The wide leather seats have good softness, but the wrapping is average. In terms of seat functions, the 28T 4WD Deluxe is equipped with 10-way electric adjustment of the main/passenger seat, seat heating and main driver memory.
In terms of rear seat performance, the Cadillac XT5 has more horizontal and vertical space, and it adopts a theater-style stepped sitting posture, which is friendly to the taller experiencers.

B5 4WD Zhiyi Deluxe Edition 396,900 yuan
XC60 is the most popular model of the Volvo brand in China, even if there are strong and dark horses in the past, it can always occupy a place in the market, which shows that the product strength and mass base cannot be underestimated. Just in June this year, the car has just completed a mid-term redesign and is in the middle of this generation of product life cycle.
In terms of appearance, volvo XC60 provides two different appearance kits for deluxe and sports, respectively, and the overall change is not much, but the details such as the grille have been adjusted. The B5 four-wheel drive Zhiyi Deluxe Edition recommended by this article uses a straight waterfall grille, which is more dignified, and the small area of chrome trim strips on both sides of the bumper is just right, which not only makes the front face look more exquisite, but also does not appear exaggerated. The "Quake" headlights naturally need not be said, which should be the iconic element of the brand for a long time.
At the rear of the car, the taillights extend outward in accordance with the shoulder shape, and the lamps arranged horizontally on the tailgate create the XC60's classic "Viking Axe" taillights, which are highly recognizable. A large number of lateral lines are concentrated in the lower part of the rear, which effectively reduces the visual center of gravity of the rear and eliminates the feeling of "hip tilt".
In terms of interior design, Volvo is undoubtedly a deep veteran, even if this interior has not been majorly modified in more than 3 years, but now it seems that all design treatment can withstand scrutiny. Its interior line design, although simple, is excellent in terms of layering, and also creates a light and luxurious atmosphere through wood grain panels.
This 9-inch central control vertical screen believes that everyone will not be unfamiliar, after all, it is also a Volvo brand feature. In terms of actual experience, the richness of its system functions is quite outstanding, but it still takes a while to adapt to the operation mode, and some functions are not very in line with the habits of most Chinese consumers.

In terms of seats, the recommended models are wrapped in imitation leather, in addition to the advantages of environmentally friendly materials without odors, its support for various parts of the human body is also commendable. However, the seat function is a bit cold, only the main/co-driver position 10-way electric adjustment and the main driver position memory, lack of northern users are concerned about the heating function (optional).
The performance of the rear seat is a bit unsatisfactory, one is that the seat cushions are hard and thin, and there is no ride like a "big sofa"; the second is that the central bulge of the rear floor is more serious, which is not friendly to the third passenger in the rear seat.
In terms of driving assistance, the Volvo XC60 series is equipped with the City Safety Urban Intelligent Security System as standard, which has the same function as the Cadillac XT5 ESS Intelligent Guardian Security System, which is some of the current mainstream auxiliary functions.
The official pricing of Volvo XC60 is high, but the current terminal discount is quite strong, so it still has a certain cost performance. In terms of product competitiveness, the configuration and riding comfort of this car are more or less inferior in the same class of models, but its pursuit of environmental protection, health and safety can really capture the hearts of many family elites.
