Build My Own Volvo C30 - Volvo of Tacoma C30 - Serving Seattle, Tacoma, Fife, Washington.

The engines in the Volvo C30 are transversely installed in-line units. Together with large displacement, the five-cylinder configuration provides high torque across a broad rev band, and thus also swift acceleration and excellent driveability within a wide speed range. Four-cylinder engines are also available.

The Volvo C30 T5 is the top model, featuring a turbocharger and five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox. It produces 230 hp and 320 Nm of torque. Other petrol engine versions are also available, as well as a 2.0-litre bio-ethanol Flexifuel variant on certain markets from late 2010.

The new five-cylinder 2-litre turbodiesel introduced in the all-new Volvo S60 is now available throughout Volvo Cars' model range. The new five-cylinder D3 is in principle the same engine as the well-established 2.4-litre diesel, but its displacement has been reduced with a shorter stroke to optimise fuel consumption. The engine has been optimised for low fuel consumption and the injection system has a different type of piezoelectric fuel injector compared with the D5 engine. These injectors minimise consumption with exceptionally rapid and precise injection pulses under high pressure. This promotes extremely efficient combustion. In the Volvo C30 the new 2-litre turbodiesel is available in two variants:

• D4 with 177 hp and 400 Nm of torque.
• D3 with 150 hp and 350 Nm of torque. This engine will be introduced in late 2010.

Both the new D3 and D4 meet the Euro 5 emission standards. All the variants of the new two-litre turbodiesel can be specified with a six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox.

The C30 is in addition available with the 1.6-litre D2 diesel engine, which also complies with the Euro 5 standards. Fuel consumption is 4.3l/100 km (EU Combined), which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 114 g/km. The engine produces 115 hp and 270 Nm of torque and now comes with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The DRIVe version of the C30 has a Start/Stop function, lowering fuel consumption to 3.8 l/100km and CO2 emissions levels to 99g/km. The engine delivers 109 hp. The Start/Stop function shuts off the engine when the car is standing still and the driver releases the clutch and puts the gear lever into neutral. As soon as the driver presses the clutch again the engine restarts. The Start/Stop function reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 4-5 per cent (in mixed driving conditions). In urban traffic, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 8 per cent.
