Recently, the stalk of small potatoes in the south has become completely popular, and the bathhouses, morning markets, and ski resorts in the northeast have basically "fallen" and become the home of small potatoes in the south.
And it is said that there are also a large number of small southern potatoes that are speeding up in the northeast direction by various means of transportation.
Let's not talk about those who take planes and high-speed rail, because the public transportation system in the Northeast has all opened the "waiting mode", giving priority to the small potatoes in the south. However, if you are driving to the Northeast for small potatoes, you must pay attention, the Northeast is fun but the road is also very slippery, you must be careful and careful, especially those luxury brands of high-horsepower rear-wheel drive cars, but also to cheer up the spirit.
Because the power of many high-horsepower rear-wheel drive vehicles comes from the rear wheels, due to the small downforce at the rear of the vehicle, the corresponding rear wheel friction is small, and when the friction is less than the driving force, the vehicle will skid infinitely in the snow ......
Some riders on the Internet shared their experience, driving a certain luxury brand model on a snowy day, skidding in front of a very small slope, and couldn't go up at all. Netizens ridiculed: The odometer has increased by several kilometers, and when you look up, you don't move! That's why visibility is extremely low on the roads of the Northeast, where rear-wheel drive luxury cars are extremely low.
However, this matter cannot be generalized, it is also a luxury brand, Volvo S60 to the Northeast is like returning to his hometown, and all kinds of terrain are easy to handle.
In fact, it's right to think about it, as a luxury car brand from Sweden in Northern Europe, Volvo has to learn how to maintain handling in the snow since childhood, and no skiddling is just the basic operation, and front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive is the optimal solution. This also explains why Volvo doesn't do rear-wheel drive cars, not that it won't, it's just that it's not necessary. No one really thinks that a luxury brand with a history of nearly 100 years of development can't develop a rear-wheel drive platform.
Let's take a look at the Volvo S60 car, which adopts a transverse front-wheel drive design, after changing into snow tires, it is like walking on the ice and snow road, the chassis feels very stable, and there will be no slippage and tail flicking at all. Driving the S60 out in the snow, the biggest feeling is that it is stable and relaxed enough, and the driver has a sense of security in his heart.
And don't think that the Volvo S60, as a transverse front-wheel drive car, is only conservatively pursuing safety performance, it also has its own understanding and achievements in handling.
First of all, the Volvo S60 adheres to the standard axle design, and it also has the widest track in its class, which makes its chassis have very good stability and followability. At the same time, because the front of the car has an engine and gearbox and other mechanical structures, the front-wheel drive S60 has sufficient grip and can maintain control at all times. Don't think that the short wheelbase will cause space problems for the Volvo S60, the advantage of the transverse engine platform is that it is mechanically compact and has a high utilization of space. In the actual experience, we can find that the Volvo S60's front and rear space performance is not lost to other luxury cars in the same class.
In addition, the Volvo S60 has one obvious advantage, and that is the chassis design. Its chassis uses a lightweight design, the front wheel adopts aluminum alloy double wishbone suspension, the rear wheel is equipped with multi-link independent rear suspension, and the main suspension structure is made of aluminum alloy, which has the characteristics of high strength and light weight, which greatly improves its response speed on potholes and slippery roads, so that the tires are like adsorbed on the road surface, giving the driver strong driving confidence.
At the same time, in terms of power performance, Volvo S60 also has a hand, its B4 model also has 197 horsepower, 300Nm; The B5 model has 250 hp and 350 Nm, both of which are among the best in its class. Not to mention that the Volvo S60 also has a plug-in hybrid version of the T8 model, which has a maximum torque of 709Nm, which can break 100 in 4 7 seconds, and has the blessing of intelligent electric four-wheel drive, and the driving experience is not inferior to the previous V8 performance car.
Finally, I would like to remind you that near the end of the year, Volvo has also shown great sincerity, under the superposition of various subsidies and discounts, the landing price of Volvo S60 is only a little bit in the early 200,000s, this **You can buy ordinary brand B-class cars, but buy Volvo S60 such a mainstream luxury brand B-class car, to be honest, I couldn't think of it before!
