Volvo now has a diesel version of its C70 convertible hard-top, using the 180hp D5 engine and a standard Geartronic automatic.
The engine produces 350Nm of torque, and can achieve a fuel consumption of 7.3 L/100km on the combined cycle.
The 2.4-litre 5-cylinder engine is a familiar one in the Volvo cars range, being used in various stages of tune from the S40 through to the XC90 SUV.
