The 1998 Volvo C70 is a stylish and sporty coupe that marked Volvo's entry into the premium convertible market. It was the first hardtop convertible produced by Volvo, introducing a unique and innovative design that combined the sleek lines of a coupe with the open-air experience of a convertible. This two-door, four-seater model was built on a modified platform shared with the Volvo S80, and was available with a range of powerful engines, including the fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and the more powerful 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine. The 1998 C70 was known for its distinctive styling, featuring a low and wide profile, a distinctive sloping roofline, and a distinctive front grille that embodied Volvo's signature design language. It offered a comfortable and well-equipped interior with high-quality materials and a focus on safety, a hallmark of Volvo vehicles.

The 1998 Volvo C70's retractable hardtop system was a significant innovation for its time. The electro-hydraulic mechanism allowed the roof to be raised and lowered in just 30 seconds, providing passengers with the option of enjoying the open air or the comfort of a closed coupe, even in inclement weather. While the C70 was a popular choice for drivers seeking a combination of luxury, performance, and versatility, it was also known for its relatively high price point and limited cargo space, a common compromise for convertible designs. Despite these factors, the 1998 Volvo C70 established itself as a successful, stylish, and engaging car that was well-received by consumers, offering an alternative to its established German competitors.
