PERFORMANCE Transmission

Five-cylinder in-line engine.

Double overhead camshafts, 20 valves. Continuously variable

valve timing on both the intake and exhaust side. Three-way

catalytic converter with heated oxygen sensor. Electronic

engine management system. Light-pressure turbocharger and

dual-charge air coolers (Intercoolers). Volvo’s smooth-running

five-cylinder engines are designed to respond at low rpm, so

there’s plenty of torque without having to shift to a lower gear.

This is made possible by continuously variable valve timing,

low internal friction and the electronic engine control system.

This also helps to optimize fuel consumption and reduce

environmental impact – all engines comply with stringent

emission standards, such as California’s ULEV II.

PACK & LOAD

PACK & LOAD Compartment/Towing

Load hatch, rear seat

Long and awkward items, such as skis or snowboards,

can be placed through the loading hatch between the rear

seats. Add a ski bag and rear seat passengers are protected

from soiled equipment.

Ski bag, interior*

Adding a ski bag to the loading hatch between the rear seats

facilitates loading of up to two pairs of skis or two snowboards,

while rear seat passengers are protected from dirty equipment.

* Retailer installed accessory

Rear seat cover*

To use the rear seat space as an extra loading area, there’s a

durable seat cover specially designed for your Volvo. Quickly

fitted, this helps protect the upholstery if you need to carry a

messy load. It’s also useful if you need to collect a pet or a

passenger wearing dirty clothes – safety belts remain

operational.

* Retailer installed accessory

Load aid

The Volvo C70 offers 7 or 14 cu.ft. of luggage space,

depending on whether you have the top down or up. To get to

your gear more easily when the top is down, simply press the

’load aid’ button in the boot. This raises the retracted hardtop

to enlarge the opening. A built-in horizontal load divider helps

ensure the hardtop can always be smoothly retracted.

Performance

PERFORMANCE Chassis/Steering

Driveline

Front wheel drive. Transverse engine with a five-speed

Geartronic automatic allowing manual shifting. The Geartronic

is a responsive five-speed automatic. It can also be shifted

manually so that you can maintain a lower gear to rev the

engine or provide the added assistance of engine braking.

Chassis

Front suspension with spring struts (McPherson), anti-dive

and anti-lift function. Multilink independent rear suspension.

Stabilizers front and rear. DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction

Control). The rigid body enables the suspension to function

optimally for well balanced handling and a high level of

comfort. The front and rear suspensions also interact to

provide stable braking and smooth steering. The DSTC stability

system lends a helping hand if either of the drive wheels

begins to lose traction or if a skid is imminent.

Steering

Speed-dependent, power-assisted, electro-hydraulic, rack and

pinion steering. Tilt and telescopic steering column. Leather-

clad steering wheel. 2.6 turns lock to lock. Turning circle 38.7 ft.

Behind the wheel, you can enjoy responsive yet firm steering

that gives progressively less power assistance the faster you

drive. High steering precision and balanced road feedback are

easily enjoyed benefits.

Brakes

Power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), ventilated discs

front. EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance). EBD (Electronic

Brake Distribution) between the front and rear brakes.

Diagonally split braking system. Powerful anti-lock disc brakes

help ensure a short stopping distance under all circumstances

and withstand tough use without fading. EBA helps you use

your brakes to the full in an emergency situation, while EBD

distributes the braking effect between the front and rear

wheels in order to achieve optimal results according to the

car’s load and driving conditions.
