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.
In terms of appearance, there is no doubt that the new V60 adopts Volvo's latest family design style. Compared with the previous model, the front face is more tough and square, coupled with the blessing of the hammer headlights of Quake, it seems to have changed from a small fresh meat to a more manly type of man. Although the style has changed a lot, it is really cool.
The interior of the carriage is also very familiar with the Volvo style, the edge of the top platform protrudes to block the outside light from the screen interference, the central control screen tilting towards the driver's seat, the openings on both sides of the screen are very large to establish the air, of course, there is an impressive silver three-dimensional decorative panel that runs through the left and right, and there is a natural bend in the air outlet position on the far right of the decorative panel, which is exactly the same as the new XC60, unlike the V90 with a straight design. Of course, in the interior materials, most of the dark plastic is soft, and there is no odor in the car, which is very pleasing.
The side is the most distinctive place of the V60, the straight roof and the slender body waist line look smooth, but because the overall size of the V60 is smaller than the V90, it is not as long as the V90 in the look and feel, and then there is the front and rear overhang of this car The design is very short, and the four wheels are close to the four corners, which weakens the incongruous feeling brought by asymmetry to a certain extent, more like a large hatchback. The car has a wheelbase of 4761/1850/1432mm in length, width and height, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2872mm, which is 126mm and 96mm more than the previous model.
In terms of side styling, there are still a lot of changes. Compared to the more rounded style of the previous generation, the new V60 lines are more muscular, while the body looks more slender. At the rear, with the Viking Axe brake lights, the addition style is more tough, while the visual feeling of the body is wider and flatter, and the sense of sport is more prominent.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T engine, a total of three power components, of which T5/T6 is a fuel version of the model, and the T6 plug-in hybrid model, the maximum power is 180kW (245PS) / 235kW (320PS) / 254kW (345PS), matching the 8-speed manual transmission.
