Overview
The 2011 Volvo C30 Hatchback is a compact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $24,700. For that price, it mainly competes with more powerful rivals such as the Volkswagen GTI Hatchback. Meanwhile, less expensive challengers with weaker engines include the Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback and the Mazda Speed3 Hatchback. Meanwhile, the latter two rivals have more affordable price tags. Between 2 trims, the C30 offers a single powertrain. It is a 2.5L Turbo Inline-5 making 227 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The C30 reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.2 seconds on its base engine. Regardless of the transmission, the C30 can manage a combined fuel economy of 24 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the C30 comes in really pull you towards itself.
