Volvo debuted the first generation C70 at the 1996 Paris Motor Show, [13] and introduced it in Europe as a 1997 model, and a year later as a 1998 model in North America — with 2.0 (sold mostly in Italy), a low-pressure turbo (2.4L) and a high-pressure turbo (2.0L and 2.3L), 5-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engines and manual and automatic transmissions.
The second-generation C70 convertible received the world's first door-mounted, side-curtain airbags that deployed upwards. Curtain airbags have been said to reduce brain injury or fatalities by up to 45% in a side impact with an SUV.
In 1998, Volvo installed a head-protecting airbag, [66] which was made standard in all new models as well as some existing models. [63] The IC head-protecting airbag was not available on the 1997 C70 since the initial design deployed the airbag from the roof, and the C70, being a convertible, could not accommodate such an airbag.
With the launch of the Volvo S80 the IC airbag, [23] a curtain style airbag [24] deploying from the headlining to protect the head, was added. It has since been standard equipment on all newly released Volvos. Because of technical reasons the existing Volvo S70, V70 and C70 models were instead equipped with the SIPS-BAG II. [13] [25]
