Volvo C70 fuel types compared:

• Volvo C70 petrol: 82 cars currently available with an average price of £4,190
• Volvo C70 diesel: 18 cars currently available with an average price of £5,459

When deciding on a fuel type, your driving habits should be a key consideration. How far do you tend to drive in a week? Are they mainly short trips, or do you often find yourself driving longer distances?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Note that diesel engines with significant emissions have faced entry bans in cities across numerous countries.

Does the Volvo C70 have multiple body styles?

The Volvo C70 is available in both cabriolet and coupe body styles, with the cabriolet being the more popular choice. If you want to add a new dimension to the driving experiences, then a cabrio or a convertible is the perfect solution. Most cabrio models can be driven year-round these days, thanks to their excellent hoods and weather gear. To strengthen the chassis to make up for the lack of roof, thickener is applied underneath the car, which means that convertibles are often heavier than normal cars.
