Although the Volvo C70 fulfils its brief as a stylish, premium convertible, it wouldn't be a true Volvo if it weren't as safe as is possible. Needless to say, then, that it has been developed to ensure that it's one of the safest convertibles on the road today.
The absence of a fixed roof has been more than adequately compensated by body reinforcements, to ensure solidity and rigidity, and the implementation of new technology - including a world first door-mounted inflatable curtain airbag that inflates upwards. This is extra stiff, so that remains inflated and gives effective head protection even if the window is open, while deflates slowly in case the vehicle has rolled during an accident. In addition, the Volvo C70 has windscreen pillars formed from extra-strength steel, to withstand very high forces, and they run all the way down to the bottom of the body for better rigidity.
