It is believed that for a long time to come, plug-in hybrid models should be the first choice for most consumers to buy a car.
The reason is simple, because compared to pure electric models, plug-in hybrid models do not have endurance anxiety. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrid models can enjoy the subsidy policy for new energy vehicles and the driving experience will be better.
For the average consumer, plug-in hybrid models within 200,000 are fully enough to meet daily use in all aspects.
Consumers who are slightly more high-end, when buying plug-in hybrid models, believe that they will also choose some luxury car brands.
For example, the car we are going to talk about today is the XC90 plug-in hybrid version from the Nordic Volvo.
Recently, the car quick review for this nearly million yuan value of plug-in hybrid version of the model test drive. Let's talk about the test drive experience and talk about personal views.
Like the plug-in hybrid version of the same level of Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5 and Audi Q7, volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version of the model is also imported.
From the appearance point of view, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version of the model does not look much different from the ordinary fuel version of the Volvo XC90. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are also 4953/1958/1776mm, and the wheelbase is 2984mm.
The same is T8, where is the difference
The only difference is the "T8" logo on the rear of the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version.
Seeing this, friends who may know more about Volvo will have such an accident: the lower level of Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid version of the model also uses the engine of T8.
Yes, the Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid version is also a full range of models equipped with T8 engines. However, the difference is that the T8 engine used in the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version uses a mechanical and turbocharged dual-boost method.
The Volvo XC60 is equipped with the T8 engine, which only provides turbocharging technology.
Compared with its peers, the configuration is the most abundant
Perhaps in most people's understanding, it is a budget of 800,000, why don't I buy a BBA plug-in hybrid model?
Indeed, in terms of price, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version of the model and mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5 and Audi Q7, the Ashkenazi BBA plug-in hybrid version of the model price is comparable, or even slightly more expensive.
But you know, among the above four models, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version is the only one equipped with HUD head-up display, 360-degree panoramic image, full-speed adaptive cruise, remote start, reversing side warning, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, road traffic sign recognition, knee airbags, front seat heating chair ventilation massage and position memory function, rear independent air conditioning, car air purifier, in-car PM2.5 filter, Models of negative ion generators and multi-layer acoustic glass for all vehicles.
Driving experience: The powered sound quality is superb
It is worth mentioning that the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version of the model is equipped with the perfect sound quality of the Borgward Vecker sound, so that you sit in the car as if you are in the temple of music, and the ears will really be "pregnant".
This feeling is only known to you if you have experienced it.
As mentioned earlier, the 2.0T T8 engine equipped with the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version can break through 100 in 5.8 seconds at the earliest due to the use of dual supercharging technology. Compared to the 3.0T engine of the BMW X5 plug-in hybrid version, it is no less impressive.
Throughout the test drive, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version with electric four-wheel drive can easily cope with whether it is driving at high speed or taking some relatively poor road conditions.
Since I didn't have the conditions to charge, I didn't experience pure electric mode the whole time. At high speed, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version of the 100-kilometer meter fuel consumption is about 10-11 liters.
For such a "big" model, such fuel consumption performance is not high.
In addition, even in the state of power loss, the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version is still very smooth to drive, and there is no obvious frustration.
I also tried to turn on the energy recovery mode and use the excess energy from the engine to charge the battery. However, in the overall experience, the power can only be maintained at about 20% at most.
Spatial performance: enough for home
In terms of interior space, as a medium-sized SUV with a length of 5 meters, I think the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version is enough for families. Since the second row of seats can be moved back and forth, the third row will not feel uncomfortable if you ride for a short time.
During the days I test drove, I had the third row of seats directly receded. In this case, the space in the trunk is very large.
If you don't feel enough, you can also recline the second row of seats and you'll get a very flat, huge trunk.
Passive safety: Still the bright spot
Finally, let's talk about the performance of the Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid version in terms of safety.
In addition to passive safety, the Volvo XC90 is also very powerful in terms of active safety.
After turning on adaptive cruise, the two systems of lane departure and lane keep can play a good role in assisting the driver. Once the vehicle is pressed, the steering wheel can be quickly corrected and reacts very quickly.
If you are a novice driver, you may encounter this situation and need to adapt.
Again, stopping or reversing in a crowded section of the road, once the vehicle recognizes someone or obstacle, it will automatically brake at a very fast speed, avoiding the occurrence of scraping accidents.
Even for veteran drivers, driving the Volvo Xc90 plug-in hybrid model for the first time, they may mistakenly think that the vehicle hit something.
For this car, there are two points that I am not satisfied with: one is the car machine system, and the second is pure electric endurance.
But overall, a budget of about 800,000 yuan to buy a plug-in hybrid version of the SUV model, if not non-BBA not to choose, then Volvo XC90, is still worth recommending.
