Big test drive Volvo HS60. Big Test: Audi Q5, BMW X3, Volvo XC60

Previous Volvo XC60 was made for a very long time, because the car used the unrelentful interest. With the new model of 2017, the company connects great hopes

Already the first impression that Volvo produced during the drive test is great! Thomas Ingelath - Head of the Brand Design Department, has done a good job. Of course, looking at the car, we see a similarity with a large XC90, but the stylists managed something really complicated - they created a car that is very similar to the Volvo family and at the same time has their own character.

We sit down in the car. As a crossover and shall make it very convenient. From the point of view of the space offered in the cabin, the new XC60 has a chance to be a leader. Especially in the back of the place for passengers more than the competitors. Compared to the previous generation, the auto increased by 5 cm and measures the length of 4.69 m. The trunk is good, but the capacity of 505-1432 liters, of course, does not allow to stand out among the rivals, as Audi Q5 and BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC have too large trunk. But from the point of view of its improvement, Volvo leads: the double floor hides the place for the smallest things, and the folding of the rear sofa occurs automatically (when the button is pressed). With the folded position of the back of the seat, a smooth surface is formed - even in luxury SUVs, it is not always there.

Just as in other models of Volvo new family, on dashboard Attention attracts a vertically placed huge touch screen (a diagonal of 22.9 cm). For an additional fee, navigation is offered, which transmits information about road traffic Real-time and digital display between round dials, which displays commands describing the correct path to the target.

Words of appreciation Express Volvo for selection of finishing materials and the quality of assembly of elements in the interior - compared to German competitors, you can not get rid of the impression that the Swedes threw the Audi, BMW and Mercedes glove. However, in order to be clear: we do not say that those cars are bad, just XC60 in this plan even better!

During the test drive Volvo. XC60 2017. model year We could experience a version with a 235-strong diesel engine (D5 AWD). From the point of view of performance, we were not surprised - in 7.2 seconds to "hundreds" - this is at this power good result. In our car there was also an adaptive pneumatic suspension (optional), in which you can select the ride mode using the regulator on the center console - the comfortable is standard. And very good, because it is he who best reflects the nature of the car.

When choosing sports settings, cars are reduced by 2 cm, but steering Does not give the right sense of the road, and the cab rolls are not so small as I would like. Does this mean that the pneumatic suspension is the discharged money on the wind? Not! XC60 is so comfortable on the go, it is thanks to her. Swedes themselves recognize that their goal was not to create sports carAnd first of all - comfortable.

New Volvo XC60 2017 can already be ordered. Initially, the car will be available only with diesel engines D4 AWD, D5, as well as gasoline engines T5 and T6, as well as a hybrid version of T8 Twin Engine. Versions with smaller motors and drive per axis will appear next year. In the standard MOMENTUM standard, you will find: 18-inch wheel disks, LED headlights, high quality audio system, cruise control and silver roof rails and much more.

Volvo xc60 our opinion

Excellent finishing quality, convenient depreciation and very effective cabin noise insulation - the new Volvo XC60 2017 model year effectively separates the driver from the outside world and takes care of its well-being and security.

Russian sales Volvo at the end of 2017 rose a quarter to 7010 cars. Demand contributed to the update of the model range and a weighted pricing policy. Brand bestseller -: 36% of total sales or 2535 copies. Of course, discounts were affected on the eve of the change of generations of the model. But now the more expensive successor rushes into battle, just won the title World car Year - World Car of the Year. Develop success?

The design is new, but recognizable - in this case there is an obvious connection with the V90 Cross Country universal.

I have in my hands - XC60 with D5 E-Drive diesel (235 hp, 480 nm). Mark Volvo One of the few who sells more diesel cars in Russia than gasoline. Explanation of the at least three. The difference in price with a gasoline version is only 10 thousand rubles. If the dynamics of diesel is more economical. And all the questions with the warming of the cabin removes preheater Webasto installed "in the database". In addition, using the Volvo On Call application, you can track the car remotely. It remains only not to evoke in the frost on a summer diesel ...

The build quality is high. Ergonomics will delight people of different complexes. But to use the touch screen in motion (without it, because it replaces the cloud of buttons) you need to get used to it. And at the stops, do not forget to wipe it - it is blocked instantly!

