The Volvo C30 made its debut in 2006, went on sale in Canada in 2007 and was produced in a single generation until 2013. The sport-compact Volvo C30 was available with turbocharged four- and five-cylinder engines with power going to the front wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission. The majority of the C30s imported into North America were fitted with the automatic. The Volvo C30 gained a positive reputation with journalists for its sporty handling, luxury materials and build quality.
Performance, practicality and safety
On top of its sporty characteristics, the Volvo C30 was also praised for its practicality and trademark Volvo safety features. Featuring an airy cabin that allows for excellent visibility as well as ABS, traction control and stability control as standard, the C30 was one of the first production cars to offer a blind-spot warning system. Designed with a strong steel chassis, with areas designed to deform around the passenger cell, the C30 came equipped with six airbags for driver and passengers. The Volvo C30 was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick for every year it was on sale, and its rear seats fold flat to allow for increased storage.
Volvo C30 rivals
The Volvo C30 features stiff competition in its segment in the form of the Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Golf and Hyundai Veloster, with each providing its own advantages and drawbacks.
