Canada should better be on the alert, and Canadians who loved the Volvo C30 concept vehicle would be loving this piece of news: the production Volvo C30 vehicle would soon be made available in Canada. Come the early part of next year, this vehicle would soon be gracing Volvo dealerships and showrooms in this country.

The Volvo C30 was first presented to the public as a concept vehicle. Unveiling of this vehicle was made possible just this January. Starting next year, the production versions would be made available for auto consumers to own. It will be made available as a hatchback holding three doors. But despite the fact that the United States offers the tons of hard-to-find Volvo products like performance parts for Volvo S60, this new production vehicle’s hatchback coupe version would not be made available in the country.

Europe would soon be meeting this new Volvo vehicle. In fact, it is already scheduled to make an appearance at the Paris Auto Show which would be happening this September.

Fredrik Arp, the head of Volvo Cars, explains that the creation, design, and performance of the Volvo C30 were actually made especially for the young ones – singles or couples – who live an “intense urban lifestyle”. Arp even further states, “These people prioritize excitement in design and driving characteristics.” And with that, Arp is surely saying that the Volvo C30 would be providing excitement and fun to those who would be driving and riding it.

In Canada, the Volvo C30 would be carrying two engine options. There is the 2.4 liter engine with five cylinders which offers a sporty ride. This engine could produce 168 units of horsepower. On the other hand, there also is the 2.5 liter engine with five cylinders. It has the capacity to produce 218 horsepower.

And just like any other Volvo vehicle, the Volvo C30 comes with entertainment features, safety gadgets and even high-technology add-ons.