I'll buy a two-liter diesel engine, the car shudders slightly and immediately calms down: the vibrations are not felt as not heard inside and the characteristic rockness. Although on the street the tharachnya is present. The eight-stage "automaton" selector zf (common for all versions of the box) - in Drive and ... In the Comfort mode, the transmission with sharp accelerations will slow down, goes down to a delay. Deciding with the transfer, the crossover is gaining speed confidently.

In the center of the front panel - the Bowers & Wilkins column: in the sum here 19 speakers and they sound cool even in radio mode. The engine is started by turning the sheds of the washer. Under it - no less faceted rolling modes selection.

Riding character is tuned by the relief wheel of the Drive Mode system on the central tunnel. Here, in addition to the "comfortable" three modes. Economical, in which the tachometer is inferior to an econometer, and the gas pedal is stupid, sports, then you mean dynamic with accelerated shifts down, a tightened pneumatic and relaxed stabilization system - and individual, where the settings of different systems can be chosen by speeding. I will not say that there are four at the exit different carsBut the initial character is clearly changing.

In our version, a chair with a rich set of adjustments: Side support, a lumbar side, a pillow roller and, of course, the memory of the positions.

Our car is almost in the top version: a panoramic roof, a challenged pneumatic suspension, r-design body kit, 20-inch wheels ... Total - more than five million rubles. Therefore, it is surprising that the adjustment of the steering wheel is mechanical, but on the doors, even a good, but harsh plastic. However, the interior takes details. Designers - Well done.

Spacious on the second row directly depends on the growth of the front sedimons. For a low driver comfortable. And for the rosh (more than 195 cm), you restrain your knees into the hard back of the chair, and if it is omitted, closed and feet.

The trunk of XC60 - with a large opening and smooth floor. Pneumatic suspension allows 50mm to lower rear part Crossover during loading. The rear sofa is folded in the ratio of 1: 2, there is a ski lung.

The 105 liter XC60 trunk will not disappoint the family man.

At the wheel of the XC60 are mastered quickly: Circular Review Cameras While clean make it easier for parking, the projection of road signs and movement speeds on windshield Helps on the track, and the system of strength control and large indicators of dead zones in the mirrors are insured in the city. By the way, in the form of these most indicators resemble boomerangs.

In Comfort mode, the pneumatic suspension allows you to keep high speed and outside asphalt. LED headlights with "Thor" - "in the database", and with the Light Pack package, they are able to change the intensity of the glow and highlight the turns.

The chassis maintains a dynamic ride: irregularities are felt, and the routing is not. The course is not a furry, I want to add, especially since the stabilization system does not oppose light slides rear axis. The same Mercedes GLC does not allow such pants, the stabilization system is not turned off there. And here - you can and completely deactivate the electronics. This, by the way, will be useful in the mud, if you suddenly fall into the hry.

Several driving modes, crowning ... live new xs60 much more universal carWhat may seem on paper!

The key sensation from the XC60 of the new generation is a Quality. He can compete without stretching with the "Germans", and with the Japanese, and in general with any comparable competitors. In basic equipment - eight airbags, two-zone climate control, a hatch in the roof, a collision prevention system at the low speed City Safety, monitoring of blind zones - and, no matter how scared price list of our specific instance, competitive price. BMW X3: from 2.95 million to heap - outdated (from 2.67 million) and (from 3.51 million). What would your choice be?

New generation Volvo Hs60 waited a long time ago. But the manufacturer decided not to rush, realizing that this model could be decisive in the whole model line manufacturer. The first look at the Volvo XC60 gives the idea that the model is built on all the canons of the sensational crossover XC90. True, the size of the machine is naturally less than that of the XC90, but the same SPA modular platform is based on, which makes it easily changing the dimensions of the model, even in a large one, at least to a smaller side.

Already familiar body lines, features of the optics structure, the corporate grille of the radiator - all this looks very solid. Premium appearance Does not replete with sharp lines that can quickly get out of fashion. Everything is smooth, honed and clearly.

Exterior of the new Volvo HS60 will please any connoisseur vOLVO brand. If you compare the size of the body, it turns out that the length of the new generation of the Swedish crossover increased by 46 mm, and the magnitude of the wheelbase was stretched by 91 mm, which significantly expanded inner space. The body has become a little wider and lower. The total length of the XC60 2017 model year is 4690 mm. Compact crossover you will not call, quite decent dimensions. Photos of new items look further in the photo.

