To say love you is not easy, good passers test drive Volvo XC40 Asia-Pacific

Today’s compact luxury SUV market price of the product by virtue of the brand strength and relatively close to the people, captured the hearts and minds of many people, such as a large space to incredible BMW X1, a large discount to the incredible Audi Q3 and so on, but if BBA too cold for you, then this article you can continue to look down, because this time our protagonist, is a considerable market upstart style, the Asia-Pacific Volvo XC40.

2019, Asia-Pacific Volvo XC40 (hereinafter referred to as the XC40) official domestic as 300,000 yuan price range urban luxury SUV, XC40 and BBA has a completely different tone, it can bring you in, is unique in this class, this unique involved in all aspects. As the top model 2020 models XC40 26.48 Wan -38.58 million price is not really cheap, even the Audi Q3 top with the price of more expensive top with 2.6 million, and our experience in this model, it is this official guide price 38.58 million 2020 models T5 AWD Ya-chi sport.

appearance, XC40 can bring you a luxurious, minimalist beauty, less is more reflected in the XC40 even more extreme, not exaggerated surrounded by tough no discount, no claws trim, XC40 can bring your first impression is that harmony and goodwill. Although the Sport models, but the R-Design package more restrained in the XC40, black grille with the “Quake” headlight, in today’s hyperbole US automotive design community, XC40 regarded as a clear stream.

car design also does not take unusual side, tighten the rear with thick C-pillar, enhancing the sense of power side of the car, the body color is a symbol of the trend, XC40 will naturally not miss, moderate movement rim size 19 inches very harmonious.

XC40 of echoing the front and rear, while the fullness stronger, still mellow style. A head “Quake ‘trailing’ Viking Tomahawk” I do not know since when playing Volvo lamp is also a kind of mold. Overall, the XC40’s exterior design is very successful, both the Volvo brand will present some minimalist luxury style portrait showing off, which in turn set off the proper sense of movement, while it is a friendly and harmonious styling is more likely to be accepted by people, especially female consumer groups.

Lakaichemen, XC40 interior constantly surprises Similarly, different from BBA not take heart that material selection and overall layout, XC40 pulled from the moment the car door will make you like it. A large number of parcels leather material, as well as point-like trim and metal materials applications, with minimalist design ideas, I personally still like. +9 inch full LCD instrument in the control panel, the level of technology that did not fall, multimedia and air conditioning systems which are integrated, ease of daily use can be guaranteed only drawback is the surrounding screen control panel is easy to collect a lot of piano paint fingerprint, usually to pay more to clean up. Three ring-type sports steering wheel grip feel good, small pocket to no longer show the shift lever is more of a personality XC40.

configuration level, as to secure themselves as Volvo, active safety features natural and ultimately, including Lane Keeping Assist system, blind Spot information system, reversing the car sideMiddot ;, anti-collision warning system and many other high-tech security configuration and other auxiliary systems all served in the security level to the XC40 can give out.

in the control the lower region has a huge storage space, which is embedded a wireless charging plate, the inner space very considerable without charging, the packets can girls back down. And front center armrest in the front there is a small storage box with a cover, privacy is very strong, the daily put some small things very convenient.

sport car seats are very docile, support and sense of the parcel are in place , the front room is acceptable, 185cm bouncers will not complain. But rear space is not optimistic, above all, small rear window, brings a certain sense of oppression, while the rear seat cushion is shorter, backrest angle is too straight, it is affecting the ride experience, obviously XC40’s rear the relative performance of competing products, it is quite a disadvantage. Official trunk volume is given as 460L, the middle level in its class, for daily use, but as a top model electric tailgate are also not missed.

Dynamic, , XC40 equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T highA total of three low-power power, test drive of the T5 models have 254 horsepower and 350 cattle middot; 6.4 Miao Pobai surging power meter data, given by the official is enough to prove, the transmission performance is not eye-catching 8AT in comfort mode power downshift more slowly, need to wait about 0.5 seconds to complete the downshift deep pedal, while in sport mode the whole car is very irritable, speed is maintained at above 2500rpm, dynamic call, T5’s used in the XC40 is clearly surplus.

and in chassis, the resolve was pretty bumpy for proper speed bumps, etc., but if the speed is too fast, then bouncing from suspension was a little obvious, crisp enough, in addition to the chassis texture does not give praise than I had ever tested Audi Q3, XC40’s performance compared poorly, there is enhance the sense of space chassis. Noise control XC40 do good, be able to provide a more comfortable driving experience for the car.

Additionally It must give XC40 point like that can currently on the speedometer on XC40 liquid crystal instrument road speed limit marked red alert on the appropriate scale, this is a very humane thing, on other products I have not seen.

Conclusion: In summary, XC40 is a more obvious advantages and disadvantages of both product design level, I really I think XC40 has done very well, luxurious, minimalist aesthetic, fully demonstrated in this car, the interior of the material is also very hard, minimalist interior style is more popular with young people, in my view, have the design level BBA the same level opponents behind them. The same lack XC40 is also more obvious, the second row performance space and comfort are key points clear, although powerful, but handling performance and chassis texture are too mediocre, to open up a little lack of driving pleasure. If you are a female color control, then you are contentXC40 easily impressed, but if you are a sensible man, inadequate point XC40 probably will be found by you. In addition, with 385,800 price really a little “excessive” At this level, if you want to Deus Ex in the market competition, postures and probably inescapable choice.
