But the significance of a car brand is to bring you convenience, explore the unknown, and enjoy the fun of life. Safety is only the prerequisite to ensure everything. From the fans' point of view, the inherent high value of Volvo's products is not only safety.
As one of the earliest brands that proposed full electrification, Volvo's ultimate pursuit of safety, health and environmental protection was tried on C30 pure electricity as early as 13 years ago. Today, Volvo enjoys a worldwide reputation for safety. CLEANZONE based on health concept? Cleaning the cockpit has also become the highlight of the brand; The gradual replacement of traditional fuel vehicles with 48V light hybrid and plug-in hybrid is also a commitment to full electrification for environmental protection reasons.
(S60？ Recharge? )
XC40？ Charging, the advanced work of Volvo to realize full electrification, is also the representative of Volvo, a Nordic brand, and has accumulated a large number of cars in the past 100 years. Among them, the acceleration performance of 4.9s has the ability to wrestle with competing products within one million; Accurate endurance performance is enough to overcome your endurance anxiety; Fully localized intelligent interconnection has made this seemingly cold Nordic teenager approachable.
XC40？ As a 40-series model, recharge is undoubtedly trendy. The strong contrast and angular design of the two-color body show a typical urban style. Fashion, exquisiteness and individuality design elements permeate everywhere, more like the flowing scenery on the expressway.
The "beauty of simplicity" of Nordic essence is in XC40? Recharge also has an inherited expression: the whole car doesn't have too many complicated decorations, and a large number of blank spaces and only muscle lines distinguish it from other Volvo models, with the crystal clear "Raytheon Hammer" headlights, XC40? Recharge has a feeling of "city spirit".
Brand-new semi-closed medium net, intuitive to XC40? Recharge is different from XC40. A small opening left under the logo not only provides heat dissipation function for the electrical system, but also carries Volvo's implication of full electrification: it is like a door that will be opened soon to welcome the arrival of the new energy era.
20-inch bright two-color wheels, emphasizing XC40? Active genes of recharge, top 235/40? After R20,255/40? R20 is a kind of tire with narrow front and wide back, which is the standard configuration of many high-performance cars. The layout of the four wheels and four corners of the car body provides dynamic flexibility at the handling level, and also allows the car to have higher space utilization.
After long-term testing of Volvo models such as S60, S90 and XC90, it will enter XC40? When you are in the top-up cockpit, you will find that everything is familiar. A large number of simple and elegant lines create a distinctive Nordic style, and the warm and comfortable exquisite materials reflect the humanistic care with temperature. When the car door is opened, the faint reading light hits the sunken metal particle dot matrix control panel, creating a deep feeling like luminous crystal, which contains rich Nordic culture.
Of course, Volvo's awe of Scandinavian style is not only the pursuit of simplicity and exquisiteness, but also the pursuit of nature and humanity.
Under the fusion design of simplicity and fashion trend, Volvo has also made clear the list of recommended materials and prohibited materials for this interior. In XC40? When charging, the door handle, key, electronic shift lever, shift lever, seat belt and other parts that passengers in the car often come into contact with do not use nickel, a toxic element. On carpets and door decorations, you can feel a kind of fabric similar to suede. According to the official, the fabric is made of 100% environmental protection material, which fundamentally eliminates the volatilization of harmful chemicals commonly found in automobile interiors to ensure the respiratory health of the occupants in the car. The insistence on "nature" makes people feel that the brand connotation of Volvo's "safety" is not limited to driving safety.
In terms of humanization and functional ease of use, XC40? Top-up shows Volvo's greatest sincerity in China market so far-Zhilian localization and customization.
Behind the familiar 9-inch central control screen, built-in Volvo customized Android? Cars? OS, the version is also following suit, and the deeply customized content is based on Android? 10 running platform. What about the XC40? Recharged cars are very suitable for the localization of users in China. For example, Fu, a voice control system, allows you and me to control most functions of the car by voice through "Hello, Xiaowo".
With the addition of Huawei Smart Application Mall, the apps that we commonly use on mobile phones can also be seamlessly connected in the car, and with the 9-inch large screen with excellent display effect, it is not contradictory to brush the car in leisure time.
Customized high-tech map, more targeted at XC40? RECHARGE's pure electric property is embedded in the cruising range circle, which can not only display the remaining power of the destination, but also automatically plan the charging piles along the way by estimating the remaining cruising range. So in terms of humanization, ease of use and even playability, XC40? The recharged intelligent interconnection system has not lost the independent brands of most hosts.