In Swedish Torsland, the assembly starts only closer towards the end of April, in early May. On the European market, orders will begin to take in the summer-autumn. About the Russian price while talking early. But the fact that the car will be quite expensive can be judged by the cost of the current version. Today, the cheapest XC60 of the old generation costs from 2,468,000 rubles! Here is from this amount and it is necessary to repel the reasoning about the price of a novelty.

The Volvo car speaks quite small, as the manufacturer basically produces premium models. At the same time, the company very rarely updates its model ranks, which is certainly waiting with impatience. New Volvo Hs60 2018 (configuration, prices and photos) - what many have been waiting for a big impatience. Updated version The compact crossover turned out to be truly spectacular and interesting. Its value begins with a mark of 2500,000 rubles, but for those who are looking for truly spectacular and unusual car - This offer is quite acceptable.

Exterior

Volvo XC60 2017 model year turned out simultaneously new and while maintained old, all familiar features. To the features of the body and other external elements can be attributed:

• The radiator grille is made in the current form of a rectangle, the lower part of which has 2 additional faces. At the same time, the center is a large symbol of the manufacturer, which is made in an aggressive manner.
• Optics immediately attracts look. It is visually divided into two equal parts, while the division element performs not only the decorative function. Of course, in the manufacture of optics, modern technologies for using diodes were used as the main source of light.
• The bumper is made in the form of continuing the body, the massive air intake has a massive air intake. And here you can highlight the following point: there is a diode strip of running lights, and below, almost at the very bottom of the bumper, fog lights. The diode strip of running lights looks very stylish and modern.

• Side part of nothing remarkable. We only note that the automaker refused to create protection from plastic, which will be strongly allocated against the background of the car body. Protection is, but it merges with the body. Wheel arches are significantly expanded.
• The back looks aggressively. Due to a little sloping roof rear glass It has small sizes. There is also a spoiler with an installed installation lantern. Like in front, the rear paid special attention to the lanterns. One part of the lantern is located on the rack, repeating its complex shape, the second under the glass. The result was quite unusual and interesting effect. There was a place for the wiper. Exhaust pipes Two, they are performed in a rectangular form.

The new Volvo XC60 2017, the configuration and prices are as attractive as its appearance, it turned out very catchy, interesting and not like other cars.

Interior Volvo XC60 2017-2018

About the interior can also be filed exclusively in a positive way. New Volvo Hs60 2017 (photo, price) interior has from high-quality materials. When decorated, a two-tone color scheme was used. In addition, we note:

• The steering wheel is made in an unusual style: a central unit, which is designed to supply the signal, has a square shape with rounded edges. On two spokes there is one three band joystick and two additional keys. The design has heated.
• The instrument shield is presented with a high-quality configurable screen. In this case, information can be displayed both in a classic style by separating the screen into two round indicators and in the other.
• Almost the entire central console is given to a large touch control display. Both sides are air ducts, performed in original style. The software part was recycled: all items are displayed so that they are well read and did not have problems with their choice.

• The next interesting element is the control unit of the main functions of multimedia. It is designed so that the impressions of the buttons in the leather panel itself are created, very unusual and original.
• The space between the seats, as a rule, paid special attention, as the driver's hands are most often found in this area. A row spaced lever management modes automatic box, joystick multimedia system, as well as an electric button parking brake. In addition, the place was found for a small glove box, which is closed by a piece of high-quality tree.
• The car has a high-quality audio system. In this case, some speakers are set specifically to create surround sound. In combination with a high-quality multimedia system, the sound in the cabin is very saturated.
• The rear row is represented by seats that also have side support. If necessary, you can make two separate seats from a 3-seater sofa. At the same time, the armrest has a built-in cupboard, which is quite convenient.

Only high quality finishes, smooth seams, modern equipment. The car looks not only outside, but also inside is very attractive. It remains to consider Volvo Hs60 2017 ( new Body, configuration and prices), photos talk about rich equipment and in the elementary configuration, in order to find out how much this crossover will cost.

