The T8 version of Volvo S60 is definitely a "pig eating tiger" guy.
When it comes to Volvo Cars, is it safety, environmental protection and other labels that appear first? But what is different from the past is that there is also a "personality split" in the Volvo product matrix - Volvo S60 T8 version.
First put a group of data, the maximum comprehensive power is 288kW, the maximum torque is 640N · m, and the acceleration from 0-100km/h is 4.7 seconds. It can be seen that the S60 of T8 version hides a restless heart under the low-key appearance.
Returning to the first question, why do the labels of safety and environmental protection appear when Volvo is mentioned? This problem is mainly caused by Volvo's standard city safety system, including full speed automatic braking, emergency avoidance assistance, emergency brake light flashing, etc. In this regard, Volvo believes that "the standard city safety system of the whole system should not be optional, and life safety should not be measured by money."
In addition, high-strength cage safety body, SIPS side impact protection system, WHIPS head and neck protection system, interior environmental protection materials, etc.
Turning to the second topic, because the "safety" label is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many consumers have ignored Volvo's radical side, which is vividly demonstrated in Volvo S60 T8.
"Act as a pig"
What is playing the pig? The S60 of T8 version is as low-key as the S60 of ordinary version.
S60 T8 continues the design of Volvo family in terms of appearance, with clear edges and corners, flat front, and more sense of movement. Compared with the common B4/B5 version, the blackened air intake grille makes the S60 of T8 version show a trace of movement in elegance.
What is different from the ordinary version is the identity symbol of "T8" at the rear of the car. In addition, the overall visual experience is not much different from that of the ordinary version. The luxury version and sports version are provided with two design styles. Volvo's iconic "Thor's Hammer" headlights and "Viking's Axe" rear lights bring high recognition to the vehicle.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Volvo S60 are 4761 * 1850 * 1437mm, and the wheelbase is 2872mm. This standard wheelbase does not seem out of place in today's "L horizontal" era, but is more slender thanks to the simple design of side lines. The tail lamp adopts a smoked design, which has a full sense of hierarchy, and adopts double side exhaust.
The interior design is very "Volvo". The T8 version is the same as the ordinary version. The strong Nordic simplicity is blowing in the face. The central control provides a 9-inch embedded central control screen and a 12.3-inch LCD dashboard. The UI design is also simple and clear, stable and reliable, but there is still room for improvement in intelligence.
In addition, the T8 model is also equipped with sports style seats, and the ride experience is slightly harder than that of the ordinary fuel version s60. As a hybrid model, the battery of S60 T8 model is arranged in the central channel of the vehicle. Although this option sacrifices the space of the central channel and the armrest box, it also allows the vehicle to have a better center of gravity ratio.
In terms of configuration, Volvo S60 T8 top model is equipped with Pilot Assist pilot assistance system, ACC adaptive cruise system, 360 degree panoramic camera, automatic parking system, BLIS blind spot information system, CTA reverse side warning belt brake assistance function, RCW rear collision warning system, HLA uphill assistance function, active follow-up LED headlights, air purification system Air quality real-time monitoring system, chassis active safety system, road identification system and other configurations.
On the whole, the official T8 version, which broke the hundred in 4.7 seconds, lacks a bit of publicity and personality. This can not be seen, but can be felt.
"Eating tigers"
Dynamics is the key to this car.
The power system of Volvo S60 T8 version is a plug-in hybrid power system composed of a 2.0T mechanical+turbocharged engine and an electric motor. The 2.0T engine can output a maximum power of 303 horsepower (223 kW) and a maximum torque of 400 N · m under mechanical and turbocharged conditions; The motor power is 88 horsepower (65 kW), and the maximum torque is 240 N · m. The comprehensive power of the whole system is 391 horsepower (288 kW), and the comprehensive torque is 640 N · m.
The engine also uses Overboost supercharging technology. When accelerating at full throttle, the engine adds an additional torque of 25-30 Nm. The transmission system is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The official acceleration time for 100 km is only 4.7 seconds.
In addition to these book data, in particular, the four-wheel drive model of T8 model adopts the four-wheel drive structure of front oil and rear electricity, with the front wheel driven by the engine and the rear wheel driven by the motor. Since there is no mechanical connection between the front and rear axles, the driving computer will distribute the power output for driving matching, adjust the adhesion between the front and rear wheels and the different ground. In case of skidding, the front and rear power will be distributed intelligently according to the road conditions, so as to avoid the deviation of vehicle attitude and ensure driving safety.
The driving modes of Volvo s60 T8 are: Constant AWD, Pure, Hybrid, Power and Individual.
The power output of the vehicle in the Hybrid mode is much milder than that in the Power mode. When the driving mode of the vehicle is changed from Hybrid to Power under static conditions, the driver's first feeling is that the vehicle is slightly shaken and ready to move.
When the brake is released, the shock will disappear instantly. When you step on the accelerator pedal deeply, you will get a feeling of pushing back. Thanks to the help of the motor, the power performance is linear and abundant.
The performance in the curve is due to the lightweight treatment of the chassis. The chassis structure adopts the independent suspension of the front double wishbone type and the rear multi link type. The rear integrated multi link suspension uses a compound leaf spring instead of the traditional coil spring, which reduces the space occupied by the rear axle and also reduces the weight. It is also equipped with the unique hydraulic damping technology HRS in the Chinese market, which makes the damping change of the rebound stroke more intelligent, can effectively control the body undulation, improve the stability of the body, and improve the dynamic performance.
The performance really deserves the official award - one of the best operated medium-sized cars in Volvo's history.
The capacity of the lithium battery carried by the battery is 11.6kWh, and the official release of the pure electric range is 58km, which only supports slow charging for 8 hours. Taking the normal urban commuting scene as an example, this endurance is also adequate, but it is obviously not the correct way to open the car.
Moreover, S60 T8 model does not provide a pure EV driving mode, and only the pure driving mode can be selected to the maximum extent, so as to minimize engine intervention. In this scenario, control the throttle force to ensure that the pointer on the right side of the instrument panel will not start the engine until it passes the position of the water drop pattern.
Finally, as a whole, Volvo S60 T8 or a muscular man in a suit shows a gentle, low-key and tasteful style every day; Once it is provoked, the 4.7 second explosive force is enough to show that it is not easy to provoke. From the perspective of the terminal market, the sales volume of the T8 model in the s60 product line is not high, and the official guidance price of 399900-461900 yuan seems to have become the threshold that many consumers cannot accept, but it is worth noting that the substantial discount in the terminal market also makes many owners feel that the car is "really fragrant". If the price range of 300000 - 400000 yuan is compared horizontally, What do you think is the probability of success in terms of S60 T8 product strength?
