The Volvo C30 is a near-luxury compact hatchback, manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars for model years 2006-2013. Volvo marketed the C30 as a premium hatchback/sports coupe. Powered by inline-four and straight-five engines, the C30 is a variant of the Volvo S40/V50/C70 range, sharing the same Ford C1/Volvo P1 platform. The C30's rear styling and frameless glass rear hatch recall Volvo's earlier P1800 ES and Volvo 480.

The C30 continues Volvo's marketing strategy to put safety as a primary concern. This is demonstrated through some recently developed safety features, including a method of overcoming the "blind spots" in the driver's view to the rear through a system known as BLIS (Blind Spot Information System). The C30 also features a four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability program (ESP), traction control system and front, side and curtain airbags, front and rear crumple zones, and a stiff occupant cell.
