Swedish automaker Volvo has confirmed plans to cease production of the C70 hardtop convertible next year. The vehicle will be axed due to slow sales, with a successor to arrive “as soon as possible”.
“At the moment we’re offering the C70 Limited Edition - but [the current model] will be ceasing early next year,” Volvo Australia managing director Matt Braid told Drive, while company chief Hakan Samuelsson said Volvo will eventually replace the C70 with a car based on the recently-unveiled Concept Coupe.
The Volvo C70 was introduced in 1997, while production of the second-generation model commenced in 2006. The C70 received an update in 2010, which included a redesigned front end, LED taillights, and a new instrument panel. The two-door vehicle is built at Volvo’s joint-venture plant with Pininfarina Sverige in Uddevalla, Sweden since 2005.
