In recent years, the automobile market can be said to be in a state of "rolling to fly", before there is new energy to increase the cost performance of automobiles, and after there are fuel vehicles to reduce prices to seize the market, so the brands in the price of vehicles, have come up with a relatively high sincerity, luxury brands are no exception.
BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz have been firmly in the front line of luxury brands, and although prices have dropped, they are not large. Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and other second-tier luxury brands are "merciless" in order to be able to show a little bit of prominence, after all, "eight fold tiger seven fold leopard, six fold Volvo no one wants" is not groundless. But having said that, no one wants to have some exaggerated elements for the time being, but in April, the reference preferential price of the 2024 Volvo S60 starts at 214,900 yuan, which is equivalent to a 7% discount on the guide price, and the cost performance is still highlighted.
The appearance of Volvo S60 still continues the family design concept, in the hexagonal grille, the "seat belt" like logo inlay in the center, although the headlights on both sides are regular, but the internal "Thor's hammer" light strip brings a trace of "aggressiveness", the air intake and the diffuser on both sides are painted in glossy black, while the visual effect is improved, it better reduces the driving resistance. The side lines are not noticeable, only the waistline running through the body is faintly visible, while the black chrome paint around the windows adds a touch of sportiness to the car. The tail is upturned to play with a "ducktail", the "Viking Axe" taillights on both sides complement the headlights, and the hidden exhaust pipe better reflects the sporty genes.
The center console of the car is basically symmetrical, and the 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster and 9-inch central control screen are embedded in the whole series, which can make the vehicle interior appear simpler and not bring a more abrupt feeling. The crystal gear lever made by Orrefors for Volvo looks more advanced, but the lowest configuration is not matched, which is a pity.
The car machine system of the joint venture car, the degree of difficulty has always been the point complained by users, and sometimes it is not as convenient as putting a mobile phone holder to use the mobile phone, and the former Volvo is naturally the same. However, Volvo grasped the pain points of users about the use of the car machine and upgraded the car machine to a new level. After upgrading, it is equipped with the Android native car machine system, which can provide users with AutoNavi map, Tencent iQuting, Huawei AppGallery and other software. Moreover, the application market can also download third-party software compatible with the vehicle, and the playability has been improved to a certain extent.
The new model uses a 2.0T+48V mild hybrid in power, but uses two turbocharged engines, B4 and B5, so the power output is 197 horsepower and 250 horsepower. There is no doubt that turbocharging can improve power efficiency, and the minimum curb weight of the vehicle is 1695kg, which significantly reduces the weight of the vehicle. In addition, it also adopts mid-cylinder direct fuel injection technology, which to a certain extent, improves power output and reduces fuel consumption.
If a car has a light body and strong power, it is easy to bump and even appear in a state of "floating" in daily driving. Therefore, Volvo has equipped the vehicle with a double wishbone aluminum alloy front suspension for this aspect, which can make the damping change of the rebound stroke more intelligent, so as to produce better control over the up and down bumps of the body, and make the body more stable. In addition, the rear integral multi-link suspension eliminates the traditional coil springs and uses composite leaf springs instead, which reduces the space occupied by the rear axle and increases stability, which can be paired with the front suspension to better increase the grip of the vehicle.
Summary: As a medium-sized luxury car, Volvo S60 has been at the upstream level in the second-tier luxury car sequence, and the price of 214,900 after the comprehensive discount of the vehicle can further improve the level of this model. Through this aspect, in fact, you can see Volvo's sincerity to consumers, so what do you think about this car, welcome to discuss in the comment area.
