Volvo C30 & C70 facelift pricing announced (UK)




Volvo has announced the new C30 range will kick off from £14,495 for the 1.6S - £1,000 cheaper than the '09 MY C30 entry-level 1.6 S, while the convertible C70 starts from £25,995 - with a £700 increase excluding the flagship model. The 1.6 SE and 1.6 R-Design have gone up by £750 to £16,245, the mid-ranking 2.0D SE has increased by £515 to 18,095 and the range-topping T5 R-Design now costs £20,235 - a £250 increase.

The C30 will be available in either S, SE, SE Lux and R-Design trims with the choice of six engines, including the efficient 108bhp 1.6 litre diesel that, thanks to the firm's DRIVe technology and the addition of stop/start, emits 99g/km CO2. Entry-level S trim includes electronic climate control, leather steering wheel & gearknob and alloy wheels.

The bigger C70 is available in just the S, SE and SE Lux trims with the choice of two diesels and two petrols. The base S comes with climate control, 16" wheels, cruise control and a premium sound system.

The £700 increase takes the cost of the entry-level 2.0D S to £25,995 and the best-selling D5 SE to £29,995. The price of the range-topping diesel D5 SE Lux Premium has increased by only £50, while the T5 SE Lux Premium is now £33,595 - £280 cheaper than the '09 MY C70.

Both revised Volvos go on sale in January 2010.
