Volkswagen CC BMW 4 series is going to cry, Volvo this car can not hold the roof, a breath from 450,000 to 304,000, tragically selling scrap iron! There is a gap in the heart when test driving this generation of XC60, it seems that this is not the Volvo I knew before, and its unique thick driving texture is lost more. Although many brands may make the temperament of subsequent vehicles change greatly when the model is replaced, change and loss are not the same thing. The V60 and XC60 are based on spin-offs of the same platform, so with this unapologetic expectation, we test-drive the all-new V60 in Europe. Unexpectedly, although the XC60 has changed, the V60 has not changed at all. Or rather, Volvo's unique driving style has been found on the V60.
The front face offers two sets of styling, the Deluxe edition adopts a straight waterfall grille, and chrome elements are added to the edges and spokes to enhance the sophistication; the sports version uses a blackened dot array grille for a more sporty atmosphere. The new car has changed the logo, replacing the old skeleton shape with a new mirror LOGO, and the visual texture has been taken to a higher level.
In terms of interior, the interior of volvo XC60 presents a stylish design style, coupled with silver jewelry, the visual effect is very good. The car is equipped with more than 20 configurations such as front head airbags, fatigue driving tips, and traction control as standard, and the configuration performance is quite good, bringing a comfortable car experience to the driver and occupants.
There is no change in the side, with a short front overhang, a long wheelbase ratio, considering the increase in the volume of the tail compartment, the length of the rear overhang is slightly longer, but overall and the wheels are relatively close to the four corners, which has won more space for the carriage. The overall waistline of the body is raised, making the side windows look relatively flat, and the cockpit part shrinks inward in the C-pillar part, creating a clear shoulder and reducing the effect of wind resistance. In terms of details, the Deluxe model features chrome trim in the luggage rack, window line and skirt section, while the Sport model features a more dynamic smoked black.
The sport model is less "dramatic" in the tail change, and also adopts a hidden exhaust design that responds to the electrification strategy, but the lines of the decorative parts are obviously much more dynamic and more detailed, and the front and rear bumpers have a good echo effect. However, personally, I still don't want the sports version to cancel the tail row design, after all, the original double exhaust is full of "running taste".
Volvo XC60 is equipped with a 2.0T L4 engine, the maximum power of the engine is 250 horsepower, the peak torque is 350 Nm, it matches the 8-speed automatic transmission, the maximum speed is 180km/h, the official 0-100km/h acceleration is 6.8s, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 7.9L/100km.
