Volvo C30 T5 (A) R-Design Review: Haute Hatch
The crown for the most stylish lifestyle hatchback heats up with the introduction of an updated Volvo C30. We pit the tweaked Swede against the quirky Mini Clubman to find out which is the better 'stylized' hatchback.
Priced at around the $140k range, neither of these cars are cheap or affordable to buy but then again they're not your average looking hatchbacks. Style obviously comes at a (high) price. They are highly specified with standard equipment though, most of which aren't available with similarly sized cars.
In its latest iteration, the updated Volvo C30 might be almost as stylish as the Mini Clubman in terms of design and execution but it certainly doesn't have the latter's heritage, character and quirkiness. The Mini is also more fun to drive, an important factor to consider if you're a stylish fashionista with an active and vibrant lifestyle.
