There’s more to life than a Volvo.
That’s why the Volvo C30 has as many
looks as you do. That’s why there are
more personalisation opportunities
than ever before. That’s why we offer
the Volvo C30 DRIve start/stop with
best-in-class CO2 emissions. That’s why
this four-seater is a world leader.
That’s why your individuality couldn’t
be in a safer place. That’s why you
drive one.

It’s different. But that’s
not the only benefit.
Nature makes sure we all start out unique. And the Volvo C30 can
help you stay that way. First-class comfort, world-class safety and
elegant Scandinavian design are all part of the special Volvo DNA
and instantly apparent here. At first glance you’ll notice unique
Volvo design details such as the bigger, bolder iron mark on a
larger, trapezoidal grill, aggressive headlamps that sweep back
gracefully, yet peer out protectively and demonstrative rear lamps
that include state-of-the-art Adaptive brake light that warn cars
behind when you brake harder than normal. Add to that exceptional
road holding and scores of exterior and interior customisation
possibilities – including the sporty R-d e s i g n trim – and you’ll
discover the Volvo C30 is highly qualified to protect you and yours
– especially from boredom.

Fun does not stay home at night. It is not a limited resource.
And there is no embargo against it. Practically speaking then,
fun is the way to go. And that ’s good news for us because
with wheels at the corners, a frame of high torsional-rigidity,
and a suspension that deftly masters quick corners as well as
long commutes, the Volvo C30 swiftly liberates fun from the
confines of the ordinary and fundamental – and keeps it going,
24/7/365. What’s more, insist on the new sport chassis and
the inherent agility of this car becomes even more assertive.

Dream, yes. Sleep, no.
Dream now about your new Volvo C30. Once you get behind the wheel there will be no
time for naps. The engine you choose – whether petrol, Flexifuel or diesel – is built to power
your vision a long way past the ordinary. What’s more, every Volvo engine is engineered to
respond instantly so spontaneous adventures never have to wait. Better get some rest now.

One good turn
deserves another.
The excellent handling characteristics of this car are made even
more responsive when you choose the lowered sports chassis.
Its stiffer springs, stiffer bushings, and sport-tuned roll bars make
it easy to establish a fondness for the roads you travel. Along
the way, you may discover a few favourite turns that always seem
happy to see you, too. By all means, downshift and say hello.

Do the green light proud.
240 Nm of maximum torque makes it easy to believe green is the way to
go. Yet, the source of this power, a modified 1.6 litre turbodiesel with
start/stop technology, uses barely 3.8 litres of fuel every 100 kilometres
while emitting only 99 grams of CO2per kilometre. These numbers help
the Volvo C30 DRIVe Start/Stop achieve eco-car status, but it might be
the aerodynamic enhancements – from the special tyres, wheels and
grill to the roof spoiler and even the under-carriage – that make sure
this hyper-efficient automobile is even friendlier to the environment and
more fun to drive.

Buckle up.
Settle in to one of the world’s most comfortable
driver’s seats and you’ll find everything you
need close at hand. The unique floating centre
console presents intuitive controls for the
infotainment and climate systems and is available
in a variety of finishes including Volvo’s real
wood and real aluminium inlays. Twenty-eight
different interior upholstery variants with multiple
trim combinations are also available including
Volvo’s genuine leather. The overall effect is
stimulating, yet the modern Scandinavian design
also invites you to relax – while wearing the
stylish 3-point safety belt Volvo invented for
you, of course.

Lean back.
The seats in your Volvo C30 are an extremely
comfortable example of ergonomic excellence.
In fact, year after year Volvo seats are said to
be the most comfortable in the automobile industry.
Part of that comfort, we believe, comes from riding
in one of the safest cars on the road. In this car,
with four seats, no one rides the hump. The back
seats – set closer together for a better view forward
– have a VIP lounge feeling with a centre armrest,
tilted backrests and convenient amenities such
as side storage and a clever table that is the
flip-side of the front-centre armrest.

Improvise.
Modern physics suggests a certain amount of fundamental
randomness in the universe, which makes the versatile
Volvo C30 perfect for impromptu shopping. Like every
Volvo, this car is built to provide an intelligent mix of
performance and practicality. For example, the seating
and storage configurations are flexible enough to provide
876 litres of loading capacity as well as a flat cargo space
almost 150 cm long. Of course, roof-mounted carrying
accessories are also available and, if you’re really serious
about shopping, a tow bar might be an option.

Fun knows where more fun is.
In a car that’s fun to drive, being stuck in traffic is suboptimum. Of course, the
audio system in the floating centre console can provide plenty of amusement,
at any speed, but it’s the Road Traffic Information system that can really help
keep the fun rolling. In addition to its helpful GPS navigation functionality, the
RTI system can help you avoid traffic delays via TMC radio data broadcasts
(the global Traffic Message Channel). If there is a significant delay, your RTI
system will suggest alternate routes. Detailed maps are stored on a hard disk,
easily updated by DVD and easy to search for data, information, knowledge,
understanding, wisdom – or just directions to a party.

