Access is not difficult, and there is room for two real people. A rear-seat ski passthrough and large, accessible trunk make the C70 a very functional car. The C70 Coupe is a Volvo, so safety is paramount in its design. A strong safety cage and impact-absorbing zones surround the passenger cabin. All seating positions have 3-point safety belts and head restraints.
Front occupants have both frontal and side airbags.
Antilock disc brakes are standard, traction control is available. TWR learned how to make a Volvo handle while winning races in the ultra-competitive British Touring Car Series, and has applied the lessons well. The ride is firm, but not harsh or jarring, even on rough roads. The C70 is stable at all speeds. This gives it two distinct personalities.
