Volvo S60: Refined and elegant new appearance, pursuing both comfort and safety!

From the 80s, 90s to the post-00s, each generation of young people pay more and more attention to individuality when purchasing products. In contrast, in the automobile industry from the 1990s to today, the differences in models between different brands have become more and more important. Small, it can even be said that some of them have lost their original tone. However, in my opinion, there is one car that has always maintained its expertise and has always pursued relatively high comfort and safety. It is the Volvo S60.

First of all, let’s take a quick review of Volvo’s new S60 car. It continues Volvo’s simple family style in appearance and interior design. Its delicate and elegant shape is absolutely outstanding in today’s mid-level cars. It can be said to be a school of its own and very eye-catching. This time Volvo also launched a luxury version and a sports version for the S60, two different appearance styles.

In terms of appearance, the "Thor's Hammer" headlights, as the logo of the new Volvo models, will naturally not be absent, and they are highly recognizable whether it is day or night.

The taillights are very similar to the S90 and also use LED light sources. The large-diameter exhaust outlets on both sides not only add beauty in this market where "fake environmental protection" is the beauty, but also increase the A sincerity.

Simplicity is also the general tone of the interior of Volvo's new S60. A 9-inch multimedia display screen in the center integrates most vehicle control functions, similar to the simple operation logic and function division of a smartphone, making it It is very easy to use. For example, swipe right, left, or down from the home screen to switch to the vehicle function control menu, media function control menu, and settings interface respectively. The function buttons in each menu can also be arranged in a personalized manner. , making the car system more in line with your usage habits.

In addition, frequently used functions such as air conditioning will remain at the bottom of the screen for a long time. You can quickly control air conditioning and seat ventilation/heating with just a tap at any time. and other functions to adjust. In the air-conditioning department, Volvo has also upgraded the CLEANZONE clean cockpit system this time and introduced the AAC (Advanced Air Cleaner) dual-effect enhanced air purification system, which can efficiently filter particulate matter (PM1) with a diameter of less than 1 micron, as much as possible. Keep virus-adsorbing particles out of the car. Inside the car, Volvo's new S60 has two very interesting little details worth mentioning. The first is that there is a smart start button under the main driver's windshield with smart shifting, which is very comfortable.

The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is not independently designed on the S60. It is very common on other Volvo models. It has a full grip and moderate thickness. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has a delicate feel. The steering wheel is still a safety expert from Sweden. Autoliv, a premium supplier, provides seat belts, airbags, steering wheels, etc. that they develop and produce on almost all models.

Let’s talk about space. I think considering the positioning of Volvo’s new S60 mid-size car, its rear space itself will not be a big problem, and compared to the size of the leg room, I think I think whether it is comfortable to sit on is more worthy of attention.

In terms of power, after talking about the above tangible things, let’s talk about driving quality. Volvo’s new S60 series comes standard with Drive-E? 2.0T engine, divided by maximum output power There are three power levels: T3, T4, and T5, with corresponding maximum horsepowers of 163Ps, 190Ps, and 250Ps respectively. A T8 hybrid model equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine + electric motor has also been launched.

The chassis and suspension are adjusted to be firmer, with better road feel, which is conducive to improved driving performance. It also filters road vibrations better. There will be vibration when passing through the shock absorbing belt, but the rebound is timely. Taking into account the comfort of riding. The front and rear seats are very well wrapped and supportive, further improving comfort.

The appearance of the car, with length, width and height dimensions of 4761/1850/1437mm and wheelbase of 2872mm, emphasizes sportiness while taking into account family use. It is still a relatively practical car.

Currently, the guide price of this car is between 286,900 and 380,900. The value retention rate in the first year is 56.38%, the value retention rate in the second year is 50.38%, and the value retention rate in the third year is 43.65%. Overall, the value retention rate is 56.38%. In other words, the price-performance ratio of this car is average, but you have to choose according to your own wishes. My feeling is that this car is very safe and comfortable.
