Volvo launches C30 in the Middle East

This baby can release up to 230 horsepower and will be the ideal buy for anyone adventurous between 25 and 35. It certainly takes personalization to a new level. The body kit can be combined with a lowered sport chassis and 18" wheels.

Available in many colors, it creates a wide range of possibilities for exciting personal combinations such as Cosmic White Pearl exterior, equipped with a Brown Java Pearl body kit. The two-door compact model will be available in an entirely new exterior color scheme such as Gecko Green pearl, Matt Gold pearl or Chameleon Blue pearl. The hip and trendy attitude of the new Volvo C30 is further highlighted by the impressively large rear window, the only model in its segment to include such a feature.

Greg Maruszewski, General Manager Volvo Cars Middle East said: "We expect the Volvo C30 to make us more accessible to younger audiences. This is a perfect marriage of sport, beauty, comfort and safety. This car incorporates the latest safety features such as the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), which uses cameras mounted in the side door mirror to register if another vehicle is in the blind spot. This is part of a policy of encouraging safe driving."

To further enhance the young and trendy attitude of the car, a range of three high-end audio systems: Performance, High Performance and Premium Sound will be available. These different systems will offer the possibility to play different music formats such as MP3 and WMA files. An adaptor to plug in auxiliary devices like iPods or flash drives will also be included amongst the many options of the C30.

Keeping in mind Volvo's concern for the environment the new model also features a filter system through which the air entering the car is filtered.

The new Volvo is available in three versions in the Middle East, T5 (2.5 litres) Turbo charged Engine, 2.4i and 1.6.
