In the current increasingly competitive electric vehicle market, Volvo's presence is actually not strong, coupled with the growing popularity of the Polar Star brand common to Geely, it is even more low-key. However, with the passage of time, this phenomenon is gradually changing, and today we will take a look at volvo's pure electric model C40, what kind of experience will bring us.
In terms of appearance, the family design language of the front of the car is very prominent, the smooth front cover and the Quake headlights complement each other and let people know at a glance that it is Volvo, and the closed middle net is in line with the mainstream design style of electric vehicles at present. The T-shaped air intakes on both sides are blackened like the lower bracket, adding a touch of sportiness to such a cute model, giving people a simple but not simple feeling.
Coming to the side, the length, width and height of the whole car are 4440/1873/1591mm, and the wheelbase is 2702mm, which makes the visual effect of the whole car petite and low, and the arched arc top is designed to be black, and the back-to-back shape is thus formed, thick and innovative. In terms of tires, the brand is Pirelli's SCORPION series, with a size of 255/40 R20, and the five-frame wind knife wheels have a good visual effect and are sporty.
In terms of the rear, like the front of the car, it is volvo's family style, and the shape of the slipback and the cocked ducktail are the least family parts. The Viking Tomahawk taillights and the concave and convex tail box deformation are the most family elements, although simple but the design is still very innovative.
In terms of interior, the typical Volvo family style, concise and to the point, the theme style of black and blue color can better fit the elements of the appearance. The multi-function steering wheel of the right size is convenient and practical and has a heating function, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch central control large screen are particularly strong, and like most new energy models, most of the main functions are integrated in the central control screen. At the bottom of the screen, only a few emergency stop and multimedia buttons are retained, and further down are two charging ports, which are simple and simple. The trim panel of the co-pilot's position is very bright, the grain is a bit like the water ripple on the marble, and the selection of materials uses a large number of soft package materials, and the texture is still very good.
In terms of configuration, the car machine system adopts Huawei's application market, which is very rich in functions, and the speech recognition system is Tmall Genie, which is still relatively high in practicality. The navigation system uses Gaode, which has a good reputation. In addition, features such as panoramic imagery, 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio, wireless charging, Apple Carplay and the Internet of Vehicles are also available.
In terms of space, the headrests and cushions of the front seats are good in length but the texture is hard, and the sense of wrapping is not strong, but the seat heating and ESC functions are still equipped. The performance of the rear seats is not as good as that of the front row, the backrest angle is relatively straight and the seat cushion is not long, and the floor rise is not low, if the middle seat may be more uncomfortable. Fortunately, the storage space is good, in addition to the rear seat support 4/6 ratio to put down, the electric model also has a front trunk, and the space such as the door storage compartment and armrest box in the car is relatively rich, which is also a comfort.
In terms of power, the low-to-middle C40 is equipped with a single motor (total power 170kw, total torque 330nm), the top model is equipped with a front and rear dual permanent magnet synchronous motor (total power 300, total torque 660nm), the battery type is ternary lithium battery, the physical capacity reaches 78 kWh, the CLTC comprehensive endurance is 530-550km (the top model endurance is 530km), slow charging to full power takes 10 hours, fast charging is about 40 minutes.
In general, the current new energy vehicle market belongs to the era of a hundred schools of contention and a hundred flowers. For Volvo, the rapid introduction of C40 is indeed a step in the second, which is conducive to its brand quickly winning a place in the market, as for the market performance of C40, it is still worth looking forward to.
