If you want to buy a luxury brand of medium-sized cars, most people's first reaction must be BBA's "3, 4, C", but there are also some very strong models in the second-tier luxury brands, Volvo S60 is one of them, in addition to having excellent safety, its simple design style and handling performance is also very good, and Volvo S60 has always had a good discount margin. Judging from our survey last year, the discount of this car at that time was about 60,000 yuan, and there were a small number of existing cars to mention, so after a few months, what changes will the current discounts and existing car situation of Volvo S60 change?
The offer rises to 70,000 yuan, and there are enough existing cars
According to our survey of sales data of a Volvo 4S store in Beijing, the store sold a total of 78 new cars last month, of which 10 Volvo S60s were sold, accounting for more than 10% of the total sales in the store, basically the same as last year's sales. Judging from the sales data in the store, the "2022 B4 Zhiyi Luxury Edition" in the Volvo S60 has always been the best-selling model, belonging to the entry-level model of the B4 model, and the guidance price is 306,900 yuan. As the entry-level version of the B4 model, this car has a very good performance in safety performance, scientific and technological level and intelligent driving, and is more practical than other models, such as tire pressure alarm, active braking, reversing image, automatic parking, voice recognition control, vehicle networking and automatic air conditioning, etc. Configuration can be seen, which is quite helpful for daily driving, and it is also lower than 30,000 yuan on the threshold, which is the most cost-effective car in the whole series.
This car is equipped with a 2.0T high-power version of the engine, the maximum output power is 34 horsepower more than the B3 model, and the zero hundred acceleration time is 1.4s faster, which can bring a more powerful driving experience. In addition, the most popular colors of this car are mainly gray and white, and there are many existing cars in the store, which can be picked up directly.
As for the terminal offers that consumers are most concerned about, volvo S60 currently has 10,000 yuan more discounts than before, which can reach 70,000 yuan of cash discounts, and the specific discounts are as follows:
1, full purchase of cars: we take the hot-selling model "B4 Zhiyi Luxury Edition" as an example, on the basis of the price of 306900 yuan, there are 70000 yuan of discounts, plus hard car purchase costs, including insurance about 6500 yuan, about 1500 yuan of license fees and about 20248 yuan of purchase tax, the final landing price is about 265148 yuan.
2, installment / replacement car purchase: if you buy a car in installments, Volvo S60 also has a discount of 70,000 yuan, and can provide a 50% down payment loan policy, but you need to charge a financial fee of 3,000 yuan and an interest of more than 7,000 yuan. Then calculate it, if you buy a car in installments, the down payment is 118450 yuan, the installment is 24 months, and the monthly payment amount is 4935 yuan. As for the replacement of car purchases, Volvo S60 can provide a replacement subsidy of 8,000 yuan.

Who is buying the Volvo S60? Through communication with sales, we learned that the main people who go to the store to see cars are young customers, who pursue brands, but do not want BBA models that are too high-profile, so volvo, which is both restrained and luxurious, has become their preferred model. More importantly, compared with other luxury brands, Volvo has always been able to give a large terminal discount, which is more friendly for friends who do not have enough budget. In addition, the S60 has a new exterior design, extremely reliable safety, etc., which are the main reasons why they chose this car.
Don't look at the brand, S60 cost-effective far more than the 3 series?
As a second-tier luxury brand volvo S60, naturally can not avoid the comparison with BBA, of which BMW 3 series is a model that many consumers will consider, the current BMW 3 series terminal discount is about 30,000 yuan, but the car needs to wait for more than a month. So how exactly do you choose the BMW 3 Series and Volvo S60?
Leaving aside the price advantages of the Volvo S60, after the new exterior styling, Volvo's minimalist style seems to be more popular with low-key people, and the design of a large amount of leather in the car also shows a unique Nordic luxury. In addition, Volvo, which already has an excellent reputation for safety, is also better than the BMW 3 Series in terms of comfort. However, although the Volvo S60's super 2.8-meter wheelbase is already good enough, it will still be much inferior to the BMW 3 Series long-axis version. In addition, although they are all 2.0T engines, the BMW 3 Series pays more attention to the driving experience, and the maximum power output of 258 horsepower is also more powerful than that of the S60.
In general, the upgraded Volvo S60 not only has a lot of progress in terms of luxury and comfort, but also has enough product power in all aspects to compete with the benchmark BMW 3 Series, and even more abundant than the BMW 3 Series in terms of configuration and function. Coupled with terminal discounts, Volvo S60 also appears to be more cost-effective, as for how to choose, mainly depends on the needs of each person and the car scene.
Let's take a look at the use of the two cars after buying a car.
In the vehicle maintenance part, the maintenance cycle of volvo S60 is 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, and the cost of replacing the oil engine filter is 1179 yuan. Then the maintenance cost of the Volvo S60 for 60,000 kilometers in three years is about 11,457 yuan, an average of about 3,819 yuan per year.
The maintenance interval of the BMW 3 Series is also 10,000 kilometers, and the cost of a single maintenance is relatively high, and the replacement of ordinary small maintenance is counted as 1199 yuan. We roughly calculated that the total maintenance cost of 60,000 kilometers in three years is 12,087 yuan, and on average, the annual maintenance cost is about 4,029 yuan. It can be seen that the maintenance cycle of both cars is relatively long, but the maintenance cost of volvo S60 is cheaper.
In addition to the problem of using the car, the residual value rate of the vehicle is also of great concern to everyone.
We learned from a mainstream used car platform that the Volvo S60 "2021 T4 Smart Luxury Edition", the landing price of that year should be around 270,000, after more than a year of driving 18,000 kilometers, the current price is 215,000 yuan.
BMW 3 series "2021 320Li M sports suit", the landing price of the year should be about 310,000, after more than a year of driving 23,000 kilometers, the current price is 290,000 yuan. It can be seen that the actual loss rate of the Volvo S60 is relatively high.
Write at the end
For the terminal market situation of Volvo S60, compared with last year, there has been a great improvement, not only the car purchase discount has been increased to 70,000 yuan, but also there is sufficient inventory of existing cars, eliminating the need to wait for the car. However, although there are also good discounts in installments, after counting the handling fees and interest, it is nearly more than 10,000 yuan, so it seems that it is more cost-effective to pay in full directly. Overall, the performance of volvo S60 in all aspects is very good, even compared with the first-line luxury brands, it is now taking advantage of the market discount to enlarge, and it is also a suitable time to hurry up and start one.
