2011 Volvo C30 Styles

Volvo brought a dose of style to the premium hatchback segment with the introduction of the C30 a few years ago. The car is based on Volvo's S40 sedan, and it receives new front-end styling for the 2011 model year that's designed to distinguish it from its sibling. The C30 competes with other small, premium cars like the Mini Cooper S and Volkswagen GTI.
