In terms of appearance, the new car will continue to provide two different style kits for consumers to choose from, the luxury version and the sports version. The difference between the two front faces is mainly the design of fog lights. In addition, we can see that the new model is outfitted with a new 3D mirror-like LOGO, and the interior trim of the grille is embellished with black elements.

The overall side of the new car has not changed much, but in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4708/1902/1658mm and the wheelbase is 2865mm, which is 20mm longer than the current model. The obvious change at the rear of the car is the concealed exhaust design. In addition, the tail label has been changed from T4 and T5 to B4 and B5, which means that the new car is equipped with a 48V motor.
Interior: the localization and upgrading of the car machine have greatly increased its practicality.
In terms of interior, the new car is mainly upgraded for configuration, and the entry-level model can have a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 9-inch central control screen. Of course, the key upgrade is the new car system, which is developed based on the native Android system. Under the premise of retaining good operational logic, the overall functionality has been greatly improved, especially with the addition of the interactive voice function of Tmall Elf and Iflytek, the localization upgrade effect is very remarkable.
In terms of configuration, the new car can have City Safety urban intelligent safety system, front and rear parking assistance system, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone air conditioning, active cockpit pre-purification, voice recognition, digital service package (free trial in the first year), and electric adjustment. Front seats, etc. Advanced Nappa leather seats (with front row ventilation/massage/lateral support), B&O audio, HUD head-up display, negative ion four-zone air conditioning, 360 panoramic image, intelligent navigation assistance system, ACC adaptive cruise, blind spot information system, reversing vehicle side warning system, backward collision warning system, etc.
Power: The whole system is equipped with a 2.0T engine.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a brand-new light mixing system composed of 2.0T+48V motors. According to different adjustments, the maximum power is 197 HP (B4) and 250 HP (B5), which is still matched with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The high-equipped T8 model continues to adopt a plug-in hybrid system consisting of 2.0T+ motors, with a comprehensive maximum power of 390 HP and a peak torque of 640 Nm, and its maximum pure electric cruising range is 50km.
● Test drive review
My colleague had previously tested the B5 model (2.0T+48V). First of all, the start-stop function of the new car is obviously optimized, and the engine can be almost moistened when it is started or turned off. In addition, with the support of 48V system, it can realize a longer idle stop, and the electrical appliances in the car are completely unaffected.
The overall driving experience of the new XC60 is still a character that pays more attention to comfort. Its power output is not urgent, the gearbox shifts gently, the chassis is flexible and crisp, the steering is light and NVH is excellent. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the new car does not have the choice of driving mode (no economy, comfort and sports, only the off-road mode is reserved) and the close button of the stability control system, which are all controlled by the vehicle itself. In fact, it is hoped that the driver can be left with more room for independent choice in driving.
● Model history
The first generation model of Volvo XC60 was born in 2008. It is the third SUV owned by Volvo after XC70 and XC90. It carries Volvo’s latest design language and cutting-edge active safety technology at that time, and its audience is all sophisticated elements. The first generation XC60 entered China in 2009. Although BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK were already available in the domestic market at that time, XC60 quickly gained market recognition, and even needed to increase the price to buy it. At that time, the price range of new cars was 558,000-648,000 yuan!
In 2014, Volvo XC60 joined the domestic army. However, unlike many domestic car companies, the domestic Volvo XC60 still keeps the original flavor of imported models as much as possible. Not only are the appearance, interior and body size almost the same as those of imported models, but it is also equipped with Volvo’s newly developed Drive-E engine. At the same time, the price range has dropped to 366,900-539,900 yuan, which is closer to consumers at the same level.
In 2017, Volvo officially launched the second generation XC60. The new car was replaced with Volvo’s brand-new family-style design language, and the Nordic style appearance and interior design were refreshing. Domestic models continue to retain the characteristics of original imported models, and were officially listed at the end of the same year, with a price of 369,900-609,900 yuan. In the era when people gradually improve their awareness of environmental protection and safety, the Nordic air and active safety functions provided by Volvo have gradually gained a lot of fans, and even achieved good results of over 10,000 monthly sales.
● Competitors
In fact, when it comes to luxury brand medium-sized SUVs, the first reaction of domestic consumers is always ABB’s Audi Q5L, Mercedes-Benz GLC L and BMW X3. These three giants are as prosperous as Wei Shuwu in the Three Kingdoms period. Volvo XC60 is more the first choice for consumers not to buy German brands, but in the second-tier luxury brand lineup, Lexus has always been Volvo’s biggest rival, and Cadillac is rising rapidly; Among the May sales recently announced, Volvo XC60 sold a total of 6,224 vehicles and Cadillac XT5 sold 5,314 vehicles. Although the sales volume of Lexus NX has not been announced, it will usher in a new generation of vehicles on June 12, and the impact is not small.
● Edit comments
From January to May this year, the cumulative sales volume of Volvo in China reached 78,434 vehicles, of which the sales volume of Volvo XC60 reached 27,622 vehicles, and the single model accounted for more than one third of the whole brand. Its performance may even affect the fate of Volvo brand in China. The new Volvo XC60 has completed a small step of self-upgrading, and the overall product strength has been visibly improved, but it is still too early to surpass ABB’s three mountains, and Cadillac XT5 and Lexus NX should not be underestimated. So whether the new Volvo XC60 can remain competitive and gain a foothold in the second-tier luxury brands remains to be seen. (Text/car home Guo Chen)
