In terms of interior design, Volvo is an old hand with profound skills. On the new generation S60 model, Volvo's designer is obviously? Lazy? Directly apply a set of interiors that are completely synchronized with the XC60 model.
But this set still meets your high expectations for a Volvo model, whether it is visual layering or the carving of details everywhere.
Three R-shaped steering wheels with small diameter and full grip are wrapped in high-grade leather, which makes people fondle it and has a strong sense of communication with mechanical parts. But it's worth pointing out that the steering wheel is double-stitched? A sense of existence? It seems too strong, and there will be slight hand injuries in daily driving, which makes people feel strange.
As a morbid pursuit of security? Steel straight man? Volvo obviously does not allow elements that distract drivers to be displayed on the dashboard. Therefore, the entertainment information is briefly displayed in the lower right with a text title, and the speed limit prompt is always displayed on the speedometer with a red pointer. As long as you don't wear your seat belt, the middle area where navigation belongs will always display conspicuous warnings.
Short and pithy lighting/wiper poles are obviously the standard of Volvo models (including Lectra); The stopwatch reset button at the end of the turn light pole made me look for it for a long time before I found it.
As a major feature of Volvo models, this 9-inch? Windows Phone？ This lathe, with vertically arranged UI, can catch everyone's attention at the first time. Although Apple Carplay is supported, there is still a huge room for improvement in the stability of actual connection and the logic of UI design.
At the same time, I also oppose the practice of canceling most physical buttons and even throwing out driving options such as lane departure assistance, ESC, automatic start and stop, and air conditioning system. Into the screen, what's more, this screen especially likes fingerprints.
Compared with the highly integrated central control screen, this mechanical shift lever, which does not seem to belong to the new 20 19 car, appears on the center console of the new generation S60. Let's not talk about which is more advanced, short-stroke mechanical gear shift lever or electronic gear shift lever. What do you mean by large damping when shifting gears?
At the same time, Volvo's answer turned out to be this short and tight mechanical gear lever, which even I struggled to break off, let alone a weak female driver. Yes, this design is very straight.
Later, I learned that this module of gear lever+start knob+driving mode switch+handbrake switch is the same model of S90 car, perhaps because of the platform, a new electronic gear lever similar to XC40 car was not adopted.
Of course, looking at the exquisite workmanship and cold hand feeling like handicrafts, I believe you will temporarily ignore the unhappiness brought by mechanical gears.
Harman/Kardon audio set 14 speaker is an exclusive option for the new generation S60 top-mounted and above models. When the vehicle is stationary, the sound field is wide, the rhythm is well grasped, and the vocal interpretation is satisfactory. However, the listening effect after the car runs is quite satisfactory, and it is not as amazing as expected.
Exquisite polished/brushed metal decorative plates are all over the interior space of the new generation S60. It is in sharp contrast with the odorless, tasteless and exquisite imitation leather material, creating a Nordic-style space for the car? Sexual apathy? Feel, see/feel that's all.
On the door panel, high-grade enamel plastic, metal, high-grade fabric, leather and other elements cover all the positions that your arm can touch, showing endless consideration under the aesthetic guidance of straight men.
After enjoying the interior of the new generation S60, I just want to say: Exquisite is not achieved overnight. It takes time to accumulate a set of ergonomic good interiors; The treatment of materials, the collocation of various materials and the adjustment of the overall tone are the foundation of the old luxury car enterprises.
Expand the rest of the paper (1/6) 2 Mechanical part analysis &; Analysis on Mechanical Literacy of Actual Test Results Returning to the Top of the List
As the latest automobile product born on the SPA platform, the new generation S60 adopts a boron steel body with a proportion as high as 35%. The highest strength of this material is 1600 MPa, which is about four times that of high-strength steel. With reasonable stress frame design and first-class detail workmanship (the engine compartment has no glue traces, all of which are precision welded), it is expected that the new generation S60 will receive the IIHS top safety Pick+ rating and E-NCAP five-star evaluation.
In the engine room of Volvo S60, a brand-new Drive-E T5 engine is placed as close as possible to the front axle, thus giving Volvo S60 stronger forward directivity. This 2.0T engine is matched with Aisin 8AT gearbox which is standard in the whole system, and will transmit 184kW(250PS), 350N? M's power is transmitted to the nearest front axle, creating a better acceleration result in the same level.
