For most friends, when the car purchase budget remains at about 500,000, often 56E has become their primary consideration, after all, the brand recognition is high, and it is also the mainstream model of this price range. However, for friends who pursue personality and like to travel by car, they prefer station wagons produced by luxury brands. Of these, about 500,000, volvo V90, a C-class station wagon from Volvo, is definitely a player that cannot be ignored.
Because this type of model, the domestic audience is not wide, this V90 has only launched two versions, the official guidance price remains between 44.79-55.69 million yuan, so that we can also make better choices according to our own budget and car needs, and there is no need to worry about the difficulty of choosing due to the variety of models. The following is to guide the 447,900 yuan price of the 2022 Cross Country B5 AWD Zhiyuan Edition as an example, and talk to you about this niche and personality-oriented luxury station wagon, hereinafter referred to as the Zhiyuan Edition.
In terms of the front face, the overall use of volvo family design language, flat body layout, shield-shaped chrome grille, with Thor's hammer headlights on both sides, has a full atmosphere of fashion. Especially when standing on the side of the front face, the elegant aura is definitely not what a regular C-class car can give us.
In terms of headlight configuration, because the price of the Zhiyuan version is nearly 450,000, like LED near and far headlights, automatic headlights and steering auxiliary lights are standard, but the lack of front fog lights, this is really some should not be. Although the top version is equipped with a front LED fog lamp, but the price of more than 550,000, and beyond the budget of many consumers, if the later modification, can be the front LED fog light to do the standard, the competitiveness will be higher.
It is said that the most aesthetic part of a station wagon is often on the side of the body, which is not wrong at all. From the above figure, the low body, with a body length of 4959mm, looks more slender and atmospheric overall, and the luggage rack at the roof also indicates the identity and positioning of its station wagon. The front and rear tires are available in 235/50 R19 and the spare tires are non-full-sized.
In contrast, the rear design of the car has a good echo effect with the front face, and it still has a high degree of family recognition. The wide shape, the L-style taillight combination, and the embellishment of the lower silver and white bumper, although the design is not too innovative, but the sense of grade still does not let us pick out faults.
Inside the Volvo V90, if you use one sentence to describe the interior of the Volvo V90, it is a very Nordic minimalist style. The design is inclined to the driver's side, which is convenient for the driver to operate and greatly guarantees driving safety. In addition, the application of large-area soft materials and solid wood decorative panels, coupled with good workmanship, the design is simple but not simple, worthy of the title of luxury car, this is my evaluation of it.
The application of 12.3-inch LCD dashboard and 9-inch LCD display has also been well guaranteed by its sense of technology. Compared with the top model, this Zhiyuan version is mainly the lack of a head-up display. But the praiseworthy thing is that although this Zhiyuan version is the entry-level version of the Volvo V90, the Harman Kardon speaker with 14 speakers is not absent from it, which must give the Volvo V90 a big thumbs up.
In terms of ride space, the Volvo V90 has a wheelbase data of 2941mm, coupled with the positioning of its own C-class car, so whether it is the front and rear, it can give us a spacious ride. The leather seat and the main passenger seat support front and rear/backrest/high and low four-way support/waist four-way support, and the comfort is also remarkable. If you are friends in the north, you can optionally install rear seat heating in order to bring better travel conditions to your family.
In addition to the elegant shape, practicality is also a major strength of the station wagon, this Volvo V90 rear seat support ratio is reclined, the maximum and minimum trunk volume is 1517L and 551L, whether it is daily travel or when going out to play, practicality is not at all the owner's need to worry about the problem.
In terms of power, the Volvo V90 adopts a hardware layout composed of gasoline + 48V light mixing system, the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 184 kW, the maximum torque is 350N·m, and it is matched by an eight-speed automatic transmission. The official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 7.4 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 7.9L/100km.
In the suspension part, the Volvo V90 uses the front double wishbone independent suspension and the rear multi-link integral rear axle suspension, plus good shock absorption tuning, shock absorption filterability is placed in the same level, which can be called the mainstream upper level. In addition, the standard full-time four-wheel drive, with excellent handling and passability, is also a highlight of the dynamic performance of the Volvo V90. Speaking of shortcomings, the main thing is that the wind noise of high-speed driving is large, and the low-speed driving transmission is somewhat delayed, and the smoothness needs to be improved.
In general, in the domestic market, the niche positioning of station wagons and the expensive price make it difficult for the Volvo V90 to become the mainstream model in the market. Of course, from the perspective of volvo V90's product strength, its performance will not let us pick out too many faults, or that sentence, like the niche to accept the disadvantages and shortcomings of the niche, such as small ownership, general retention rate and so on. If you can accept these disadvantages and want to buy a luxury C-Class car that highlights personality, the Volvo V90 is indeed worth considering.
