In Volvo's concept of building a car, safety is almost above everything else, which also gives people an illusion invisibly: the performance of Volvo cars may not be outstanding. However, when I was driving Volvo's brand-new S60, the first thing I noticed was its excellent sports performance, which also made me realize that there is no conflict between safety and sports. Of course, you can have your cake and eat it.
It is more reassuring to rise to health and safety.
There are always considerate friends around us, who often pay attention to the details of getting along with each other and take full care of your feelings. In fact, during driving Volvo's brand-new S60, it also brought me similar feelings, especially the unique peace of mind.
Volvo car has always been called the safest car, which makes sense, and the peace of mind and comfort it brings me also comes from this. When the safety of most cars still stays in accident safety, Volvo cars have risen to health considerations. Every time you turn the one-button start button of Volvo's brand-new S60, there will be a big column with the name CITY? The names of active safety configurations related to the safe city safety system are self-evident, and it is hard to imagine that these configurations will appear as standard on Volvo's brand-new S60.
This set of seats of Volvo's brand-new S60 also makes me feel better. I can get a good support by sitting on the lumbar spine which is the most easily suspended, and after several long-distance driving, my waist has no discomfort at all. After in-depth study, it was discovered that S60 chair was designed by orthopedic experts and developed based on the consideration of human skeleton and muscle health. It is really commendable.
"Opening the door is northern Europe" is not bragging?
Among more than 80 countries in the world/KLOC-0, the air quality in Northern Europe and Sweden can rank in the top three, and Volvo Cars has always emphasized its indoor air superiority by "opening the door to Northern Europe". At first, I thought it was a slightly exaggerated advertising slogan, until I got on the car of Volvo S60 and instantly realized that it was not empty talk.
In fact, the interior materials of Volvo's brand-new S60 is made of green and pollution-free materials, so it is no exaggeration to use the word "abnormal" to describe it. For example, most models will use asphalt damping patches as sound insulation materials for vehicles, while Volvo uses water-soluble sprayable damping materials, which are three times more expensive and will not produce volatile harmful gases even at high temperatures in summer. In addition, the car passed the strict three-level inspection system of materials, systems and vehicles when testing the air quality, and used the high temperature of 65℃ to test the air quality inside the car, which was also 2.6 times of the national standard.
When I entered Volvo's brand-new S60 car in the sun several times, I naturally thought there would be some discomfort, but I really couldn't smell any peculiar smell except the temperature change. And when driving through some areas that are prone to odor, Volvo's brand-new S60 CLEANZONE? The cabin cleaning system can also filter out some peculiar smells. Its ACC double-effect enhanced air purification system can filter out particles with a diameter less than 1 micron by electrostatic adsorption, and the particle size of many harmful gases is at this level.
A self-disciplined figure always makes people look better.
In the spectrum, red has the largest wavelength, so it is the most eye-catching color. But what fascinates me most about this red Volvo S60 is its compact and tense figure. Just like on the street, the first thing that attracts our attention is not the face value, but the figure. A good figure always makes people can't help but look at it more.
Volvo's brand-new S60 is one of the few models in the same class, and its body proportion is equivalent to that of overseas models. It is completely loyal to the original, and has an indescribable sense of sports beauty in front of a long list of competing products. The sports performance contained in the wheelbase of 2872mm body will not be attenuated by the elongation of the above-mentioned models, and at the same time, considerable rear space can be guaranteed.
Sports car-class performance, truly have a tiger in mind.
It is no exaggeration to say that Volvo S60 is the most underestimated model in its class, because people are often "blinded" by its excellent safety and health performance. When you really hold the steering wheel of S60 yourself, you will find that this athletic performance can't be hidden, and it is more obvious than the first two advantages.
The T8 version I contacted can be said to be the most powerful Volvo model at present, and there is actually a beast-like heart hidden under the elegant shape. The 4-wheel drive combination equipped with a 2.0T dual-supercharged engine and a rear motor can generate a maximum power of 288kW and a peak torque of 640n·m in Generate. The official acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 4.6 seconds, which has become a sports car level.
It is worth mentioning that the T8 version of the 2.0T engine adopts the unique mechanical+turbocharging technology at the same level, which is often carried on the flagship models of luxury brands. Moreover, the turbo lag phenomenon is well solved by mechanical pressurization, and the turbine is driven at medium and high speed, so that this 2.0T engine has the output texture of a large displacement engine, and the power output is delicate and smooth.
Of course, this smooth power output characteristic is inseparable from the credit of 8AT gearbox. I was impressed by the ride comfort of the T5 version. On the T8, the performance of this transmission is still excellent. No matter at low speed or high speed, the right foot frequently presses and retracts the accelerator, and there is no sense of frustration. This function is very friendly to city driving, and it is easy to control the vehicle when driving fiercely.
New S60? T8 provides a constant? AWD (all-wheel drive), pure (driving efficiency), hybrid (daily use) and power (flexible driving) are four driving modes. The driving experience of pure hybrid mode is close, which is the mode of motor priority. Even so, its acceleration experience is not as abrupt as traditional electric vehicles. If the engine continues to step on the accelerator deeply, it will get a strong acceleration experience. The other two modes, constant? AWD and the feelings of power can also be grouped together. In these two modes, the engine and motor will drive the vehicle at the same time most of the time, and a strong sense of acceleration can be obtained at any time. At this time, it can be clearly felt that the suspension of the vehicle has become harder and the tiger in the car seems to be awakened.
When I was in constancy. When cornering at a high speed in AWD and power mode, I can obviously feel the support of suspension, and I can hardly feel the discomfort caused by rolling in the car. The high tracking performance brought by the four-wheel drive system also makes me more confident. Compared with the comfortable feeling when using hybrid or pure motion mode in the city, this kind of intense sensory stimulation is really another kind of fun, which many cars of the same class can't give.
Finally, in fact, the original intention of "you can't have both" is not to say that you can't have both, but to tell us how to choose. Performance and safety are not contradictory, but better performance can improve driving safety to some extent. People who have driven the expressway must have a deep understanding that if they drive a vehicle with stronger acceleration, they can escape from the scene of the accident faster; Speaking of fast lane change, steering is as important as the confidence brought by the chassis; Even in case of emergency braking, stronger braking performance can avoid the risk of rear-end collision. I also have some understanding of why Volvo S60' s extreme safety and health still hides good sports performance, which is actually the concept it has been pursuing.