Of course, as a luxury brand product, gasoline above 95 is definitely indispensable. Exquisite fuel tank cover workmanship, coupled with friendly rear suspension aluminum alloy hem arm, shows that Volvo is in? Can't see? Ways to cut costs.
Although the parameters of the front double wishbone+rear multi-link suspension look poor, but the tough training can still make people? Shine at the moment? , achieving relatively good lateral support in the same level, although flexibility is dragged down by dynamic response.
At the same time, the new generation S60 is equipped with bilateral * * * double exhaust pipes, compared with the current popular? False exhaust? The routine is more sincere and more in line with your expectations for a sports car.
Various test data ● 100-kilometer accelerated test
Start the ESC sport mode+release the brake and eject. When the speed is swept to 1800rpm, the front wheels of the new generation S60 slip, even though Pirelli P ZERO tires with quite good grip have been equipped. In the whole speed range of 1, the torsional steering and slight bouncing feeling of the front axle caused by tire burning will continue.
As for the control of body posture, the new generation S60 performs quite well. Although the front suspension is stretched/the rear suspension is compressed, the overall posture of the car body is decent thanks to the extremely short suspension stroke.
It is worth mentioning that the shift power vacuum phenomenon of the new generation S60 model is very obvious when it is in 1 liter second gear and 2 liter third gear, and the shift time is slightly longer; And at this time, the whole car seems to suddenly lose power until the next gear is combined. This shows that the adjustment idea of Aisin 8AT gearbox and the torque capacity of hydraulic torque converter are still conservative, and there is still a clear gap with the opponents equipped with vertical ZF 8AT gearbox.
In the end, the new generation S60 model achieved the best result of 6.90s Although it was a little slower than the official 6.5s, it was excellent for a front-wheel drive to finish in 7 seconds, which was basically close to the performance of the previous generation FF steel cannon.
●100km braking test
In the 100-kilometer braking test, under the braking force provided by the front double-piston rear single-piston braking system, the new generation S60 has obvious? Nod? Phenomenon, but fortunately there is no sign of slipping in the whole process, which gives the driver enough confidence.
Except? Open it? The braking distance of Cadillac CT5 and S60 is still good in the same class. If the standard four Pirelli P zero tires are upgraded, the braking performance may be better.
● Internal noise test
In the noise test, the performance of the new generation S60 is at the downstream level of the same level. No matter the obvious engine running noise at idle speed or the tire noise/wind noise that increases rapidly after running, it has no advantage compared with competitors at the same level. Wind and fire? This feeling.
3 appearance analysis returns to the top design review.
Seeing a new generation of S60 at first sight, the kind that keeps people away? Cold? The gas field emanates from the slender and harmonious proportion of the car body. Although S90 follows Volvo's new generation of family-style design language, S90 is more like a graceful senior intellectual, while S60 is more like an exquisite sports man.
Exquisite Thor's Hammer? T-shaped LED headlight group not only has perfect eye-catching, but also undertakes the task of broadening the visual width of the front face. All in all, a new generation of S60? Width+flat? The front face design not only creates stable and reliable visual cues, but also has a layered experience beyond its price.
Are you online? Thor's hammer? Inside the headlight group, LED matrix beads supporting timely adjustment of the irradiation range are regularly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the T-shaped daytime running lights. After the system is started, it can monitor the traffic conditions nearby in real time, and block the LED bulbs of high beam in some directions to avoid disturbing the sight of other drivers. I am satisfied with the actual use effect.
Generous hexagonal grid, with chrome-plated edges and internal black dot matrix design elements, will it be Volvo's iconic? ♂? LOGO is surrounded in the center, giving people an inexplicable sense of security; As the usual handwriting of sports cars, the fog light area of the new generation S60 outlines the shape of wings with contrast design, which lays the foundation for the sports design of the front face.
When the slender and flat engine compartment cover is plump? Rush to the axle? The distance from the front axle to the dashboard, I believe many people will be confused by the clever touch of Volvo designers, thinking that the new generation S60 is the standard FR sports car. In fact, based on the SPA platform, it is just a FF car.
As mentioned earlier, where is Volvo? Lose money where you can't see it? Men's show brand. Where can you see it? Whether it is the exquisite Volvo LOGO on the wiper, or the rearview mirror and window frame trim with beautiful shape and meticulous workmanship, Volvo's understanding of the word exquisite is reflected.
