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 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 CO2 per 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.

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 starters, 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 very 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.

technology, this lowers your CO2 emissions and helps you travel
further on less fuel.

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 CO2 emissions 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.

Adapt ive brake li ght

Active at speeds above 50 km/h, the adaptive brake light can
sense the difference between normal and panic braking. If it is
a panic situation, all the brake light s will flash at a rate of four
times per second. Once your speed slows to below 10 km/h, the
lights stop flashing and hazard light s flash instead. Using LED
technology that needs less time to light up than regular bulbs,
traffic behind you can react sooner.

SAFETY

At the core of every car we make, state-of-the-art technology helps support the driver and
protect the occupants. And to further enhance the Volvo safety experience, there’s a range of
supplementary safety technology – for more performance and peace of mind.

SAFET Y Preventive

Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS)

To help avoid distractions during critical driving situations, IDIS constantly analyses your driving and will
delay secondar y information from the car or one of its onboard systems – such as the GSM phone – when
it detects intense steering, braking or acceleration. As soon as things calm down, the phone call or the
delayed information is presented. IDIS can be set up to let GSM calls through in all driving situations.

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, DSTC, enhances driving
stability and helps you maintain traction in a wide range of situations.
At the core of DSTC , a gyroscope senses the car’s direction and
compares this with steering wheel movements as well as the ac tua l
rotation of the c ar’s wheels. DSTC is able to detec t a potentia l
skid and help counteract one by reducing the engine’s power
output, or braking on one or more wheels.

Active Bending Lights (ABL)

Compared t o conventiona l halogen headlamps, Active Bending
Lights use Dual Xenon technology to expand your vision range by
about 230%. This means you’ll be helped to gain 45 metres more
for braking. And using motorised lamps that turn up to 15° in either
direction, this technology gives a 90% boost to your vision round
bends at night. You can enjoy highly effective low beam illumination
on narrow, winding roads and ext remely powerful full beams on
the motorway. A daylight sensor disengages the adaptive function
during daytime to extend its lifespan. Independent of the load,
these headlights self-adjust to maintain the correct angle to the
road – even during hard acceleration or braking.

51

SAFET Y Protective

In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s not the number
of safety features that determines how safe a car is. It’s how well they
seamlessly interact to help keep the occupants out of harm’s way.

In a rear impact the rear deformation zones will
help absorb crash energy. The fuel t ank is designed
to remain well protected in front of the rear axle. The
head restraints help protect the neck a nd spine,
and Volvo’s unique Whiplash Protec tion System
(WHIP S) cradles the front seat occupants i n a
controlled manner to help prevent whiplash injuries.

In a side impact Volvo’s unique Side Impact
Protection System (SIPS) helps distribute the
crash forces across the car’s body, away from the
occupants. The side airbags in the front seats help
protec t the chest and hip, while t he Inflat ab le
Curtain (IC) adds head protection.

In a roll- over the robust safety cage and the
reinforced roof structure together with the safet y
belts and belt pre-tensioners will help protect the
occupants. If the car firs t has been hit from the
side, t he Inflatable Curt ain (IC) deploys to help
provide head protection.

In a frontal collision the patented frontal structure
will yield to help absorb and disperse crash energy.
The compact powertrain is designed to help optimise
deformation. Inside the car, safet y belt s interact
with the collapsible steering column and dual-stage
airbags to help keep the occupants out of harm’s way.

52

Whiplash Protec tion System ( WHIPS)

Integrated in the front seats, Volvo’s WHIPS
cradles the occupant to help reduce the risk of
whiplash injury (one of the most common types
of traffic injury and often the result of a low-speed
rear impact collision). The function is activated
by a collision of suf ficient force from behind.
Independent research has shown that WHIPS is
one of the most ef fective systems in the world
and can reduce the risk of long-term invalidity
by 50%.

Passenge r airbag cut-of f switch

This switch allows you to disengage the passenger airbag using the car key. When the airbag is switched
off, you are notified via a message in the roof console display. The force of the passenger airbag is
designed to help protect adults – children risk serious injury. Therefore, the airbag must first be disengaged
if you intend to put a person shorter than 140 cm in the front passenger seat.

Energy-absorbing frontal struc ture

Volvo’s patented frontal structure is built with several types of steel to allow optimal deformation – outer
layers are more yielding, while steel closer to the cabin is more resilient . This structure helps absorb the
impact of a collision before it reaches the occupants. The compact powertrain is designed to help
optimise deformation. The unique geometry of the frontal structure and longitudinal steel struts in the
doors help disperse crash energy away from the front to the rear of the car, further helping to reduce
the strain on the occupants. A steel strut under the dashboard helps prevent components in the engine
bay from intruding into the cabin. This also helps protect legs and feet.

Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)

SIPS is a Volvo unique safety system that has been developed to help protect where occupants are most
exposed to the crash forces. The steel framework of the car – including the front seats – is designed
and reinforced to help displace the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of
the car body and help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The side structure is extremely s trong to help
withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain (IC) for all the occupants
and the front seat side airbags interact to help provide further protection.

