Distinctive design features

The Volvo C30 was easy to spot thanks to its highly distinctive exterior design. What perhaps made the design so unique was the panoramic glass tailgate, which provided almost unobstructed rear visibility for all passengers. This, combined with a bold front, gave the C30 a modern and stylish look.

Four individual seats

Unlike many other hatchbacks that had a conventional "bench" seat for rear passengers, the Volvo C30 had four individual seats. This meant a comfortable ride for everyone in the car, making long journeys easier and more enjoyable for all.

Easy to personalise

The Volvo C30 was a modern car for modern city dwellers with an active lifestyle and an interest in exciting design. This was also reflected in the possibilities for tailoring the car to one's own taste. For example, you could choose from a wide range of exterior colours, a sporty body kit, an Accessory Body Kit, and, of course, customise the interior.

Equipped with many safety features

With the C30, you have many of the well-known Volvo safety features, such as the SIPS side impact protection system and WHIPS, which helps reduce the risk of whiplash injuries if you are rear-ended. The Volvo C30 was also equipped with safety features such as a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), which warned drivers of vehicles in their blind spot, and the rounded front had a spoiler under the bumper that helped reduce the risk of leg injuries if a pedestrian or cyclist were to be hit by the car.

Available in several variants

The Volvo C30 was also launched in a more environmentally friendly variant, called the C30 DRIVe. This model was equipped with start-stop technology and other modifications to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Our commitment to the environment and sustainability has always been important to us. It will continue to be so in the future as we aim to transition to a fully electric fleet of cars.
