A sense of calm luxury
This S60 model brings two sets of appearance styles for the first time, namely the luxury version and the sports version. The model we tested this time is a luxury version. Compared with the black grille and black style kit of the sports version, the deluxe version adopts chrome-plated decorative strips in appearance, which highlights exquisiteness. The domestic S60 does not lengthen the wheelbase, but retains the aesthetic feeling carefully carved by Nordic designers.
Family-style design is just right for S60. The lighting effect of Raytheon hammer LED headlights is very prominent, and the waterfall grille of China Net also brings a strong sense of strength.
The body of S60 is made of 40% boron steel, and the whole system comes standard with "City" in active safety. Safety "urban safety system, others such as lane keeping and adaptive cruise are standard." And the excellent results of foreign crash tests are enough to show that S60L is excellent in safety performance.
The shape of the rear end is quite similar to that of Big Brother S90, but the design of E-tail lamp is more personalized, and there is a double-sided single exhaust pipe design below. T4 at the end indicates that this is a 2.0T version, and the maximum power is 190PS. Other models also have a plug-in hybrid version T8, with a maximum power of 390PS, and it takes only 4.6 seconds to break 100. Maximum power of T3 model 163PS, and maximum power of T5 model is 250PS.
Environmentally friendly and healthy interior
Volvo put forward the definition of health as a luxury. The interior of S60 is all made of environmentally friendly and healthy materials. No matter the central control panel or the leather seat, there is no smell, not to mention the double-effect enhanced air filtration system with its own filtration function, which brings the fresh Scandinavian sea breeze.
The three multi-function steering wheels have just the right grip, and the left and right sides are designed with multi-function buttons, making the operation more convenient; 12.3-inch full LCD instrument with delicate display effect, which can change styles according to driving mode; The 8-inch central control large screen adopts vertical layout, with simple interface and smooth operation, and the layout can be customized according to users' habits.
The T4 model for test drive is equipped with one-button start, driving mode selection, electronic handbrake and automatic parking function. The starting mode is knob, and the driving mode is roller. The operation has a strong sense of ceremony, and the technology of knob and roller is also exquisite.
Although there is no extended wheelbase design, the S60 still has the spacious space that a mid-size car should have. The front seat is one-piece, well wrapped, and the leather is also very environmentally friendly, without any odor.
The comfort of the back row is better, not only the space is more stretched, but also the filling of the seat is softer. The air outlet is located at the doors on both sides, and there is an independent cup holder and storage space in the back row. The trunk has regular opening, straight internal layout and electric tailgate function.
2.0T power with 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
Among the three versions of 2.0T, T4 has a moderate tuning, with a maximum power of 190PS, and is equipped with Aisin 8AT automatic manual transmission. The supercharging technology of the same configuration of the Overboost engine can obtain an additional peak torque of about 30Nm, which is more suitable for overtaking when driving in cities.
In terms of chassis suspension, Volvo's new S60 is somewhat different. The combination of front double wishbone and rear integrated multi-link gives consideration to the flexibility, stability and comfort of control. The suspension parts are made of lightweight all-aluminum material, equipped with HRS hydraulic damping technology, and the rear suspension adopts composite leaf spring instead of the previous coil spring, which not only saves space, but also brings better roll control.
Walking through the city, the new S60 gearbox shows good ride comfort. No matter at high speed or low speed, the throttle response is light and the speed remains low. Even in the economic mode, the engine has a good output and will not feel lack of power. However, in sport mode, the response of the throttle and gearbox becomes more active, the output is more radical, and the delayed upshift provides stronger power.
The ease of S60 driving is reflected in two aspects: steering feel and chassis adjustment. The front suspension of the double wishbone was originally due to McPherson, the front wheels were more flexible, and with comfortable steering, the performance of Volvo S60 in corners gave people great confidence. The icing on the cake is the support of the rear suspension, and the HRS hydraulic damping system ensures comfortable filtration. At the same time, the integrated leaf spring has the function of stabilizing rod, so that there will be no obvious roll when cornering at high speed.
The safest mid-level car
On the brand-new S60, we saw Volvo's persistence, excellent safety performance and healthy and environmentally friendly materials. The new power system provides an output style more suitable for daily driving, while the black technology on the chassis brings a more stable and balanced driving experience. After the slightly dull family-style design in S90 is reduced by a circle, it is more harmonious here in S60. The brand-new S60 is still the car with its own independent personality, which is not grandiose and unpretentious, and exquisitely embodies the "people-oriented" car-making philosophy.
