All-new Volvo C70 coupe/convertible: unique three-piece retractable metal roof turns this coupe to a convertible in less than 30 seconds
All-new Volvo S80: the all-new Volvo S80 executive saloon makes its UK debut at Canary Wharf. It has stylish new looks combined with a luxury interior offering 'Scandinavian Luxury'
Volvo V50 sportswagon: eye-catching Sport model combining versatility and style
Volvo XC90 AWD: with a flexible interior, seven individual seats and all-road abilities, the Volvo XC90 has set the benchmark for premium SUVs
The cool, all-new Volvo C70 coupe/convertible will also be posing for passers by at the Wren Landing and in the West Winter Garden at Canary Wharf during the Motorexpo.
All-new Volvo C70 coupe/convertible
The all-new Volvo C70 was launched earlier this year with a high-profile 'FEEL' TV advertising campaign showing its occupants feeling the sensation of driving above the clouds. It is the first premium brand convertible with a three-piece folding metal roof that can comfortably seat four adults.
The folding roof offers city dwellers the advantage of valuable added security (plus noise insulation) compared to other premium rivals that still offer soft-tops.
The powerful, range-topping 220PS T5 model offers high performance with a top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph possible in 7.0 seconds, while the top SE Lux specification includes an awesome 910W Dynaudio Premium Sound audio system with Dolby Pro-Logic II Surround Sound and no less than 12 top quality Dynaudio speakers.
The all-new Volvo C70 is available with Sport, SE and SE Lux trim levels, and in addition to the T5 there are two other five-cylinder engines: a 2.4-litre (170PS) petrol engine which is joined by a D5 turbodiesel with 180PS later this summer. On the road prices range from £26,225 (2.4i Sport) to £33,250 (T5 SE Lux).
All-new Volvo S80
Fresh from its world debut at the recent Geneva motor show, the all-new Volvo S80 executive saloon makes its UK debut to visitors to the Canary Wharf Motorexpo ahead of its arrival in showrooms this summer.
The all-new S80 is the largest of Volvo's S-range of saloons with its own distinctive Scandinavian style and high luxury specifications as standard. There's a choice of two diesel and three petrol engines, two of which are new – a 238PS, 3.2-litre six-cylinder and a 315PS 4.4-litre V8, and excellent ride and handling characteristics, making it a competitive alternative to the German luxury saloon rivals.
The 650W Dynaudio Premium Sound audio system available in the all-new S80 includes 5x130W D-class digital ICE power amplifiers from Alpine, Dolby® Pro Logic II Surround SoundTM and 12 Dynaudio speakers with an Aux input (MP3/WMA compatible) to create the finest, high quality audio system. Prices range from £24,375 (2.5T S) to £41,725 (V8 AWD SE Lux).
Volvo V50 Sportswagon
Targeted at younger, urban customers, the Volvo V50 Sportswagon offers the added versatility and flexibility of extra loadspace in a premium, compact, modern bodystyle – which can be seen at Canary Wharf in the stylish Sport trim level which offers 18" alloy wheels and full bodykit.
A major highlight is its revolutionary interior with an ultra-thin centre console combining the latest hi-tech style with classical clean and simple Swedish design. It offers a range of four and five cylinder engines, from 1.8-litre (125PS) to the high-performance 2.5-litre (220PS) T5 turbo and now includes a five-cylinder 180PS D5 turbodiesel as well as the four-cylinder 2.0-litre diesel. On the road prices range from £17,955 (1.8 S) to £26,365 (D5 Geartronic SE Sport).
Volvo XC90
With a versatile interior offering seven individual seats, the Volvo XC90 has set the benchmark for modern SUVs and continues to be one of the best sellers in its segment – and for Volvo.
Its clever design means it has won numerous awards from most of the motoring magazines. Naturally it not only looks good and feels great to drive, but also has Volvo's high safety standards, including RSC (Roll Stability Control), DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) with electronic brake assistance, IC (Inflatable Curtain – for all three rows of seats), SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) and WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System).
The new five-cylinder, 2.4-litre D5 (185PS) turbodiesel engine was introduced last year along with a new six-speed Geartronic transmission, which continues to be the most popular power combination in the range. On the road prices start from £31,680 (2.5T AWD S) to £46,265 (T6 AWD Executive).
