What do Volvo cars mean to you? They're Swedish, they're safe and they tend to be a little bit boxy. If that roughly sums up your knowledge of the brand, it's about time you gave it another chance. For a long time Volvo did appear to be trapped in a square prison from a design standpoint but things changed and the C30 hatchback was as instrumental as any model in changing them. The C30 is certainly Swedish and it's very safe but its designers were clearly thinking well outside the box.
The C30 was Volvo's attempt at cashing in on the burgeoning market for premium hatchbacks. That's family hatchback sized cars with premium badges and, hopefully, more of an upmarket theme. The major players in this sector have traditionally been the BMW 1 Series and the Audi A3 but Volvo believed it could muscle in with an overtly sporty little number of its own. The C30's sleek lines borrow heavily from the P1800 ES, the Volvo used by Roger Moore in the original Sixties TV series of 'The Saint', though also employ a big modern twist.
History
The C30 emerged with a comprehensive engine range right off the bat. There was nothing new about any of the units with Volvo simply using the powerplants from its S40 saloon and V50 estate ranges. Petrol-wise, there were 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 litre options but buyers could also opt for the fiery performance of the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine or take a more environmentally-friendly route with a version of the 1.8 which could run on E85 bio ethanol. Diesel customers had 1.6D, 2.0D and 2.4D engines to consider.
When the car was launched in October 2006, the trim levels were S, SE, SE Sport and SE Lux but these were later supplemented by the slick looking R-Design variants. The R-Design Sport and R-Design SE Sport models were introduced in July 2007 with more extrovert body-styling kits and sporty interior trim upgrades. They gave the C30 a useful dose of extra attitude. Late in 2008, Volvo announced the eco-friendly DRIVe version of the 1.6D model.

Still have 2012 R-Design 2.0 Petrol. Absolutely love it!
No issues with that "legendary" Mazda L engine?
@@staLkerhu I would said if you maintain properly you don’t have issues.
I mean drive under 3000 RPM for first 10-15 minutes. Do major service every 8000/9000 miles. Avoid E10 fuel, use injection cleaner three times a year.
I recommend also to use TEC2000 engine flush every second service and every third service use LM Ceratec.
After 100K miles it would be good to check condition of chain and tensioners.
This schedule works for me.
Have you driven any of the 1.6 engines on the volvo c30? Also what do you think about the speed/fuel economy for 2.0 petrol?
@@pj-vb5rk my avg is 29/30mpg. However I mainly use E5 petrol, E10 drops you that figure by 5-10 percent. I would said up to 75mph you can get economical driving, above it is getting expensive. Especially from 80-120mph.
This engine also don’t like high revs for first 10 minutes of driving (I mean above 3000 RPM).
Otherwise, great engine, just need to be maintained properly.
1.6 should be good for first car, however 2.0 is the engine that you want. T5 facelift is almost impossible to buy in UK.
Good luck!👌🏻
The music in this video is unreal. Accidental Partridge and I love it
I had a 2018 d5 model, sold it for an older 07 se lux 2.0l. Love it!!
No you didnt. They stopped making these in 2013. There is no way you ever had 2018 model.
Beautiful car...
