The Volvo S60 model has been on the market for quite some time and is currently in the middle and late stages of its product career, although the sales performance is average, one or two thousand units per month, but it has become a niche personality choice, and at the same time has a good performance in terms of safety and handling.
More importantly, the price is really not expensive now, the Zhiyi version is about 210,000 yuan, and the Zhiyuan version is 24-250,000 yuan, which can be called a good choice for urban middle-class medium-sized luxury cars. In terms of appearance, the front part of the new car is divided into two exterior options, the luxury version is a waterfall black grille padding with chrome bezel wrapping, and the sports version is a blackened dot matrix mouth, which is different in terms of style orientation. The front bumper is all trimmed with three-section cut-outs, but the Deluxe version adds chrome strips, while the Sport version has a more pure blackout twist.
On the side of the body, no matter which model maintains a rare short and compact line in the same class, the body length of 4778 mm is about the same as that of the domestic comato car, and the wheelbase of 2872 mm is quite long, forming a rare short front and rear overhang long wheelbase body ratio in the front-wheel drive car, similar to the visual effect of a rear-wheel drive model. The standard wheelbase version of the BMW 3 Series has been continuously lengthened through replacement, and the size and wheelbase are actually quite close. With a similar sportiness, it is quite difficult for a transverse model.
At the rear, the car certainly adheres to Volvo's low-key design, and the C-shaped taillights are not very eye-catching whether they are lit up or not, which is quite friendly to the rear car. The upturned ducktail enhances the sporty attributes, and the lettering emblem is not absent, while the exhaust at the rear is hidden, replaced by body-coloured curved trim strips or continuous chrome trim, showing the difference between the sport and luxury versions.
In the interior part, of course, the new car is still the Nordic cold design language, the straight center console, the vertical central control screen and the instrument panel form a dual-screen system without too many fancy elements, but the bent special texture panel, crystal electronic gear lever and other designs still enhance the sense of fashion, the seat has excellent wrapping, and the sporty feeling is once again highlighted. The rear space is obviously not large, but it can also meet basic needs, but it is really not excellent in terms of leg support, which is not the strong point of the car.
When it comes to strengths, the car is a big advantage in terms of handling. The front double wishbone suspension system, which is rare in front-wheel drive vehicles, has a fairly high specification and uses a large number of aluminum parts to improve the body response. Coupled with its relatively short body, it has excellent performance both in daily handling and on the track. Of course, the third-generation urban safety system is also the first echelon in its class in terms of active safety.
In terms of power, there aren't many new car sales on the market as the S60 T8 model has been essentially discontinued. At present, the car can be said to be the kingpin 2.0T fuel power, the maximum power of 197 horsepower and 250 horsepower, 100 kilometers of acceleration in 7.9 seconds and 6.9 seconds, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch or 8AT gearbox, what kind of performance can be seen in the future, it is worth looking forward to.
