Safety and control coexist-test drive Volvo S60 T5 Zhiya Sports Edition
Perseverance in 1993 has made Volvo a benchmark in the industry in the field of automobile safety and the foundation of the Volvo brand. As early as 1927, when the Swedes Gustaf Larson and Assar Gabrielsson founded Volvo, they said that cars are driven by people. . At Volvo, the principle of doing everything is safety.
Each car brand has its own style, such as Mercedes-Benz for luxury, BMW for driving control, Audi for technology, and Volvo uses its own unique safety concept to create a Volvo-specific style.
It is also based on different brand values that Volvo's technological focus and unique advantages have gradually been recognized by consumers.
Looking at Volvo's overall product sequence, the new Volvo S60 launched at the end of last year is undoubtedly the latest one, even later than the new V60 wagon.
Before the test drive, Auto-First had high expectations for the new S60. First, it was also based on the good dynamic performance of the XC60 built under the SPA architecture, even if it was a higher chassis SUV; second, the new S60 is no longer lengthened and maintains the original flavor.
The model tested this time is a 2.0T Drive-E T5+8AT power combination, with a maximum power of 184kW and a maximum torque of 350N·m. Such power parameters are completely comparable to the high-power version of the same level of BBA. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of different consumer groups, Volvo also developed three different powers for this 2.0T Drive-E engine in addition to T5 high power, including T3 (120kW, 300 N·m), T4 (140kW, 300 N·m) and T8 plug-in hybrid (223kW, 400 N·m), it can be said that the material is used to the extreme.
At the same time, in order to cope with different driving styles and different road conditions, the new S60 also brings 4 different driving mode options.
Wandering between cities, Eco economy mode and Comfort mode are undoubtedly the best choices. The throttle response will not be too sensitive, and the power will be linearly involved. This Aisin 8AT gearbox can easily understand your intentions and shift up. , The downshift is just right, and the shift is quite smooth.
The new S60 brings more of a sporty feeling. Of course, this does not mean blindly hard. After all, this car is optimized for the overall road conditions in China.
Safety and environmental protection are naturally topics that Volvo cannot avoid. Volvo's active and passive safety is obvious to all. Here, Auto-First wants to mention the health issues that consumers are more concerned about in the post-epidemic era.