Package and prices Volvo Xc60 2017-2018

Volvo XC60 in the new body, photos are also discussed in this article, has the following configuration:

1. Momentum - the cheapest equipment that will cost 2490000 rubles. The starting set of options is quite impressive, but expect parking sensors and others modern systems Do not.
2. Summum. - At the price occupies an average position of 2578,000 rubles. An additional set of options includes heating, rain and light sensors, many other features.
3. R-Design - the most expensive offer For 2678000 rubles. In the maximum set there is almost everything you need while driving and just a pastime in the car.

And now about substantial minuses. The crossover has only front-wheel drive, The engine is only diesel with a capacity of 150 horses, an automatic box. In other words, one engine and transmission are installed on all cars. May in the future will appear other power units, but while the crossover will be shipped in this equipment.

Major competitors

Given the size of the body and the equipment can be said that this crossover is not so many competitors. Volvo XC60 2017 ( new model, photo), whose price is not more than 2700,000 rubles for all valid options, you can compare S.:

1. Cadillac XT5.

The latter is a full-sized crossover and can be purchased for the same money that they want for Volvo.

Let's sum up

At first glance, the car is very attractive and practically no competitors. Test Drive Video Volvo Xc60 2017-2018Cows on good model handling even with bad weather conditions, which is associated with a significant increase in body rigidity through the use of high-quality steel. But having understood in detail with this proposal one could allocate a fairly large number of flaws, but first about the pros:

• A new, interesting, unusual exterior, who immediately captures the attention of all the people around the car.
• Worked, high-quality salon on enough high level Comfort.
• Modern technical equipment From: from controls, to control systems on the situation on the roads.

And now about the minuses that affected the main technical part car:

• The engine in the lineup is only one, diesel, power is quite acceptable, but does not correspond to the one that should be on the road.
• The automatic box is also only one, there were no mechanics and there will be no robots and variators - it is not yet known.
• Drive only front, so the car can not be called a full crossover. Also due to the transmission of rotation only on the front axis, the car is significantly worsening on the road with a bad coating.
• Only three configurations that are not significantly different in price of each other.
• Possible problems with the service and search for the necessary spare parts, supplies In the future, since the brand can not be called popular in Russia.

Therefore, the XC60 can be called a controversial option for purchase: on the one hand, the original, high-quality and beautiful, on the other hand it is impossible to choose the model "for yourself". Therefore, you should carefully consider the offers of other automakers.

IN last years Volvo works on the DRIVE ME project - a car, which in the future will be able to move without a driver. Serial XC60 is capable not only to repeat it, but also to protect against the counter collision

"This is a chance to feel the car like never well," - discussing the future to drive the car barefoot, the colleague showed wonders of excerpts. Just in the hotel he has stolen boots.

I do not know how about legs, but with your hands in the new Volvo XC60 you can experiment. Almost three years ago, we traveled to Gothenburg and looked at how Volvo works on the DRIVE ME project - cars, which in the future will be able to move, without the participation of the driver. One of the elements of the program was a trip with the driver of Volvo, which on the highway released his hands from the steering wheel, and the car herself twisted in the turns, kept the strip and missed the tunable cars.

Before the full autonomous car is still far away, the legal aspects are still not settled, but the serial XC60 can be brushed, keep the strip and so on. However, to the position of the hands on the steering wheel, the Swedes belong to Scandinavian sternly. Let him go at all - a warning will be displayed that it is necessary to keep the "Branca", you will not listen - the system will turn off, and the magic will disappear.

In what new crossover The first is in the ability to prevent a counter-collision at a speed of 60 to 140 km / h, subject to the visible markup. It works as follows: if the machine is shifted to the adjacent band, the computer fixes the counter vehicleAnd the driver does not take anything to eliminate the danger, the system gives a sound signal and herself begins to twist. XC60 is slowly returning to its lane.

But if you start to oppose her, turn the steering wheel itself, trying to stay on the counter, the system interrupts infants. Other absolutely new system - Help at the congress beyond the road - functions like: The machine begins to automatically handle and brake, holding the car on the road.

Despite the fact that in all this XC60 first among Volvo, Russian buyers new systems will be seen only on the XC90 in a year. Sixties will appear in Russia in early 2018 (yes - yes, there are no prices yet), although representatives of the Russian office of the company promised to make every effort so that the car came as early as possible.