SAFET Y Child safety

SAFET Y Protective

Rest raint technologies
In a collision, Volvo’s restraint technologies interact to help reduce the impact. The safety belts with
pre-tensioners activate within a few thousandths of a second in the event of a collision or roll-over and

tighten the belt to help keep the occupants securely restrained. The front seat safet y belts then release
a little so that the driver and passenger are cushioned by the airbags in a controlled manner. Helping to
optimise protection, the dual-stage airbags adapt the level of inflation depending on the force of the
collision. The driver’s airbag also interacts with the deformation of the collapsible steering column. Side

airbags in the front seats help reduce the risk of serious injuries in a side collision. The Inflatable
Curtain (IC) helps protect the heads of both front and rear outboard occupants. It also stays inflated for

some seconds to provide prolonged protection for subsequent impacts.

Volvo’s child safety programme

To further enhance protection for children, we offer a child safety programme that is among the most
comprehensive in the car world . Because infants have larg e heads and weak necks*, we know that a
child up to the age of 3–4 travels most safely facing the rear. Volvo’s rear-facing child seats help provide
maximum protection in a wide range of collisions. Children who have outgrown the child seat travel most
safely seated on a booster seat, secured with the car’s safety belt.

* In a frontal collision at 50 km/h, the head of a six-month infant c an be exposed to forces cor responding to a load of 100 kg!

Please n ote: If the front passenger seat airbag is switched on, children under 140 cm in height should n ever be seated
in the front seat – not in conjunction with a child seat, a booster cushion or under any other circumstances.

adjusted. The headrest is padded for a comfor table sleep
and there’s a canopy to block the sun. What’s more, the
infant seat is easy to carry and can be used as a babysit ter.

u Conver tible c hild seat (9–25 kg)

From the age of 9 months to about 6 years of age a child
can continue to be seated backwards in this new child seat.
Advanced design helps provide world-class protection
and flexib le seating for many years. The seat is fitted

optimise comfor t and safety. An integrated suppor t leg
helps facilitate safe backward installation. We recommend
that children be seated backwards as long as possible.
But when a child grows bigger (15–25 kg) and can not
comfor ta bly be seated facing to the rear, this seat can
also be used as a forward-facing booster cushion that puts
a child at the correct position for the car’s safety belt.

D2, four-cylinder turbodiesel (115 hp)
DRIVe, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (109 hp)

Take advantage of the benefits of supreme fuel economy (3.8 l/100 km) and ultra-low CO2 emissions
(99 g/km) without any trade-offs in comfort, safety or performance. Volvo’s 1.6-litre turbodiesel DRIVe
features advanced Start/Stop technology and brake energy regeneration. Helping you to save precious
fuel drops in stop-and-go city traffic, the engine shuts off when you put the gear in neutral at a standstill
and instantly restarts at the press of the clutch pedal. A gearshift indicator helps you drive the most

Five- or six-spee d manual transmission

The five- or six-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox offers fluid and precise gear selection. The sixth
gear further improves comfor t and fuel economy on the motorway. The smooth action of the clutch
assures that you move off with confidence and grace.

Five- or six-spee d Geartronic automatic transmission

For the best of two worlds, there’s the five- or six-speed Geartronic – a responsive automatic that ’s ideal
for relaxed driving, tough conditions or towing . This also allows manual gear shifting so you can maintain
a lower gear to bring up the revs or for the added assistance of engine braking. A special winter setting
makes it easier to move off and maintain grip on slippery surfaces.

Chassis

The wide wheelbase and the advanced chassis promote balanced handling and a high level of comfort. The
rigid body enables the Multi-link rear and McPherson spring strut front suspension to cope predictably
and consistently with all types of roads. The front and rear suspensions also interact to provide stable
braking and smooth steering. In a curve, the rear wheels have a slight steering facility for added stability
and steering response.

Sports chassis

This optional sport chassis will enhance C30’s driving pleasure and inspire you as a driver. Improved
bod y control, quicker and more precise steering result in a flat ride with crisp steering feel and response
– without compromising on comfort or load capacity. It lowers the car by 10 mm and includes 30% stiffer
springs, specially-adapted shock absorbers, stiffer bushings, sport-tuned front and rear anti-roll bars and
a higher steering gear ratio. You will enjoy curv y roads like you have never done before. Fun-to-drive
reaches a new level.

PERFORMANCE Chassis

Start /Stop technology with brake energy regeneration

To further reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions with up
to 8% when driving in the city, the DRIVe turbodiesel features
Volvo’s Start/Stop technology. Once the engine is warmed up
and the car comes to a st andstill (for example at a traffic light)
where you put the gear in neutral and release the clutch, the
engine automatically shuts off. And instantly as you press the
clutch pedal, the engine restarts and you’re on the go. An extra
battery ensures that all infotainment and comfort systems will
function as usual even with the engine shut off. What’s more,
intelligent brake kinetic energy regeneration further optimises
fuel efficiency and performance in all driving conditions. As soon
as you brake or release the accelerator while a gear is engaged,
the alternator harnesses the car’s kinetic energy and feeds it
into the batter y to reduce fuel consumption with an extra 2–3%.
And when you accelerate, the alternator decouples to free the
engine for maximum performance when you need it. The Start/
Stop system can be deactivated with a push of a button in the
centre console and is active between 0° and 30° C.
