Volvo C30 to make world debut

Motor shows are all about world debuts, and Volvo will providing just such an event for the Paris show with the unveiling of its C30 small hatch.

The Swedish firm is keen to play with the big boys from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, so has chosen to call the C30 a sports coupe, because it has an all-glass rear hatch.

Volvo's chief executive Fredrik Arp also mentioned the 'lifestyle' word when describing the C30's potential customers, so we can assume these are the same people we see driving into work on deserted motorways before heading to the beach.

If you're such an individual with a lifestyle, Volvo will announce prices for the C30 at the end of September before the car goes on sale in December.
