[car home Experience] If you know anything about cars, when you hear the brand Volvo, what words will flash in your mind for the first time? Safe? Northern Europe? Keep a low profile? Taste? No matter what word crosses your eyes, I believe it will not be a description of sports, fashion and fashion. Yes, Volvo has always been a brand famous for its commitment to automobile safety technology. It comes from Sweden in northern Europe, but now it belongs to Ford, and its impression has always been low-key, unobtrusive and not so eye-catching. However, today’s red Volvo S40 may break your old impression.

　　Note: The model we experienced this time is Volvo S40 2.4i Zia version, which may be different from other models in terms of color, parameters and configuration.

---

● Appearance-at first glance, it is better to look carefully.

　　S40 is a compact model, which comes from Ford C1 platform. As many people know, the products of this platform include Focus and Mazda 3. The other two models are well-known for their manipulation and sports, and they are all the rage among young people. What about S40?

　　At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a red S40. This is not because I am a woman, so I like red, but because although almost all models will have red without exception, not all cars can look good in red. And I like the red color of this Volvo S40 very much, maybe it just fits my age and aesthetics.

　　At first glance, the front of S40 is straight and restrained, with simple lines, not very streamlined and round, and not very tough and masculine. The chrome-plated upper intake is not as exaggerated as the popular "big mouth", and the logo of "VOLVO" stands calmly in the middle, as if it is lacking. But just like the "second-eye beauty", after a few more eyes, you can find S40’s character from various details.

　

　　Two headlights with black edges are as bright and angry as the eyes of a "gourd doll", and the flat and ultra-wide lower air intake is slightly fierce. The most characteristic angle is from the front side. The headlights with black edges, the wide and flat lower grille with black, and the powerful engine compartment line are quoted to Fang Ping’s front face, which has a fierce lion’s head effect.

　　The joints between the hood and headlights are even and detailed, and there are no obvious defects. The welding spots on the side of the door are symmetrically distributed, and the treatment effect is also fine.

　　From the side, it can be found that the engine cabin line passes through the A-pillar all the way to the rear, which outlines a high waistline and dynamic shape, and directly intersects with the arc of the roof at the rear of the car, making the ending a little more movement and dexterity besides being angular and heavy.

　　S40’s tail line is straight, and the two stepped taillights create a sense of integrity with angular edges, which is also surrounded by a circle of black borders. Because there are no tiny lines and no excessive intersections and overlaps, the whole tail shape is quite simple, and the broad protrusions make the layers distinct. If the plump and rounded hip design of the car please men, perhaps the style like S40 can win the love of female consumers.

　　Generally speaking, the appearance of Volvo S40 left me with a unique impression. It is angular but not too straightforward, with personality but not very ostentatious, passionate but restrained, impulsive but secretly hidden.

● Interior-pure black interior+suspended center console

　　This red S40 2.4i Zia version is matched with a pure black interior, instead of gray or beige, which is always used in household models. The visual effect brought by the black interior is first of all a cool and sporty feeling, which is easy to arouse people’s desire to drive and control, unlike the light gray or beige interior, which will make people relax and bring a soothing and fresh feeling. From this perspective, S40 still takes more care of the individual needs of young consumers.

　　The steering wheel wrapped in leather is moderate in size, and the fineness and friction of leather are also very close. The multi-function keys on the left side of the steering wheel are used to operate cruise control, while the right side controls entertainment information, such as radio and CD.

　　The style of the dashboard is Volvo’s simple style, which looks only clear and easy to identify during the day, but the effect of luminous is still quite beautiful.

　　S40 has a well-known bright spot, that is, its floating center console. In recent years, with the popularity of various digital products such as thin and light mobile phones, I believe that this beautiful and lightweight center console made of matt metal panels can bring many young people a sense of satisfaction with fashion and scientific and technological effects.

　　There are four large knobs on the center console, which are used to control the audio and air conditioning, and the buttons are relatively small. From the perspective of the fineness of workmanship, we can’t help but draw a conclusion that we get what we pay for. Although the models developed on the same platform, it is obvious that Volvo S40’s internal material selection and workmanship level are far better than those of Fox and Mazda 3.

　　The keyhole is designed at the lower left of the air-conditioning outlet above the center console. The multi-function display screen has a relatively small area and displays conventional information such as air conditioning, sound and time. What is unsatisfactory is that the information display is actually in English. However, the adjustment of air-conditioning blowing mode is to separate a portrait to indicate that the style is more intuitive and novel.

