C70 for Ireland in April



The new Volvo C70 retractable hardtop, which replaces the former 70 series coupe and cabriolet, goes on sale in Ireland in April at a starting price of €51,750. The top of the range version will sell for €62,950.

It will be available in three levels of specification and with a range of engines based on the 2436cc and 2521cc 5-cylinder units already familiar to Volvo owners.

Power outputs will be 170bhp and 220bhp, and a 180bhp will come available shortly after launch.

Five- and six-speed manual gearboxes are used, depending on engine, and a 5-speed Geartronic automatic is available on all variants.
