Like the C30, the C70 shares its mechanical and structural elements with the S40 and V50 models. It is offered as a retractable hard-top coupe-convertible. The top, made of three panels, automatically retracts into the trunk. Luxurious and powerful, the C70 is equipped with a turbo five-cylinder engine with a 227 horsepower output. On the road, the car is comfortable and pleasant to drive, but disappoints while accelerating because of a strong torque effect.
