2012 Volvo C70

Pin IT

The 2012 Volvo C70 boasts a retractable hardtop, a luxurious interior and a smooth ride, though its middling performance means some competitors will leave it behind. The 2012 Volvo C70 has a smart three-piece steel roof, practical seating for four adults and world-leading convertible safety. With a refined design and elevated premium feel, the 2012 Volvo C70 also delivers an “I want” aura of absolute world class.

The 2012 Volvo C70 model lineup gets revamped with three new trim levels, while the standard Bluetooth system now includes audio streaming capability. A reshuffling of the model lineup means there are now three different C70 trim levels available, including the 2012 Volvo C70 T5, T5 Premier Plus and T5 Platinum.

The 2012 Volvo C70 T5 base model comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, a power-retractable hardtop, and heated mirrors. Moving up to the 2012 Volvo C70 Premier Plus gets you rear parking sensors, keyless ignition/entry and a compass. The top-of-the-line 2012 Volvo C70 T5 Platinum adds a navigation system, real-time traffic and a 14-speaker premium surround-sound audio system.

Each 2012 Volvo C70 trim is eligible for the following options. The Climate package bundles headlamp washers, automatic wipers, heated front seats and upgraded climate control. The Dynamic package includes 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive bi-xenon headlights and a sport steering wheel. Stand-alone options in the 2012 Volvo C70 include a blind-spot warning system. Thanks to the update in the Volvo 2011 C70, the 2012 Volvo C70 front end bears a family resemblance to the S60 sedan and XC60 crossover.

The 2012 Volvo C70 reveals traces of the S60 that was unveiled in early 2010. Reviews for Volvo C70 said this brings the 2012 Volvo C70 more closely to the design language of the larger cars in the Volvo model range. The 2012 Volvo C70 nose is more wedge-shaped and has been given added three-dimensional depth by moving some elements of the front both longitudinally and vertically.

The 2012 Volvo C70 headlamps and the décor around the fog lamps, for instance, have been angled offset up and to the rear, at the same time as the detailing of the lower grille has been enhanced. From head-on, the front forms an open, inviting “V”. The enlarged iron mark and the enlarged air intake reinforce the self-assured stance.

The shoulder line swings up towards the rear to give an impression of dynamism and reinforces the feeling of a protective collar around those travelling in the back of the 2012 Volvo C70. The Volvo C70 transforms smoothly from a cozy 2012 Volvo C70 coupe into an open 2012 Volvo C70 convertible. Just press a button and the three-piece steel roof folds away quickly (about 30 seconds) and silently, disappearing neatly into the boot.

2012 Volvo C70 Competitors

If there’s an area where the 2012 Volvo C70 convertible gives ground to other luxury convertibles, it would be acceleration and handling. While the turbocharged five-cylinder engine and comfort-tuned suspension are actually well matched to what most buyers want from a car like this, the 2012 Volvo C70 lacks the refinement found in the Audi A5 and BMW 3 Series.

The same could be said for the interior, which is stylish in a minimalist Swedish sort of way, but doesn’t exactly exude the same rich feeling as those German competitors. Still, the 2012 Volvo C70 price is cheaper than those models, while also being more practical than the sporty Infiniti G37 and refined Lexus IS C. So even in the face of several other worthwhile choices, the 2012 Volvo C70 offers a balance of style and substance that’s worth a look.
