New efficient C30 from Volvo
20 August 2007 The C30 Efficiency is powered by a 1.6-litre turbodiesel, but by incorporating a range of aerodynamic tweaks, introducing higher gearing and improving powertrain efficiency, the car can achieve 62.8mpg on average and carbon dioxide emissions of less than 120g/km. That compares with the 57.6mpg and 129g/km of carbon dioxide of a conventional C30 1.6 D. With its sub-120g/km emissions, the C30 Efficiency is Volvo's first car to fall into VED tax band B. The C30 Efficiency has a new roof spoiler, rear bumper and 16-inch wheels. The gearbox has higher gearing in third, fourth and fifth gears, while low-friction tyres and transmission oil help to improve efficiency and decrease emissions. The C30 Efficiency will be on sale here next year, although there's no word yet on exactly when. |
