The most beautiful station wagon-the new Volvo V60 deep test drive

This is the first promotion of Sonic Studio in 2020!

As one of the most concerned station wagons in the past two years, Volvo's brand-new V60 is the heart of many "crock" fans. 1 min short film brings top T5 Zia sports version. Let's get a sneak peek-

"Have we been exquisite?"

"We used to yearn for exquisiteness."

-"Thirteen Invitations" Xu Zhiyuan

The car media never tires of saying that the station wagon will always smell good, but it will never sell well ...? In the eyes of the media, those who like station wagons are old wizards who know cars, and those who don't like them are ordinary consumers. Whether you like station wagons or not seems to be the standard to judge whether life is exquisite or not.

Anyone who cares about Volvo knows that one of its models has been in service for quite a long time. The previous generation S60 was completely updated from 20 1 1. If you happen to be a 50-year-old Volvo fan, I'm afraid you've really waited for the end.

Fortunately, this generation of brand-new V60 can be said to be a delicious meal, and it is not afraid of being late: the SPA platform used with the 90 Series * * * *, the brand-new design, and the more exquisite details all make the fans of the station wagon shine.

Because of the unique body structure, the station wagon always has a unique line beauty and a more balanced feeling from the front and rear oblique angle of 45. Many people often describe the rear of the car as picturesque. But here in the station wagon, it is always better than the car and more delicious than the SUV.

In terms of interior, it is almost as popular as doll design. I don't deny that the unique style of Volvo interior today is cold and simple, which is completely different from the extremely exaggerated Mercedes-Benz interior. But from series 90 to series 60 to series 40, do we need a little different design?

No texture. In addition to the iconic Baohua Weijian audio "downgraded" Harman Kardon, Volvo interior materials's environmental protection has always been a leader in the industry. The flat trunk and panoramic skylight are like the golden partner of sweet soybean milk and fried dough sticks for the station wagon.

Among them, the panoramic skylight can also isolate more than 99% of ultraviolet rays, eliminating the concerns of some female car owners.

The power combination is still a familiar formula and taste. Drive-E？ The T5 engine has a maximum horsepower of 254 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm. Matching Aisin's 8AT gearbox, not to mention BMW 3 Series, at least as tacit as a pair of golden couple. Although you are a pioneer, as long as you are willing to step on the accelerator deeply, more than 95% of the cars on the street are not your opponents.

When the new V60 drives, I feel more like riding an Angus bull with a thick chassis. It's muscular, and even its predecessor can run amok. Chassis training is also like a cold canyon in northern Europe. It is not surprising here, and most of the ups and downs can be handled calmly. Of course, being too calm will be a bit boring, just like IKEA meatballs, which are also Swedish. They are healthy and clean, suitable for all ages, but not as energetic as those dirty stalls on the street.

One thing I am satisfied with about this generation of V60 is that the engine is quieter than other Volvo cars. Friends who are familiar with Volvo know that although its Drive-E engine has won numerous awards, the sound texture during cold start and initial acceleration is like a three-cylinder engine, but the new V60 has been significantly improved.

I also test-drive the previous generation of V60CC, which is as heavy as a tank, and the new V60 basically maintains this fine tradition. Although heavy, my heart is steadfast. After all, Volvo's first impression is safety.

But as a station wagon, one thing I want to vomit is that the seat of the V60 is really not comfortable enough. All-black color matching supplemented by suede material, the design and material are unknown. But during the long-distance driving, my sedentary co-pilot was really uncomfortable. The filler is too hard, and the head and neck can never find a comfortable support point. After sitting on the highway for two hours, I want to have a shoulder and neck physical therapy, the regular kind. ...

Although Volvo's seats have various ergonomic designs, they have no choice in styling. But just like an expensive high-end computer chair, it is never as comfortable as IKEA fabric sofa. If the seat is not soft and comfortable enough, it is unacceptable for the station wagon.

Finally, I want to talk about the significance of Volvo V60 station wagon to you.

China people are probably the most diligent and down-to-earth people in the world. From the city to the countryside, everyone is struggling for the life he yearns for. The ultimate model of perfect life, we may mostly refer to Europe and America.

American big house, big cart and big dog, driving a full-size SUV and dragging a kayak for vacation, this life seems to be out of touch with our reality. The exquisite life in Europe, small and refined, driving a station wagon and carrying luggage to the Alps seems to be closer to our yearning life.

The more powerful practical function of the station wagon seems to be just a gimmick, and the owner label behind it is more valued.

If you drive an Audi S3, you are probably a teenager chasing the wind. If you drive a Land Rover at a young age, it is likely that there is a mine at home; And you drive a station wagon. It doesn't matter whether it's luxurious or not. The owner is likely to be a person who pays attention to taste and pursues the quality of life.

Although the new V60 is not a luxury car, with such a halo blessing, I often feel the envy of the owners around me when I test drive on the streets of Shanghai, including millions of BBA owners.

Whether driving a station wagon can lead an exquisite life is another matter, but at least you have told everyone around you about your pursuit of quality of life. This is the biggest uniqueness of the new Volvo V60.

But at the same time, this kind of self-expression needs to be 30-50 thousand more expensive than BBA of the same level. It seems that the pursuit of exquisiteness really needs a real budget.
