The market for mid-range sports cars is fiercely competitive, but it has very few options. Under the labels of luxury and sport, the evergreen tree of BMW Three Series can be called by name.
It is necessary to emphasize that the movement referred to here does not mean only fierce appearance, but rather emphasizes the “open up” aspect.
The Audi A4L is more comfortable, and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is more than luxurious. However, Alfa Romeo, which has under-manufactured control and entered the Chinese market with high toes, has achieved first-rate dynamic performance, but its sales have been sluggish due to assembly and reliability reasons.
The Cadillac ATS-L, which was already a battlefield, has been discontinued, and the follower CT5 is on the stage. The market has yet to settle. At the Guangzhou Auto Show, the Volvo S60 also made a strong start to pre-sale, and we also got on this new car as soon as it went on the market.
Axis? Applause or not? Volvo: Fun for you
Unlike the previous S60L, the update brought by Volvo this time is a standard model. Without L, it is “pure” in terms of riders.
But the cruel market tells us that luxury cars with L are easy to sell. Not to mention the long-time originator Audi A6L, let’s talk about today’s three-line, the sportsman who is famous for sports is also a big sale after the extended version. Although BMW also offers the benchmark version, the market share of the two versions is obvious to everyone.
Axle model, this authentic style in ChinaThe status quo is “you buy me recommend, really buy me not buy.
So the Volvo S60 launched at this point is a bit risky. But don’t be fooled by Volvo! This is a brand new model.
Although the dimensions of this vehicle’s measurements have not been announced in detail, it has been a while for the new S60 to be replaced abroad. The new vehicle has a final measurement of 4761 × 1850 × 1437mm and a wheelbase of 2872mm.
Friends who are familiar with the previous generation S60L (4715 × 1866 × 1481mm) must have seen the clue from the data. Except for the width and height, the length and wheelbase of the new S60 are better than the old models.
In other words, in terms of vertical space, the S60 is “lighter and darker” than the S60L. Although the width and height have been tightened, the new car has a more compact and dynamic appearance, and there are gains and losses.
About the interior, it is necessary to add that the interior design of the S60 still adheres to Volvo’s fine style, luxurious but not exaggerated. The strong texture is comfortable, but it will not be stressful and hard to control.
This 2m improvement also benefits from three technologies:
HBA Emergency Brake Assist: By judging the driver’s braking intention, the system will pressurize the braking system in advance if the accelerator is suddenly pulled in order to eliminate the response time and shorten the vehicle braking distance.
BC brake disc cleaning: In rainy and snowy weather, the brakes will be controlled at regular intervals for slight braking, and the rain and other stains on the surface of the brake discs will be removed to maintain the good working condition of the brake system.
FBS brake attenuation assistance: In the case of long downhill or moderate to heavy braking, the braking force of the vehicle will gradually decrease, and the brake decay compensation system will boost the brake to maintain normal braking performance.
Compared to competitors, Volvo’s conscience is reflected in the standard of City SafetyThis system is composed of three functions: full-speed automatic braking, emergency avoidance assistance, and flashing of emergency braking lights.
Explained the emergency avoidance assist function, which may not be easy to understand literally. Volvo’s logic is that the system will prepare for the steering and braking system when the system determines that the braking force has been unable to avoid a rear-end collision. When the user makes an emergency avoidance action, the steering system amplifies the user’s steering angle to obtain the maximum avoidance effect. At the same time, the dynamic stability and traction control system are involved to help the vehicle avoid obstacles.
Volvo also provides an evasion function that is not available at the same level. For example, when a vehicle overpasses at a speed of 60-140km / h, once the oncoming vehicle is approaching, and the system determines that a collision is about to occur, the system automatically enables the steering assist function. , Turn the vehicle back to its original lane. If the oncoming vehicle enters its own lane, the system will also alert the user and brake to slow down.
Compared to many cars’ lane departure warnings, the S60 handles more details in detail. Volvo does not resort to rudely dragging the steering wheel, but tightens the seat belt to remind the driver.
