The rear end of the Volvo C30 has remained unchanged in photos released by the Swedish automaker to advance the 2010 model, and those who appreciate the distinctive styling of the exterior but not the new front fascia may want to consider used Volvo C30s in New Jersey.

New models are expected to more closely resemble Mazda front ends, with air intakes underneath the headlights based on similar designs from the Japanese automaker that has a stake in Volvo. Other changes include the angles of the headlines, a specially-designed bumper and an updated interior.

However, buyers who like traditional appearances may enjoy the 2008 model and other used Volvo C30s that offer the distinctive rectangular grille in a more compact package than other offerings from the Swedish carmaker.

The hatchback seats four adults, and includes safety features like standard side-impact and side curtain airbags, as well as a system that prevents the car from chiming or making unnecessary alerts based on the driving conditions, noted a Cars.com review.

Those features are mated with a 227-horsepower engine and “running gear [that] should help establish the C30 as a hot hatch” similar to the Mini Cooper S or Volkswagen GTI, the website editors added.