　　The exterior rearview mirror can be adjusted electrically. If you want to fold it away, you need to press the L and R keys at the same time. The shape of the handbrake is also unique, and it also has a floating effect.

　　The cosmetic mirror on the sun visor is believed to be very popular with ladies. Both sides of the mirror are equipped with lighting, which makes the light sufficient and uniform, and the area of the mirror is also large, which is not as big as a matchbox on some models, and its practicality is still relatively high.

● Space-not bad for a compact car.

　　The body size of Volvo S40 is 4476×1770×1454mm, which is smaller in length, width and height than sedan Focus’s 4480×1840×1500mm, but the wheelbase of 2640mm is the same as that of Focus and Mazda 3. In the actual experience, we also feel that its internal space is still good.

　　Although S40 takes simplicity as its concept, there is no shortage of humanized design in the interior space, which is quite considerate. In addition to the conventional glove box, the storage compartment inside the car and the storage bag at the back of the front seat, there are elastic small storage bags at the front edges of the front and rear seats. Although the volume of the glove box is not very large, it is equipped with anti-skid pads to prevent the goods in the box from rolling and causing damage when the vehicle is driving.

　　In order not to waste space, a shallow storage compartment is set behind the suspended center console, but only some flat items can be placed, otherwise it will shake when driving. The biggest disadvantage is that the storage compartment inside the door is small and there is no special glasses case.

　　Although the S40 looks like a four-door hatchback, in fact, its short tail is not integrated, the trunk is still opened separately, and the floor in the trunk is flat and the area is not small.

　　It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the electric adjustment function mentioned above, the front passenger’s seat can also be tilted forward, and with the rear seat that can be tilted 4 minutes on the right side, it can create an access road for carrying extra-long strip items, which is unique and valuable in design. Unfortunately, after our efforts, because the front headrest can’t be adjusted, the front passenger seat is adjusted to the rearmost position, and the headrest will still be stuck in the glove box after the chair back is put down, and it can’t be completely flat.

　　In terms of driving space, we found a male editor with a height of 178CM and a weight of 75KG to demonstrate, and found that the front head space of S40 is quite abundant, and the performance of the rear leg space is OK, but the head space in the rear row is slightly cramped. If it is a tall man with a height of more than 180CM, it may feel a little oppressive. After all, it is only a compact car, and objectively speaking, the space performance is normal, reasonable and better.

● Seat-lumbar adjustment is influenced by the height of the seat, which is more suitable for women.

　　The driver’s seat and the driver’s seat are all electric 8-way adjustment and manual lumbar support adjustment. The driver’s seat has three sets of memory functions. As mentioned earlier, the driving space of S40 is not bad, but it must be mentioned that the length of the seat cushion is sacrificed to a certain extent. After our actual measurement, the depth of the front and rear cushions is 480mm, which is shorter than that of the front seats of general compact cars. Although the shape of the seat is very good, it is very suitable for women to ride, but if it is changed to men, the front edge of the seat cushion is designed as a sofa-like edge, which will just be supported in the middle of the thigh, and it feels very uncomfortable.

　　The adjustment knobs of manual lumbar support are located on both sides of the seat. If the driver or passenger is male, the seat will not be adjusted too high, and this knob will be sandwiched between the seat and the central armrest, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. However, if the driver or passenger is female, the seat will be adjusted to ensure sufficient sight. At this time, the adjustment of the lumbar support is relatively convenient, and the operation of turning around and twisting the arm is also more difficult for the fatter person.

　　S40’s leather seat leather is good, which makes people feel comfortable. I believe Volvo, which has always advocated car safety, has also spent a lot of thought on the seat design. The front headrest is fixed and cannot be adjusted, but the height and angle are ideal, which can suit the riding posture of most people. The height of the rear headrest can be adjusted vertically, and it can also be pulled out and removed.

● other

　　The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine is in-line with 5 cylinders, and it is matched with a five-speed manual/automatic geartronic gearbox, which has an adaptive speed change mode, can automatically adapt to the driver’s driving style, and has a good stable output.

　　The maximum power of 2.4i engine appears at 6000rpm, and it can also provide up to 170 horsepower. At 4400 rpm, the output torque reaches 230Nm. Such data will not be too laborious to push a body like S40.

　　When the engine compartment cover of S40 is opened, it is found that besides the normal sound insulation cotton, there is also an air duct leading from the air inlet to the battery. It seems that it should be used to cool the battery, but we don’t understand why it is designed like this for the time being. Later, we will contact Volvo to consult about the purpose of this design and give you a definite answer.

