 Volvo is continues making evolutionary updates to its model line-up with the 2010 C30 hatchback, which features updated exterior and interior styling plus some new options.
The biggest changes to the 2010 C30 are right up front courtesy of design cues lifted from the S60 Concept, which are said to indicate the future styling direction of Volvo vehicles. The headlights have been stretched back along the fenders for a sleeker look while the grille and other openings have been reworked into more aggressive shapes. In general, Volvo's exterior changes have bulked up the car slightly to give it a more imposing look.
Volvo also adds another color, Orange Flame Metallic, to the C30's roster. Additionally, the exterior can be pumped up with an Accessory Styling Kit that consists of front and rear skid plates, side scuff plates and restyled fog lights.
Inside, Volvo has spruced up the interior with an expanded color palette that now includes Cranberry and new combinations like Espresso/Blond.
For those more interested in go than show, Volvo also offers a Sport Chassis package to improve handling. Included in the package are 30% stiffer springs, steering that is 10% more responsive and more responsive dampeners. While the handling modifications are a welcome addition, they'll have to make due with the same engine output as the drivetrain is unchanged from the previous model's 227-hp turbocharged inline five-cylinder. Pricing hasn't been announced but is expected to be similar to 2009 models when the 2010 model hits dealerships later this year.
