2012 Volvo C30 Review
type='html'>
Volvo revised trim levels for 2012 Volvo C30, added the Premier and Platinum for both options, namely C30 and C30 T5 R-T5. Volvo's trademark vertical taillights and front fascia that resembles the Volvo XC60 crossover. Volvo is not sacrificed comfort for performance, even in a sport-tuned R-Design.
The new front styling for 2011 Volvo C30 both complement the unique styling of the rear of the car. C30 uses front-wheel drive. Torque steer, felt through the steering wheel as the pull slightly to one side under hard acceleration, both examined, impressive for front wheel drive car with more power.
Slow steering and steering wheel is traditionally a big part of the Volvo driving experience. Model R-Design allows more road feel through the steering wheel and a sharper response. Premier Plus trim adds power glass sunroof, electric front seats, LED daytime lights and aluminum inlays for the dashboard. The new Platinum trim upgrades including Premier Plus along with a memory driver's seat, navigation system and premium 10-speaker surround-sound audio system with satellite radio.
As part of a sporty coupe, the hatchback was carved, the Volvo C30 in 2012 succeeded in attracting the cutting edge, more performance minded and style-conscious. Styling cues typical for R-Design includes color-coordinated exterior trim,
Special front grille design, blue-faced gauges, metallic interior trim, sport pedals
, Leather seats, the C30 Climate package - which includes heated front seats, electronic climate control, washer lights and rain-sensing wipers - can be added to each trim level. The front-wheel-drive 2012 Volvo C30 is supported by a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 that produces 227hp and 236 pound feet of torque. Six-speed manual transmission is standard, and five-speed automatic with manual shift is an optional function.
Telescopic steering wheel helps accommodate drivers of all sizes. The trademark Volvo floating center stack design is the central element. R-Design upgrades to cloth FlexTech striking combination of black with leather seating surface of the creme. In both models provided full leather upholstery. Front seats have lots of headroom and leg rooms are good, although very high drivers may wish for more seat travel. Steering wheel tilt / telescoping help drivers adjust the driving position is comfortable and appropriate.
The rear seats are fairly easy to access and offer a decent space. Rear-seat leg room is good unless the front seats far back and the end of the room under the front seats abound. The rear seats fold to create a flat floor with a load of 20.2 cubic feet of easy access to room’s kargo. EPA-estimated fuel economy checks in at 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined for the manual, and automatic ratings are 21 mpg / 30/24.
2012 Volvo C30 standard with antilock disc brakes with brake assist,
Stability control
Traction control
Front seat
Side airbags
Full-length side airbags curtain
Front seats with whiplash protection.
There is no model Volvo has reached back and modernized part of Volvo's design heritage quite as successful as the C30, which in some ways to find inspiration from the early 1970s sports car 'shooting brake' Volvo 1800ES. The 2012 C30 is an IIHS Top Safety Select, with the top 'excellent' ratings in all tests the organization, and rear obstacle detection system, blind spot system, and lane-departure warning systems are all available.

Tokyo Motor Show: VW Cross Coupe Plug-in Hybrids Concept
Volkswagen introduced a cross-coupe concept today at the Tokyo Motor Show. , Plug-in hybrids and looks like a traditional four-door coupe and an SUV gets together on the design center.
VW's first to feature 'modular transverse matrix' new, whatever it was, and looked pretty much production ready. Looks like a big enough engine on the image, but actually shorter than the Tiguan.
The car will feature plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.4-liter gasoline engine with 148bhp 1TSI two electric motors, one in front and one rear axle, developing 54bhp and 114bhp respectively. When used in combination, there are a total output of 261bhp is offered, which allows the car accelerate 0-62mph in 7.0sec and reaches a top speed of 125mph respectable. Although cross-worthy performance Coupe, issued and offered 62g/km CO2 figure of 105mpg claim. A production model will probably have more VW TSI and TDI engines are paired with a conventional manual and DSG gearboxes. . Since the car line that dramatically sloping roof, boot capacity of 379 liters, but this can be increased to 1229 liters with the rear seats folded.
In the end, Volkswagen showcased other innovations in thanks to the concept of all-wheel-drive system with shaft drive electric. Rear Axle driven by an electric motor while the power supplied to the electric motor behind the rear by one in front. This means that the flow of electrical energy to replace conventional power transfer by the drive shaft, make space in the center tunnel to hold the lithium-ion batteries.

Volkswagen T5 Series received new engines
From the outside we see a huge 20-inch wheels wrapped in tires measures 275/35 R20. Lips are also added below the front and rear bumpers and each exhaust most striking breadsticks, instead of the exhaust hidden under the bumper which tends to have these vehicles. Inside there are not many changes, just some trim faux carbon fiber and new rugs.
A sports exhaust and sports suspension lowered by 30 mm - yeah, in a van does not make sense - are the prelude to severe potentiation for various engines. If our Volkswagen T5 2.0 TDI engine brings 140 hp 166 hp can enjoy and 395 Nm of torque. However, if you enjoyed the 177 hp 2.0 BiTDI power will grow to 212 hp, while torque grows to 460 Nm, figures close to a V6 turbo diesel.
