The 2007 Volvo C30 is a compact hatchback that blends Scandinavian design with modern engineering. It features a sleek, two-door body style with a distinctive rear hatch, emphasizing its sporty and youthful appeal. The C30 offers a choice of two engines: a 2.4-liter inline-five engine producing 168 horsepower and a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine delivering 218 horsepower. Both engines are mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic transmission with Geartronic manual shift capability.

The vehicle's suspension system includes MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link rear setup, ensuring a balanced and responsive ride. Safety is a cornerstone of Volvo's design philosophy, and the C30 is no exception, featuring front and side airbags, side-curtain airbags, and Volvo's proprietary WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System). The braking system comprises ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the rear, augmented by ABS and EBD for enhanced stopping power.

Inside, the C30 offers a modern, minimalist interior with high-quality materials and ergonomic design. The front seats are well-bolstered for comfort and support, while the rear seats are individually sculpted and fold flat to expand the cargo area.

The vehicle also supports keyless entry and ignition, adding a layer of convenience.

Fuel efficiency is respectable for its class, with the base engine achieving approximately 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The turbocharged variant offers slightly lower efficiency due to its increased performance capabilities. Overall, the 2007 Volvo C30 stands out for its combination of stylish design, robust safety features, and versatile performance, making it a compelling choice in the compact hatchback segment.
