Interior that rewards the driver
The interior has been updated in several respects to create a unique ambience in the Volvo C70. The instrument panel has been redesigned, giving it a wider, sleeker look and the surface of the panel has a new texture that enhances the feeling of quality.
The exclusive new instrument panel, with gauges and graphics specific to the C70, are yet another example of how the car's premium feel has been emphasized further.
"We've focused the new interior features around the driver to give the owner a stronger perception of being rewarded behind the wheel. The seats are upholstered in a new type of soft hide and there is even better detail finish to make driving a more pleasurable experience than ever before," continues Talsma.
World-leading safety among convertibles
The new Volvo C70 has been engineered as one of the safest convertibles on the market, providing both preventive and protective safety. The car has an advanced body structure and several features that are unique in the convertible segment. For collision protection, the lack of a fixed roof has been compensated by structural reinforcements and sophisticated technology.
Protection in a roll-over
The Volvo C70 has sturdy metal hoops that extend behind the rear seat passengers to create added protective survival space should the car roll over. These hoops, which are part of the Volvo Rollover Protection System (ROPS) are activated by a gyro-sensor. Since the Volvo C70 has a glass rear window, the hoops have small spikes that will break the glass to guarantee proper protective function if the roof is up.
Unique door-mounted inflatable curtain
One important part of the side-impact and rollover protection is the inflatable curtain, which are installed in the doors. The curtain has an extra-stiff design featuring twin rows of offset panels that help it remain upright and protect the head if the windows are open. What is more, the curtains deflate slowly, helping to provide added protection should the car roll over.
Side-impact airbags and safety belt pre-tensioners for all seats
In addition to the inflatable curtains on either side, the front seat occupants also have side-impact airbags. The side airbags are large enough to shield both the chest and hips. What is more, the inflatable curtain interacts with the belt pre-tensioners to contribute to the best possible protection for front seat occupants in a side impact or rollover situation. All four seats come with safety belt pre-tensioners.
