrical plug-in system.
The
electric motors used by this hybrid will be powered by a battery back,
and it can work for about 60 kilometers before it needs to be
recharged. This model will not be fully electric, and the diesel engine
can act as a generator in a situation where the battery pack needs to
be recharged. An additional feature that this car will have is the
ability to be recharged over night.