18-inch petal-shaped double five-spoke shape, one bright and one dark contrast design, Volvo designers skillfully amplified the visual impact of the rim, making people even have the illusion of 19-inch rim from a distance.
Skillful rising window line and slightly raised muscle rear wheel arch inject more vitality into the side design of the new generation S60. Just like a straight man in a cloak, man show clearly implies his outstanding sportiness.
Responding to the slender front is the slightly stiff rear. With the help of the design tolerance brought by SPA platform, the new generation S60 changes the slightly shorter rear of the old model and forms a connection with the passenger compartment contour with smooth curvature. This unhurried line can be described as more and more stylish.
Looking at the side at 45 degrees, can you see that Volvo designers are designing the rear of the car? Be careful? Before the rear fender intersects with the tailgate cover, taillight group and lower bumper, it is obviously chamfered to form a complete plane, which attracts people's attention. You know, it is a great test for the sheet metal level of automobile enterprises to realize the complex and changeable polyline trend and the tolerance of at least four faces within the range allowed by the naked eye. Is this scheme sure for designers and sheet metal masters? Had a fight? After that, I got a proud job.
A bright red car company, just the right duckling tail, I think this is the best understanding of the word passion in Northern Europe. Eye-catching rear dart taillights are not only the embodiment of Volvo family design, but also the steel outline when lit at night is even more exciting.
Bilateral * * * double exhaust with GT sports car charm perfectly blends with the rear styling of the new generation S60, showing the visual stimulation that a sports car should have. It is its specialty to seduce the eyes of adult male animals all the time.
In my opinion, the new generation S60 looks like an exquisite sports straight man. He wears a cloak, walks with the wind, has a face that fascinates thousands of opposite sex, and has a straight male aesthetic that is inadvertently revealed.
From the same level of opponents? Design for design? Jumping out of the cycle, it is difficult for the new generation S60 to return the goods.

5 Comfortable experience &; Spatial analysis of top seat comfort: Spatial representation
In the eye-catching ergonomic chair, Volvo's design technique is very excellent: the support that fits all parts of the human body, the top leather touch of the opponent, can not be found in the models below 1 10,000, and always starts from the legs. Bags? The lateral restraint on the shoulders and the advanced fabric material with both environmental protection and friction make this seat noble? The strongest ergonomic design in its class? The throne.
Unique and huge? Horn? The leg rest supports and restricts the driver's leg even more than the higher-class models, as does Volvo's patented lightweight headrest. Sitting in this seat, it seems that the whole person is completely wrapped up, and at the same time, the movements of hands/legs will not be unreasonably bound, thus achieving a lasting experience.
However, it is worth pointing out that even if this pair of seats is minimized, there is still the danger of sitting high, which leads to the fact that the actual height of the driver's hip point from the ground is high in the same level, which needs everyone's attention.
The dexterous small storage compartment and the storage part of the fully open cup holder provide convenience for drivers and passengers to place various small items. However, it is worth pointing out that it has not set up a dedicated and suitable storage space for mobile phones, and it is not very sympathetic to the national feelings at this moment of 20 19.
In the back seat riding experience, the new generation S60 has no advantage in the same class. 1. Extremely vertical cushion/low cushion height from the ground/poor cushion upturning angle? What's wrong with sitting? Secondly, the lateral space of the back seat is not particularly abundant, and the bulge in the middle is very obvious, which is equivalent to a car. A four-person car? ; Third, the padding of the rear seat cushion is thin and hard, which is easy to cause passenger fatigue; Fourthly, the coverage area of panoramic skylight is too small; Fifth, there is not even a USB charging interface+air conditioning control panel in the back row, and even the air conditioning outlet is only two on the side B-pillar.
In the performance of the tail box, the new generation S60 is limited by the shape of the tail light group, with narrow opening, high ground clearance and average internal width. The advantages brought by FF architecture do not seem obvious. Fortunately, the long tail shape brings a deep internal depth, so more luggage can be put down without supporting the rear seat to fall down.
Oh, yes, it doesn't even have the function of closing the electric tailgate cover.
6 End of Text/No surprise: The top end of Hammer of Thor.
? Sports straight man? What's it like to run into each other? Cold as frost? General interior design, supplemented by? Awesome? Mechanical performance is the best overview of Volvo S60 in front of us.
Who is its audience?
To be sure, not ABB's kind? Young and old Xian Yi? A panacea model, but young people who need a certain experience and a certain sense of life will choose.