　　There are as many as 8 airbags in the whole vehicle, which can automatically control the inflation ratio and explosion speed according to the impact force, thus avoiding the secondary injury caused by airbags. WHIPS head and neck safety protection system can automatically lift the headrest when a high-speed rear-end collision occurs, and disperse the huge impact force generated during the collision to reduce the damage to the head, neck and spine of the occupants.

　　In addition, in order to reserve enough impact buffer zone, VOLVO not only greatly reduced the load of the self-designed miniaturized transverse engine, but also adopted a more compact engine compartment layout, and even the collapse route of the battery was arranged in advance during the collision, so it can minimize the damage to the occupants in the car during the collision.

　　Conclusion:In fact, the price of Volvo S40 far exceeds that of ordinary compact cars, which makes it not a family car that most ordinary families can afford. However, through this static experience, we can see that Volvo not only insists on the safety concept advocated, but also makes some adjustments in vehicle design. At least S40 can make people feel its fashion and modernity from the outside to the inside. From the aspects of exterior and interior, technical content, safety performance and configuration, S40 is suitable for those friends who have unique tastes and do not blindly pursue large size and large space and earn a good income.

　　After watching the static experience of Volvo S40, you must want to know more about its handling performance in actual driving. Don’t argue, the evaluation article of S40 will be presented by the evaluation team of car home this Thursday. Be sure to watch it on time!

Easy car original: With a budget of about 150,000 yuan, I plan to buy a pure electric vehicle with a pure electric cruising range of 600km. Is there a good choice? If you only look at the book data, BYD is a good choice in this price range.166,800 yuan can have a 600km high cruising range version., the cost performance is quite high.

The appearance of Qin PLUS EV is quite small "Han", andEquipped with a more secure blade battery., the configuration is not low, compared with the previous Qin EV models, it can be said thatReduce the price and increase the allocationYes.

Although the cost performance is very high, what is the driving texture of Qin PLUS EV? Can the real cruising range reach 600km? With these questions, let’s have a test together.

New car highlights first look:

1. It is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135kW.measure with instruments0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.1s, and 100-0km/h braking distance is 38.2m..;

2. Power and chassis adjustment is mainly based on home comfort.Smooth and quiet brings more comfortable driving experience.;

3, fast charging speed to force, the actual measurement of Qin PLUS EV under comprehensive working conditionsReal pure electric cruising range can exceed 500km.;

4. Follow the family-style design style of BYD Longyan.Looks like a trumpet "".

The model we tested this time is the 2021 Qin PLUS EV 600km flagship model, which is the top model with a price of 166,800 yuan.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on top modelThe maximum power is 135kW and the maximum torque is 280 n m.The officially declared 0-50km/h acceleration time is 4 seconds.

The maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motors equipped on the other three middle and low models are 100kW, 180N·m, and the 0-50km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.

So what is its actual acceleration performance? First of all, let’s test its acceleration time of 0-100km/h and braking distance of 100-0 km/h.

Before the test, turn off the air conditioner, turn off the ESP body stability system and adjust the driving mode to SPORT mode. Finally measuredThe fastest acceleration time of Qin PLUS EV is 9.1 seconds., the bestThe braking performance is 38.2 meters..

As can be seen from the acceleration curve, during the acceleration process of Qin PLUS EV from 0 to 50 km/h, the response speed of the motor is faster, and the maximum acceleration can be reached soon after stepping on the switch. The final acceleration time of 0 to 50 km/h is 3.6 seconds, which is faster than the official data of 4 seconds.

After the maximum acceleration is maintained at 50km/h, it begins to decline, and the acceleration capacity of 50-100km/h in the second half also gradually decreases. However, during the whole rapid acceleration process, the power output is quite linear, and finally the speed exceeds 100km/h in 9.1 seconds.

Qin PLUS EV’s braking front section is sensitive, and the whole braking process is quite linear and stable, which can give us enough confidence. After many tests, the best braking distance is 38.2 meters, which can basically be controlled within 39 meters, and the performance is quite good.

Next, let’s talk about the driving experience of Qin PLUS EV. As a new energy family car, the overall adjustment of Qin PLUS EV is not surprising.Give priority to comfort.

Although the appearance is similar to BYD’s flagship model Han, the actual test drive is two completely different styles. Qin PLUS EV will not give us a passionate acceleration experience like Han.Smooth and comfortableIs the direction it is striving for.

