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 volvo XC60 front end looks quite tough, the large polygon grille is decorated with black ornaments, and with the deep headlights, the front face looks very domineering.
As it was only a mid-term redesign, the overall layout of the interior of the new Volvo XC60 has not changed, mainly due to the replacement of the crystal gear lever. Anyone who knows it knows that this is a product from the Swedish royal crystal brand Orrefors, which can lift the gas in the car, and the feel is also a level that the average gear rod cannot achieve.
Thanks to the blessing of the new super computing chip, the new Volvo XC60 also adds a new car machine system on the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 9-inch central control screen, which is a native Android system jointly developed with Google, with the same functions and usage logic as the mobile phone, and also carries out localization processing, such as built-in Huawei application market, Huawei intelligent assistant, Tmall genie, etc., that is to say, you can order takeaway, book tickets, and book hotels on the new car.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4708/1902/1658mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2865mm. The front and rear tires measure 235/55 R19 and feature a double five-spoke rim design, with a more atmospheric and sporty side style that looks wild.
The 2.0T turbocharged engine is equipped with a 48V hybrid system, extending out of the B4 and B5 versions, with a maximum output of 197 hp and 250 hp respectively, both matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The addition of the hybrid system allows the vehicle to obtain additional power in the initial stage, and also optimizes the logic of the start-stop system - after the start-stop system begins to work, the belt-driven integrated start-up generator can be activated at the moment when the driver releases the brakes and presses the accelerator pedal, and the engine ignition not only vibrates less, but also basically achieves zero delay.
