Volvo is to launch a new range of economical vehicles under its new DRIVe range.

The range will feature sub-120g/km diesel variants of the C30 sports coupe, S40 saloon, and V50 sport wagon which will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show next month.

The range will be powered by 1.6-litre diesel units offering fuel consumption of 64.2mpg on the C30 and 62.8mpg in the S40 and V50 and CO2 emissions of CO2 figures of just 115g/km and 118g/km respectively.

Volvo Cars president and chief executive officer Fredrik Arp said, "We wanted to demonstrate that low CO2 ratings are not solely the preserve of small diesel cars. By offering the Volvo V50 with emission levels below 120g/km, we are also making it possible for families and other customers who require extra space to make an active pro-environmental choice".
