Volvo, a luxury car brand originating in Northern Europe, is known worldwide for its high safety. Whenever we talk about this brand, there is always one model that cannot be avoided, that is, the XC60. Since its launch in 2008, the car has received about 2 million orders worldwide, which can be said to be the sales responsibility of the Volvo brand in recent years. Such an important model in the modification of this matter, manufacturers naturally do not dare to be sloppy, then let us experience and feel the changes brought by this mid-term redesign to the XC60.
The appearance of the new XC60 is reflected in some details, taking this test drive as an example, its grille color scheme has changed, and a new 3D mirror design has been applied to the LOGO. Compared with the previous cutout style LOGO, the details of the front camera can be better weakened, so that these subtleties can improve the finerness of the vehicle.
As can be seen on the side of the car, it has a brand new 19-inch double five-spoke rim that looks more spirited. The design at the rear of the car is more simple. It can be seen that the design of the Volvo XC60 itself is mature and popular enough, and it is clear that there is no need for drastic optimizations when it comes to this redesign.
The interior of this redesigned model has not changed much, but it is more practical. Although the size of the LCD meter is still 12.3 inches, there is indeed a significant improvement in the display effect, and substantial progress has also been made in content richness.
The car machine is the focus of this redesign, which is based on a set of native Android systems cooperated with Google, the system is stable and reliable, and the interface is clean and simple. If only from the two aspects of intelligence and interconnection, I think that the XC60's car machine has surpassed most of the same level of luxury brands.
There is nothing surprising about the upgrade of the powertrain in this revision. The 2.0T turbocharged engine is equipped with a 48V light mixing system. The engine parameters have remained virtually unchanged before, with a maximum power of 250 hp and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, matching the 8-speed manual transmission. Driving on the road will find that the extra dozen horsepower brought by the 48V motor does not have a special feeling, and it is still the style of not being impatient when accelerating sharply, and its gearbox shift is very gentle, even if the big foot throttle is pushed, it will not ignore the smoothness.
To tell the truth, this XC60 has added a lot of functions after the redesign, but at the same time canceled some operations on the previous model, which is a bit of a simple meaning. Some say that simplification is a double-edged sword that makes it easier for some to operate vehicles, but also makes people feel that there are fewer options and richer ways to use them. If you think about it, life is the same, it is difficult to have something perfect.