It is now VOLVO with model near All is well, but nine years ago, when the hs60 came to the stage for the first time, there were few things later. Looking very modern XC60 first generation as a result of truly shot: from the moment of the production of the model, about a million copies were already released (the previous generation is removed from the conveyor in August), it became the most-selling Volvo in the world, and in the last two years - the most sold among All premium crossovers in Europe.

Therefore, it is obvious that a novelty for the company is exciting and important. It is also obvious that it will not compare it with all subconsciously not with the previous generation, but with the new XC90 scandinavine style icon. The fate of these models is generally intertwined much more closely than it is usually for brethren as part of one brand.

XC60 Walkan on the same patterns: if before designing the design between cars, the abyss ran, and compact crossover It was possible to unmistakably determine in the stream of unusual lines of the body, now to distinguish the younger model from the older is quite difficult.

Both crossovers are built on the SPA platform (as well as S90 sedan) - this is a modular scalable architecture, which was developed four years ago with an eye on the integration of electrification technologies. It will also build all future Volvo models.

If in the XC90 company presented a new level of comfort and driving control, then in the XC60 - a more dynamic sense of driving, the Swedes are recognized. At the same time, Volvo counted that customers were tired of too hard chassis settings and want comfort.

In order for the suspension to comply with these requests, but at the same time allowed the car to actively maneuver, and no postage in each turn, hundreds of different options were tested in Volvo, from which the best and sent to track tests were tested.

As a result, it turned out really very comfortable car. Let the Catalan roads are far from the worst in the world, but also irregularities and potholes that the car does not notice. My colleague and I came up with a route to a small olive grove, the road in which was similar to the washing board. This test suspension also experienced easily without delivering inconvenience. Even in this section of the path in the cabin did not appear annoying outsiders.

At the same time, in the softness of the XC60 can not be supplied. Two versions of XC60: T6 with 320-strong gasoline and D5 with a 235-strong gasoline were presented in Barcelona diesel engine. Both - on pneumatic suspension (This is an option, in stock - double transverse levers in front and beam with transverse spring rear) with active shock absorbers.

Modifications will be offered, of course, more, and all of them, except for the top (hybrid T8 with a capacity of 407 hp) will come to Russia. Volvo remains true to the course taken in 2012, when the company declared that focuses on four-cylinder motors. All of them are installed transversely, and the moment on rear wheels Transmitted using a multi-discharge borgwarner of the fifth generation.

Both options on which I managed to ride, despite the difference in the capacity of almost 100 hp, are similar to each other. No wonder the Swedes paid attention to that their drives of the Drive-E family of characteristics and traction are quite comparable to the "six". Acceleration confident, clear and smooth from the lowest - "turbocharging" enough for all occasions.

In the diesel version of the high return, it was possible to achieve using the PowerPulse function - due to air supply to the exhaust gas system at the stage to the turbocharger, and the turbocharger activated from the start of the movement.

The crossover side is very similar to XC90, but has a more squat silhouette.

The crossover is confidently rides in a straight line, well holds the road, predictably controlled, does not swing with sharp maneuvers and turns, but the difference between driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Dynamic, Individual), in which the suspension settings, electric power and power aggregate, practically not noticeable. It seems the basic option is great for any type of ride.

Another reminder of the XC90 - screen on the central panel is the most noticeable element of a light, neat and very cozy interior of the novelty. Its size fully corresponds to the positioning of the car: still big and beautiful, but less (nine inches) than on the older model. He is still grades, but in the glove compartment there is a special tissue that you can wipe the display. By the way, if you hold the key at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds, the special service mode will turn on for these purposes.

The screen on the central panel in the XC60 is slightly smaller than in XC90.

The multimedia system is sewn all the functions that XC90. For those familiar with the senior SUV, will not be a problem and algorithm for managing all applications. The set here is standard for a premium car: navigation, the ability to integrate the smartphone and so on. The Bower & Wilkins audio system is worthy of separate praise. In addition, the Connected Service Booking application is installed in the system, which will recall about the soon, and will suggest a convenient time recording time itself.

The new XC60 fully fits into the vector of development of the Scandinavian company owned by chinese Geely.which finances all the modern VOLVO developments. Even compared with the current XC90, the novelty took a step forward to the goal - by 2020 passengers in Volvo cars should not die and receive serious injuries.
