2011 Volvo C30 T-5 Performance

2011-volvo-c30-T-5
2011 Volvo C30 T-5
Volvo C30 is based on the Ford C1 platform, so there were no surprises that the C30's drive felt unnervingly similar to the Focus. The chunky feel of the driving instruments and the firm, but not uncomfortable seat are practically identical between the Ford and the Volvo. So much so that if I closed my eyes I would be hard-pushed to recognize which one I was in. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, as has been proved many times, the Focus is a great drive for a great price. So to split these two apart, price may be the deciding factor.


2011-volvo-c30-T-5
2011 Volvo C30 T-5

The Volvo C30 starts off at around £14,995, which is a slightly awkward price given that a similar spec on the Focus comes in at around 3-4 grand cheaper. Here we have two relatively identical cars, yet such a gulf in price. It's no wonder that the Focus has got such a stranglehold over the competition. The question begs then, what are you paying all that extra money for? It's not the badge surely? It's definitely not a load of extras. So what precisely is it?


2011-volvo-c30-T-5
2011 Volvo C30 T-5

The answer is quite simply safety; one word that sums up the entire Volvo modus operandi. For 70 years now Volvo have been slowly but surely building an enviable reputation for immense safety and one which is backed up by industry accreditation's. The extra mark-up on the Volvo C30 would be explained by an executive as "not wanting to put a price on your safety" or some such drivel, but they may have a point. The strengthen bodywork has been rigorously tested to make sure that in the event of an impact, the occupants of the vehicle are as safe as they would be in a nuclear bunker (well maybe not quite). If you are paranoid about fellow drivers not being as cautious as you behind the wheel, the extra promise of safety could well swing your decision in favour of the Volvo C30 over the Focus.

2010 Volvo FH16 700 Trucks

Volvo FH16 700 Trucks 1Volvo Trucks is launching the world’s most powerful series-manufactured truck. The Volvo FH16 with 700 hp and 3150 Nm of torque.


Volvo FH16 700 Trucks 2Volvo Trucks is the first manufacturer in the world to be able to put a 700 hp badge on its vehicles. The truck model in question is the company’s flagship, the Volvo FH16, which to date has had a maximum power output of 660 hp.

Volvo FH16 700 Trucks 3“The Volvo FH16 is intended for the very heaviest and most demanding of transport operations. It is also a highly prestigious truck for the customer who is looking for something truly out of the ordinary. And with 700 hp, the Volvo FH16 sets itself apart from everything else in the industry,” says Staffan Jufors, President and CEO of Volvo Trucks.

Volvo FH16 700 Trucks 4With higher power, one might well expect that fuel consumption would head in the same direction, but that is not the case.
“Our aim is to have both the best performance and the best fuel economy in the segment. We have succeeded in keeping fuel consumption the same as before despite the power increase. In a comparison with the competition, we are doing very well indeed,” reveals Staffan Jufors.

The Volvo FH16 is certified for the new Euro 5 European emission requirements that come into force in autumn 2009, which means that emissions of nitrogen oxide have been cut by more than 40 percent. In other words, the Volvo FH16 has become even more powerful but without compromising on the environment. In addition to the 700 hp version the Volvo FH16 is also available in variants producing 540 and 600 hp respectively.

SUV Jeep Car: Volvo XC60 SUV car

Volvo XC60 SUV Car FrontVolvo's new crossover vehicle boasts an exciting mix of two car styles and steps boldly into what is the motoring world's toughest and fastest-growing segment. Sports XC muscles, it combines a strong athletic body with high ground clearance and large wheels, while the flowing lines create a sporty charisma of a coupe.


Volvo XC60 SUV Car Side
“This car is charged with more emotive form and more energy than any other Volvo. We’re elevating our design DNA to an entirely new level by literally turning up the visual volume. If you say that you’d recognise a Volvo from a hundred metres away today, I dare say the Volvo XC60 radiates a clear Volvo presence from at least twice that distance,” says Volvo Cars Design Director Steve Mattin.

A variety of intelligent safety systems are another important part of the new Volvo XC60. The major news is City Safety – a unique system that can help the driver avoid or reduce the effects of the type of low-speed impacts that are common in city traffic and traffic tailbacks. If the car is about to drive into the vehicle in front and the driver does not react, the car brakes itself.

“We are the first manufacturer in the world to offer this type of feature as standard. City Safety clearly shows that the new Volvo XC60 is the safest car Volvo has ever produced. The car is packed with our accumulated safety know-how and technology, both when it comes to preventing accidents and protecting all the occupants in a collision,” says Fredrik Arp.

The XC60 project has its sights set on a target group that imposes high demands on design, brand integrity and high-tech content in its choice of lifestyle products.

“One might say that this could be the C30 owner’s next car. It’s as sporty and exciting, but more capable. With the Volvo XC60, we are widening our model range to attract even more customers with an active urban lifestyle,” explains Fredrik Arp.

The new XC60 is being launched with a choice of three engines: the turbocharged T6 which produces 285PS, and two variants of the D5 turbodiesel, producing 185 and 163 horsepower respectively. All- Wheel Drive (AWD) is fitted as standard.

“During 2009, we will offer a front-wheel driven 2.4-litre version powered by a Euro 5 diesel engine producing 163 horsepower and with a CO2 target around 170 g/km,” reveals Fredrik Arp.

The global sales target for the new XC60 is over 50,000 cars per year. The five largest markets during peak year 2010 will be the USA, Germany, Great Britain, Russia and China. The Volvo XC60 will be built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. Sales of the car will start in Europe during the second half of 2008, while sales in North America will get under way in early 2009. The new XC60 will arrive in UK dealer showrooms in October.
