The Chicago C70 is a solid model for Volvo…The 2011 model will be out soon and it’s got a nice price tag, too!

According to reps from Volvo, the base price for the 2011 model will be around $4,000 less (starting around $39K) than the 2010 C70 that is equipped very much the same.  The C70 is a coupe/convertible with a retractable hardtop.

The exterior of the C70 has been redesigned with a new look not found on most Chicago Volvo used cars.  The front bumper/nose of the car has a 3-dimensional look, as some of the lines have been altered vertically and horizontally.  The car’s headlights have an attractive look, they are angled.   Moving to the rear, the bumper looks lower and incorporates the deep line look.

Safety features  make their way into this coupe.  The Chicago C70 has an Inflatable Curtain (IC) to protect drivers and passengers in case of a side collision or rollover.  The IC is found in the door and has a stiff design.  The curtain is placed in the door because the coupe does not have a roof rail.  It will help protect the head when the window is open.  Moreover, it doesn’t deflate rapidly, which helps provide protection if the car happens to roll over.  The IC is certainly a great safety feature a driver is lucky to have!

The 2011 C70 comes standard with a 5 cylinder, 227 HP turbocharged engine.  The transmission is automatic and has five speeds.  The C70 has a front wheel drive that is made great by the standard Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) system.  These systems put in place by Volvo help maximize the performance and safety of the auto.

The 2011 C70 will no doubt be a nice coupe to own with the added bonus of a convertible…Definitely getting the most for your money!  If this style isn’t your cup of tea, perhaps one of the Chicago Volvo used cars will suit your fancy?!?!
