2013 Volvo C70

The 2013 Volvo C70 hardtop convertible turns any road into an outdoor adventure. At the touch of a button, the three-piece retractable hardtop of this turbocharged coupe magically disappears into the trunk.

For 2013, customers can select the well-appointed C70, which gains standard rain sensor windshield wipers and headlight washers, or add more comfort, convenience and technology.

The Premier Plus trim level includes LED daytime running lights, Keyless Drive, Homelink, rear park assist and an integrated compass for the auto-dimming rear view mirror. While the Platinum trim features all the contents of Premier Plus, and adds Volvo Premium Sound and Navigation systems.

Driving pleasure excels in the C70 with its standard turbocharged T5 engine mated to a five-speed "Geartronic" automatic transmission. Output for the 2.5-liter light-pressure turbo powerplant is 227 horsepower with torque at 236 lb.-ft.

Engine enhancements provided in the Inscription Package can increase the enjoyment factor of any C70. Polestar performance products optimized the output of the C70's engine by performance tuning the Engine Control Module. More air and fuel are funneled into the combustion chambers and spark timing is advanced, creating notable performance improvement. Thus the turbocharged T5 engine generates 250 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque.

Customers retain the flexibility to add the C70's Climate and Dynamic packages to any trim level. Individual items from the list of stand-alone options include Black Oak inlays, giving the cabin the warm look of real wood on the ultra-slim center control panel, center console and door handle surrounds. Sovereign Hide leather is standard on all C70 trim levels.