In addition, the interface UI of 12.3-inch full LCD instrument is also different from the double round dial of Volvo Fuel Family. Flat elements vividly cover the visual content of the instrument, and the real-time map display interface adds weight to this interface full of science and technology. Simple and intuitive practicality, I believe you and I will not refuse.
In another dimension of mankind-space, XC40? Recharge is also full of surprises. The storage space that can be seen everywhere in front of and behind the car can arrange your "three big things" properly: the mobile phone can be charged wirelessly, the garbage can be disposed of by the detachable trash can in front of the central armrest box, and the front door panel has also prepared a huge storage slot for you, which can easily put 14 inch notebook and some snacks.
At the same time, thanks to the layout of the front and rear motors and the batteries in the chassis, the original engine room of XC40 is in XC40? The recharge became a front cabin with moderate volume. Boys' travel bags or girls' medium-sized dolls can be easily put down, and the bathtub-like shape brings more playability to the front and rear boxes. You can not only surprise your lover with roses, but also hang up lighting to help spread the economy and show your uniqueness in the market.
P8？ AWD？ The nameplate definition of the rear of RECHARGE is different from the traditional T5 and B6 of Volvo: P stands for pure electric power, 8 stands for 8-cylinder power, the layout of front and rear dual motors defines AWD all-wheel drive, and RECHARGE stands for the pure electric state of this car. In the future, Volvo's T8 hybrid models will also add prefix recharge, such as S60? Recharge, XC90? Charge.
Dual-motor drive system, four-wheel drive, 408 horsepower, 660 Nm, 4.9 seconds to break 100 ... From the book data alone, XC40? Charging has satisfied the appetite of data control. Only by releasing the maximum torque of the motor immediately after landing can we perceive the unusual strength of this cold Nordic boy.
Novice, XC40? RECHARGE's accelerator pedal is rational, and the linear feedback between power and accelerator pedal is quite friendly, light and silent when dealing with daily commuting.
But when you slowly touch its sensitive area, XC40? RECHARGE's unreserved power output will keep you firmly pressed against the back of the chair. The maximum torque released in an instant makes the vision seem dynamic and blurred, and the pulling on the body and G value in an instant is even scary. At that moment, it was really fast, so fast that I thought its full throttle scene was not suitable for use in the city. If you want to overtake calmly, it is more than enough to step on the accelerator a little.
In terms of chassis adjustment, XC40? Charging is still the sports orientation, and the sense of suspension is still the "toughness" of Nordic cars. On the test drive route to Qingcheng Mountain, this stiff suspension can bring very good lateral support, and the rear tire width of 255 can also give the vehicle sufficient stability, which is not as ugly as the traditional SUV.
Compared with the fuel version XC40, the steering feel in the car has also been optimized, with stronger damping and higher steering accuracy. In addition, thanks to the layout of the front and rear dual-motor drive systems, XC40? The counterweight of the rechargeable vehicle can be close to the ideal 50: 50. In the process of changing lanes at high speed and splitting the mountain road, we felt the true meaning of "driver's car" without delay.
But the opposite of sports and comfort will naturally be XC40? Recharged car comfort is discounted. Sitting in the car can feel a clear sense of the road; Tire noise is also a relatively large noise source in the car during high-speed cruising. Of course, you can't blame Volvo, XC40? The front flat ratio of pneumatic tires is 45, and the rear flat ratio is 40, which is inherently opposite to comfort; Are the four P's configured? The zero tire is also the hardest of the performance tires.
In terms of battery life, XC40? Charging adopts ternary lithium battery of contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd., with capacity of 7 1kWh and cruising range of 400km under WLTP standard. On the day of the test drive, the navigation distance from a hotel in Chengdu to Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area was 83.3km, and the round-trip distance, plus the whole air conditioning and N-layer oil test at the time of shooting, the total mileage exceeded 200km. When the XC40 finally collected the car? The remaining charge is 47%, the data is basically consistent with the actual mileage, and the numerical deviation is about 10-20km.
Scandinavian philosophy and aesthetics endow XC40? RECHARGE's proper city image, while maintaining Volvo family design, is not weak in personalization and futurism. Familiar interior style and surging power experience make people truly feel Volvo's core values besides safety-performance and fun.
If internal combustion engines are feelings and motors are the future, then at present, I hope they can exist for a long time. I like XC40' s maverick, and I like XC40, too? The surging power of charging. The performance, driving interest and young personality advocated by XC40 series are also the brand spirit of Volvo. Together with safety, it should be known to the public.
