Volvo is a special brand for me, the so-called special, it is the only brand that has tried all models in the four years of the industry, and even planted a seed in my heart that "I must buy a Volvo in my lifetime".
Therefore, the test drive report of today's XC60 may be mixed with more personal subjectivity, but it is the deepest understanding and expression of its product by loyal fans of a brand.
The attitude of the Swedes pays attention to "lagom", that is, "just right", that is, it is not extreme or excessive, and it is reflected in the car, which is extremely simple, but not cold. The overall silhouette of the XC60 is not in a hurry to express the domineering of this car, on the contrary, it indirectly portrays the Nordic luxury texture through clear lines, and even has a hint of crossover feeling, which may also be the arrogance that it has won a certain audience.
In addition, the Thor's hammer headlights echo the front and rear of the Viking axe taillights, which not only improves the shape of the vehicle, but also the lighting effect is equally excellent.
As a luxury car, the Volvo XC60 cabin is different from other cars, the simple style looks clean and restrained, but the level of materials and workmanship fully meets our needs for a luxury car. In addition, this luxury version of the model uses a crystal lever, which is made by the royal Swedish royal crystal brand Orishi, which is lead-free, warm to the touch, and quite high-end to the touch.
Volvo's seats have always been developed in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons, which means that no matter what body shape you are, you will have a high fit when you sit here, which will make our ride feel better. Whether it is the front or the back, its ride comfort is very high.
After the mid-facelift, all models of the XC60 have entered the era of environmentally friendly hybrids. The B5 model has 250 PS and 350 Nm, and the power figure is basically the same as that of the T5 model. Thanks to the Drive-E's wide torque platform, the XC60 B5 retains a sense of lightness while the addition of a 48V mild hybrid system improves the car's dynamic response at low speeds.
The 48V mild hybrid system also weakens the presence of the 8AT gearbox, and only at the moment of rapid acceleration, the gearbox will have a sonorous and powerful shift action to inform its existence. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that this set of gearboxes that can be placed horizontally with the engine is a kind of paranoia of Volvo about vehicle collision safety, and at the moment of the collision of the front of the vehicle, the engine and gearbox can sink quickly to avoid being squeezed into the cockpit by external forces and injuring the occupants.
Anyone who has ever driven a Volvo may know that the brand's style of chassis tuning is not quite in line with the general trend of the current family car gradually becoming softer. It is obviously inappropriate to simply call it hard, aluminum alloy double wishbone independent front suspension + lightweight composite leaf spring integral multi-link rear suspension, which will not make me feel too direct on bumpy roads, nor will it make me tired of dealing with the sitting position changes caused by roll in corners, which is the biggest feature of this suspension system, obviously, XC60's suspension has found a good compromise point in comfort and support.
Write at the end
The Volvo XC60 fully demonstrates the quality of a luxury car, both in its family-oriented design and in its people-oriented manufacturing philosophy, and what you need to do when you have it is to smile confidently and embrace the high-end quality of life at a slow pace, which is also the ......
