"The four-cylinder turbodiesel will be a very popular choice, especially in Europe where it will account for 20 percent of total C70 sales. The engine offers a very attractive combination of fuel economy and driving pleasure," says Fredrik Arp, President and CEO of Volvo Cars. The Swedes expects sales of the C70 2.0D to reach about 2,000 units a year - which means that one out of ten C70s sold worldwide will have the four-pot turbodiesel. The first cars will reach European showrooms during autumn 2007.
