2008 Volvo C30

2008 Volvo C30 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Volvo C30

The Volvo C30 is a four-passenger two-door hatchback that is the smallest and quickest vehicle in the automaker's line. It's expected to attract the brand's youngest buyers. The C30 shares platforms and components with the S40 sedan and V50 wagon, but is shorter overall. Offered in Version 1.0 and 2.0 models, it packs a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine for spirited acceleration with a choice of a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Performance is appropriately sporty, with the Version 2.0 adding a stiffer suspension for added cornering abilities. Many features are standard, and the car can be personalized to the extreme with an extensive customization program.
