Volvo C30 DRIVe
For the first time ever, Volvo has a car that qualifies for free road tax, the facelifted version of the C30 drive. The model, which was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show, has had its CO2 emissions cut to 99g/km. The drive model however, didn´t get the new sports chassis found in the regular C30. The model that it replaced emitted 104g/km. Volvo claims that on a single tank of fuel, the car can travel up to 857 miles and return 74.3mpg on the combined cycle. The car is equipped with 1.6-litre diesel engine, which has a start/stop system to help improve economy and reduce emissions. To help boost economy, Volvo also made improvements in the engine management and utilized combustion technology. Peter Ewerstrand, head of CO2 at Volvo, said that Volvo left absolutely no stone unturned in its determination to reach this target. In Frankfurt, we can also see on display the regular C30 and its R-Design variant at Frankfurt , as well as a new facelifted C70.
