Last year, Volvo said it would begin to accelerate the full electrification of Volvo Cars with an "ALL IN" attitude. The debut of the Volvo C40, with its young and energetic styling design, shows that Volvo not only has to enter new energy, but also has the determination to capture young consumers, and do adult choice questions - all! all! want!
Just recently, the volvo C40 pre-price was officially announced, the pre-sale price range is 267,000-32.80 million yuan, the overall is a little more expensive than the previously launched Volvo XC 40 new energy, which is also in line with the cross-border model is generally more expensive than the ordinary version of the tone.
It is reported that the Volvo C40 will also be handed over to Volvo Asia Pacific for production and sold in the official direct sales model.
In terms of appearance, as a cross-border pure electric SUV, the front face of the new car still continues the Volvo family-style design style, and adopts a closed air intake grille design to further reduce the wind resistance coefficient.
The left and right sides are equipped with the iconic "Quake" LED daytime light design of the Volvo family, and the slender headlights make the entire front face more impactful and look younger.
However, unlike XC40 new energy, the C40 fog lamp adopts a triangular air intake design, which looks more youthful visually.
The side of the car adopts a simple concave design, making the entire side look neat, but unfortunately it does not use a hidden door handle design, otherwise its whole side will look more simple.
Coming to the rear, I personally think that the tail is the biggest highlight of the whole car. From the beginning of the B-pillar, there is a downward trend, and the smooth large slipback design is completed in one go, which is exceptionally coordinated and capable.
What is more worth mentioning is that the unique shape is also equipped with a unique set of taillights, which extend from both sides of the rear window, presenting a highly recognizable C-shaped design, which is well suited to the uniqueness pursued by young consumers. Perhaps this beautiful back and the unique taillight group will become one of the important factors for young consumers to choose it!
Entering the interior, I think everyone has a big question mark in their minds and attach a sentence of "there is a difference"? Indeed, the basic frame of the interior of the Volvo C40 is almost exactly the same as the interior of the Volvo XC 40 new energy, and the familiar central control screen and vertical air conditioning outlet design are the iconic design language of the Volvo family.
Although Volvo comes and goes in the same set of moderate interior layouts, it is better than the beauty, but it is still very confident than the details and materials.
Therefore, the interior of the Volvo C40 is officially called the mobile cockpit of the "Nordic Fjord", with the first translucent backlit three-dimensional interior version, creating a layered 3D effect (which looks a little dizzy), and for the first time adding the Volvo 100% - Leather Free concept.
The easy-to-understand saying is that the interior is made of environmentally friendly materials, so that people sitting in the cockpit feel as fresh as being in nature... Of course, green, environmentally friendly, pollution-free, safe, etc., have always been Volvo's biggest selling points.
In terms of power, it is more familiar, following the powertrain of Volvo XC 40 new energy, which is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options.
The front-drive version is equipped with a front-mounted drive motor with a maximum power of 170kW, a peak torque of 330N·m, a battery pack energy density of 69kWh, and a maximum cruising range of 550km for the CLTC;
The four-wheel drive version is equipped with a dual-drive motor, the maximum power of the front and rear drive motors is 150kW, the total power of the motor is 300kW, the peak torque is 660N·m, and it takes only 4.7s per 100 kilometers. In terms of endurance, it is equipped with a battery pack with an energy density of 78kWh, and the maximum cruising range of the CLTC is 530km.
Volvo C40 is undoubtedly a more radical pure electric vehicle pushed in recent years, cross-border styling, 4.7s breaking hundred, unique tail design and other elements, are like telling "in order to be able to get a piece of the fierce new energy field, regardless of ALL IN will be finished."
But back to rationality, even the XC 40 new energy can not save the sluggish sales performance, relying on the unique shape, the price is still a little expensive, the essence or change the soup does not change the medicine of the Volvo C40, its prospects will really be good?