Although the motor power of Qin PLUS EV with a maximum power of 135kW is not particularly abundant, it is more than enough to meet the needs of daily use.

At the beginning, the dynamic response of Qin PLUS EV will not be particularly positive. Especially in ECO mode, the initial response of the switch will be "lazy", and the acceleration process will be gentle, which will bring about the speed increase in no hurry.A relatively comfortable and stable driving experience is also valued by consumers who pay attention to family cars, and it can also save some energy.

Of course, if you want to "go wild", you can switch to SPORT driving mode. In this mode, the switch of Qin PLUS EV will become more sensitive and the speed will climb much faster. Especially in the high-speed road conditions where overtaking is needed,Qin PLUS EV in SPORT mode will give us more confidence..

In SPORT mode, the acceleration ability is indeed improved, but the comfort and ride comfort are greatly reduced. When accelerating rapidly, it will bring a certain sense of dizziness to drivers and passengers. It is not recommended to use this driving mode for a long time.It is enough to recommend using ECO/NORMAL mode for daily driving, which can bring more comfortable driving experience.

Qin PLUS EV’s kinetic energy recovery system is divided intoStandard feedbackandGreater feedbackTwo levels, the power recovery under the standard feedback is moderate, and the vehicle can slowly brake linearly and smoothly after releasing the switch.

In the larger feedback mode, there will be more energy recovery, but the disadvantage is that there will be some drag and drop, and the comfort will be reduced.

In terms of steering strength, Qin PLUS EV followsSteering style of family car with low speed, light weight and high speed.It is relatively flexible and light to drive. However, the steering virtual position still exists, so you need to be extra careful when the speed is fast and cornering, and try to slow down as much as possible.

Qin PLUS EV’s chassis suspension is also a comfortable adjustment style.Tougher suspension can well filter out the small bumps on the road.. However, in the face of speed bumps or potholes, you can still obviously feel the body jumping up and down, which still needs improvement.

In terms of NVH, Qin PLUS EV has no influence of engine noise, and the quietness of the whole vehicle is quite excellent when driving at low speed. However, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, tire noise and wind noise are more obvious, but the whole is still within the acceptable range.

In order to understand the noise situation of Qin PLUS EV more intuitively, we also tested its noise level in the car of 40-120 km/h.

The test results show that the noise decibel value of Qin PLUS EV in each speed segment is well controlled. The noise in the 40km/h car is 55.4 decibels, and the noise at the high speed of 120km/h is 66.2 decibels.

Here, for example, the noise value of the computer mainframe is generally about 55 decibels, while the voice of two people chatting and talking at a distance of one meter face to face is generally about 60 decibels. It can be seen that the noise decibel value data of Qin PLUS EV is still good.

After the overall test drive experience, power and acceleration are obviously not the strengths of Qin PLUS EV, and the word sports is basically irrelevant to it, giving us more.A smooth and comfortable driving experience.Is the direction it is striving for.

After talking about the driving experience, let’s test the actual cruising range of Qin PLUS EV, and test it in the daily commuting environment to see if its real pure electric cruising range can satisfy us.

Before starting the test, we need to fully charge Qin PLUS EV. The 600km version is equipped with a capacity of71.7kWh blade battery, the official declared fast charge.It only takes 30 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%..

Before charging, Qin PLUS EV has 36% remaining power, and the dashboard shows that it takes 52 minutes to fully charge.It took 68 minutes to fully charge., charging power up to 60kW. If you start charging from 0%, you can fill it in less than two hours, and the charging efficiency is still relatively high.

In this endurance test, we mainly focus on the urban traffic congestion near Pearl River New Town, Xinguang Expressway and Nansha Port Expressway, and the ratio of urban traffic, expressway and expressway is basically 1:1:1.

When the Qin PLUS EV is fully charged, it is already 19 o’clock in the evening, which is at the peak of work in Guangzhou.At full charge, the remaining cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 600km..

Before starting the test, I reset the dashboard mileage 1 and energy consumption curve chart to zero. The air conditioning temperature is set at 24℃, and the air volume is in second gear.

Choose NORMAL driving mode, choose larger feedback mode with strong energy feedback, and then start the test. However, I was the only one in the car during the test, and I was basically in no-load condition.

Depart from Tianhe Stadium, go to and from Xinguang Expressway, pass through Guangzhou Grand Theatre and Central Lake Park of University Town, and finally reach Nansha.
