2011 volvo c70 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Sleek new look for hardtop convertible. introductionstyling revisions give the volvo c70 a freshened appearance for 2011. The 2011 c70 gets a redesigned front fascia, grille, headlights, and front fenders. The nose of the 2011 volvo c70 is more wedge-shaped than last year's version, adding dimension. The rear fascia has also been restyled as well, and there are new led taillights. Inside, the instrument panel has been redesigned for 2011. the volvo c70 is a hardtop convertible. The c70 converts from coupe to roadster with the press of a button. Its folding steel roof deploys from the trunk and converts from open car to hard top in just 30 seconds. The engine, suspension and transmission are proven volvo components, while the rigid chassis was designed to meet volvo's industry-leading safety standards. we found the c70 to be an excellent highway cruiser, smooth and steady at high speeds. The c70 drives like a sports car. It has a solid feel and strikes an appropriate balance of responsive handling with a smooth, well-controlled ride quality and fade-resistant brakes. We found the 5-speed automatic crisp and responsive. the styling is brilliant, with elegant coupe lines, and the retractable hardtop is an engineering masterpiece. The cabin features comfortable seats, the latest in volvo interior styling and fabrics, and a clever cubby behind the center dash. The stereo sounds superb. The 2011 c70 comes as one model, the c70 t5. the 2011 c70 comes with more standard equipment than before.

The rollover protection system activates a pop-up roll bar in a roll-over situation. Optional are volvo's blind spot information system and rear park assist. walkaroundfor 2011, the styling was revised resulting in a more aggressive appearance. The new fascia, grille with enlarged iron mark and headlights display volvo's enhanced design language influenced by the revolutionary xc60 and upcoming next generation s60. Bodywork details such as the front fenders have also been redesigned for 2011, contributing to the new look. The 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 new headlights and the decor around the fog lights, for instance, have been angled upward and toward the rear while the detailing of the lower grille and new, larger air intake reinforce the self-assured stance. The high-tech led taillights, similar in function to those found on the xc60, are the most noticeable update at the rear for 2011. The entire light unit is clearly integrated with the oval that frames the enhanced c70's rear fascia. the volvo c70 roofline, developed in italy by pininfarina, is that of a coupe, and it's a very handsome coupe, with solid upward sweeping a-pillars and delicately thin and downward sweeping c-pillars. A soft ridge at the beltline sweeps all the way from headlight to taillight, accentuating the wedge, which is conspicuous but not bulky. In short, the c70 was not given a bulbous rear end in order to fit the convertible steel roof under its cover. The trunk lid is aluminum for reduced weight. when viewed from the front three-quarter angle, it's clear how short and smooth the hood and nose are, and how aerodynamic the package truly is. The headlamps gently lean inward toward the grille, as the foglamps under the headlamps surround the opening in the smooth fascia/bumper. The hoodline tapers elegantly down to the bottom of the fascia, inches above the road. The effect of the lower three openings is like a reflection of the headlamps and grille. as the roof retracts, it first elevates, and then slides back and stacks itself in its three sections before quietly submerging into the rear deck. Presto: with one button on the console, it's gone in 30 seconds. Up or down, it takes the same time. the structural safety features of the c70 take thousands of words to describe in detail. From top to bottom, front to rear, side to side, the chassis has been strengthened, tweaked, and made crushable where possible to dissipate energy in a crash. The c70 convertible more than compensates for the loss of the rigidity of a fixed roof; it's stiffer than the previous c70 coupe. The reinforced b pillars, normally connected by a roof, are connected on the c70 by one of five transverse frame members. This dissipates crash forces. The door sills are laser welded, and raised behind the b pillars. The doors have diagonal steel beams. The a-pillars use extra high-strength steel, and extend all the way down to the frame rails. interiorthe front bucket seats are ergonomically shaped and very comfortable. The front seats slide forward with the touch of a button to ease the boarding of passengers into the two rear seats. leather upholstery is standard on the 2011 c70. Standard is sovereign hide, but it's also available in off-black, calcite, cacao, or cranberry. the instrument panel has been redesigned for 2011, giving it a wider, sleeker look. The surface of the panel has a new texture that enhances the feeling of quality. The instruments are new, and the gauges and graphics are specific to the c70. volvo's flat-panel center stack fits in a world of flat panel computer monitors and television screens. It features a horizontal information screen over a column of buttons for radio and climate controls. There are storage compartments in the cabin, some of which are lockable, useful when the car is parked with the roof down. Other compartments can be locked with a separate key, when leaving the car with a parking attendant, for example. the trunk is small with the top down. The trunk has 12. 8 cubic feet of cargo space with the roof up, and about half that when it's retracted: enough room for two sets of golf clubs, says volvo. Golf club bags have to slide under the roof, so there's an electric mechanism called load-aid, which lifts the roof sections and window glass eight inches. There's also a hatch between the rear seats that allows long things like skis to be carried in the trunk, extending into the passenger compartment. the dynaudio system delivers vivid sound, so we recommend the multimedia package. The standard system includes an auxiliary input for ipods and other mp3 players, a usb port, and mp3 playback capability from the in-dash cd player. Sirius satellite radio is standard. the blind spot information system, or blis, includes cameras mounted in the side mirrors that detect vehicles approaching from behind, in daylight or darkness. When an approaching vehicle closes from behind and to either the left or right of the c70, the system activates one of two small amber lights mounted just inboard of the mirrors, calling the driver's attention to the situation. The blis option adds a power-retractable feature to protect these intelligent outside mirrors. driving impressiont.