Be quiet, tomorrow.
Music is life. And Volvo’s modern sound systems are among the best
in class – especially with the latest generation of Dolby®Pro Logic®
II Surround and extremely efficient digital Class D amplification.
The Dolby®Pro Logic®II Surround utilises a centre loudspeaker
and sophisticated sound processing calibrated especially for the
interior of the Volvo C30. This system ensures that every passenger
enjoys a well-balanced stereo presence regardless of seating position
– a remarkable achievement considering how nobody sits in the
middle of the car. Connect your iPod®or USB player and your
playlists are easy to select and your music is ready
to travel, non-stop.

Avoid accidents even
when parked.
Volvo safety doesn’t stop when you park your car. With Approach
Lighting, your car can be illuminated, inside and out, using your remote
control as you approach your car and with Home Safe Lighting,
you can also activate a dipped beam with the headlight stalk as
you leave your car. This feature can be especially convenient when
your personal celebrity spotlight operator has the night off. And
with keyless drive, the doors will unlock as you grasp the handle
– like magic – and you can start the car without inserting the
key (as long as you have the key in your pocket or purse).

There’s more to life than a volvo. That’s why we design our
cars to support you in any situation on the road. That’s why
our safety technology has pushed automotive development for
more than eighty years. That’s why we aim for a future where
cars don’t crash. That’s why we lead the way to zero emissions,
and offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of
low CO2 alternatives. And there are all the reasons in the world
to move the boundaries for what’s possible and what’s not.
That’s why we innovate for life.

Innovated for your enjoyment,
the Volvo safety technologies
will protect more than the fun
of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because
few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment
for safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us
extremely proud. But we’re not satisfied. Because we know what we want to
achieve: zero accidents. This huge task calls for innovative thinking and a brand
new approach to the way we design cars. Good news is we’ve already come a
long way. For star ters, our cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever
(because a bored driver will never be a safe driver). Neither is the technology
needed any figment of the imagination – some is already available in your Volvo.
This means driving a Volvo today is like having a first peek at a ver y exciting
automotive future – a future where passionate engineering and design do more
to help you get the most out of life.
After all, there’s more to life than a Volvo.

monoxide , hydrocarbons and ni trogen oxides from petrol
engine exhaust gases. T he Volvo turbodiesels feature a
particulate filter that removes about 95% of the particles
from the diesel exhaust gases.
Maximised fuel efficiency with diesel.
Volvo’s advanced common-rail turbodiesel technology
ensures superior fuel economy and low CO2emissions
– from the 109 hp DR IVe St ar t/Stop to the new
177 hp D4. Allergy-tested interior materials.
All our upholsteries and interior textiles are
tested for certain allergy-inducing or harmful
substances and comply with Oeko-Tex Standard
100. And several interior metal details are tested
with regard to co ntact allerg ies . Good for you,
and for anyone who shares your ride.
FRESH cabin air.
Cont inuously m onitoring incoming air and
shutting out carbon monoxide, ground-level
ozone and nitrogen dioxide, Volvo’s Interior Air
Quality System helps ensure that the air you
breathe in the car is cleaner than that outside
when driving in heavy city traffic.
Eco driving support
Displaying when it’s optimum to shift gear, the
gear shift indicator in the DRIVe variants helps
you save fuel and reduce your CO2emissions.

Flexifuel for lower fossil CO2 emissions.
Running on E85 bio ethanol in a Volvo Flexifuel (2.0F), you can
sig nif icantly cu t you r gre enh ous e gas emissi ons . Be cau se
bioethanol is a renewable fuel, the car bon dioxide emissions
from co mbustion are already par t of the e cosystem and won’t
contribute to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance, we utilise
advance d aerodynamic des ign , light-weight mate ria ls and
low-friction technology. Together with state-of-the-art en gine
technology, this lowers your CO2emissions and helps you travel
further on less fuel.
Brake for energy.
Driving any of the tur bodiesels , the battery
is fed with extra power ever ytime you bra ke.
Smar t and fuel-saving.
Designed to catch the light
brilliantly, this car also reflects
a promise.
Thankfully, the automotive industry is moving away from fantasyland to the real world.
Our journey towards a better environment started already in the early 70’s. Then we were
among the first carmakers to acknowledge the environmental downside of cars and to do
something about it. Since then we are constantly innovating to reduce the environmental
impact of the cars and how we make them.
Today’s biggest challenge is, of course, to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that cause
climate change. Today we offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of low CO2
alternatives: the Volvo DRIVe variants. Utilising innovative powertrain technology together
with advanced aerodynamics, low friction technology and lightweight materials, the DRIVe
range is an important step towards zero emissions.
In near future we will introduce new technology such as plug-in hybrid vehicles that will
further reduce CO2emissions and can be charged from a standard wall socket. And we’re
heavily engaged in the development of electrical vehicles – a technology that will dramatically
reduce the environmental footprint of our cars and make them even more fun to drive.
Good for you, and for the world we share.
