As many brands in the market cut prices to increase sales, the entire auto market can be described as an "undercurrent", as if experiencing a "silent battle". As a second-tier luxury brand, Volvo does not have many model categories, but the model matrix is relatively complete. Volvo S60 as a medium-sized sedan, now the vehicle reference preferential price has been as low as 214,900 yuan, and up to 15,000 yuan of replacement subsidies, undoubtedly increased Volvo's competitiveness in the same level of market.
Volvo S60 has always been more business-like, but this does not erase Volvo's sports genes, after all, Volvo has won 7 drivers' championships, 8 constructors' championships, and 103 sub-races in many races. The new Volvo S60 uses B4 and B5 turbocharged engines, supplemented by 48V mild hybrids, so that different configurations of vehicles can reach 197 horsepower/300N·m, 250 horsepower/350N·m power output, and the lightweight body technology also further improves the performance.
At the same time of restoring the "ability" of sports, safety has also become synonymous with Volvo, after all, once we encounter the situation that we have no time to dodge, some safety functions such as the body stiffness of the vehicle and the response speed of the system recognition have become an important guarantee for our driving safety.
First of all, the vehicle adopts a cage bearing design, which is also a new automobile structure developed by combining the birdcage with the car body, and this can also be divided into two areas: "impact collapse area" and "high-strength cockpit area". These two areas allow the body to fold to absorb the impact in the event of a collision and ensure that the passengers in the cockpit have a complete living space. In addition, the use of a large number of boron steel and ultra-high-strength steel also makes the body harder, which is simply more impact-resistant.
In addition, in the event of a serious collision, the system will automatically connect with Volvo staff on the phone if the airbag is deployed or the seat belt warning is activated. If the driver or passenger is unconscious, or the phone cannot be reached, it will help the user make an emergency call and accurately locate the vehicle. This makes it possible to keep users safe in the event of an accident.
Of course, in addition to the security of the hardware, the intelligence of the software can often lead us to avoid some risks. For example, the functions of automatic braking in the full speed range, emergency avoidance assist, flashing emergency brake light, oncoming vehicle avoidance, blind spot information detection and other functions can improve our safety in the driving state. In addition, the new rear-facing automatic braking function can be applied at the same time as the user detects an obstacle behind the user when reversing. The new Emergency Stop Assist function gradually brakes the vehicle when the user's hands are off the steering wheel and ignores the departure warning to prevent danger. There are also many security features, which I will not repeat here, so you can check them yourself.
The appearance of the vehicle has not changed much, and the overall appearance is still Volvo family style, with the "Thor's Hammer" light clusters on both sides being sharper, and the logo inlaid in the middle of the grille, as if wearing a seat belt. The body presents a standard streamlined attitude, with parameters of 4778*1850*1437mm and a wheelbase of 2872mm. The tail is more regular, with "sickle"-like taillights for a strong visual aggression, and the upturned "ducktail" on the trunk is also an interesting design.
As a standard second-tier luxury brand, safety can be said to be Volvo's biggest luxury, after all, the car logo is wearing seat belts, which shows that Volvo attaches great importance to the safety of the vehicle. And now it's in the Volvo S60 discount stage, so this should be the best time to get it. What do you think?
