Over the years, the Volvo brand perceived as a sign of high quality. However, over the past few years, new generations were not produced under this brand. In 2017-2018, an updated Volvoxc60 appeared, which will cost 2460,000 rubles. This information determines the fact that the new generation will cost more than the previously previous one. This is due to the fact that this car has become more technical, high-quality, as well as beautiful. Is it worth a crossover of his money, or it is better to pay attention to the proposal of more famous brands - consider new Volvo HS60 2017 (configuration and prices) more.
Exterior
In modern style, the exterior of a new generation of crossover was created. The features of the body of the new car can be called the following points.:
- The design style has changed significantly, but in general remained unchanged. Almost immediately, you can learn Volvo on optics and radiator grille.
- For some time, the automaker carried out the installation of dual optics, but now returned to rectangular optics. "Fishka" can be called the fact that the optics are divided into two equal parts by the LED element. Below are fog and running lights. Radiator protection standard.
- The rear of the car has two massive pipes exhaust systemBut the designers paid more attention to the optics: it goes on the rack, goes to the trunk door and is located under a slightly convex glass. In general, the design is very interesting, the car is noticeable from a long distance.
A large diameter discs are installed on the crossover, the arches are expanded.
Interior
New Volvo HS60 2017, photo, the price of it immediately attracts attention, it has a fairly attractive and high-quality interior:
- The central element was the large display of the multimedia system, which is used to control the main functions. The system is optimized for working with mobile devices.
- The instrument panel is made in the form of a display that has high quality. In this case, you can configure how information will be displayed.
- A few speakers are installed in the car's cabin of different typeswhich are part of a high-quality audio system. Some are hidden, others are highlighted in a beautiful style.
- Between the front seats made a large panel on which there is a switching lever. In addition, there are several control units important functions.
- For the rear row, an attractive and functional panel is also created.
The quality of the finish is the highest. At the same time, all the most modern technologies.
Package and prices Volvo XC60 2017 in the new body
The new Volvo XC60 2017 is positioned as a car with an increased active and passive security Due to the installation of modern electrical modifications. The production of a new generation is carried out on the SPA modular trolley, which has become the basis for flagship models of a more expensive offer.

Volvo XC60 ( new model) The premiere of 2017 was perceived differently. The above information indicates that the car even in elementary configuration has a good equipping, in the maximum will be able to compete with many representatives of the business class.
Specifications
On the car under consideration is set exclusively 8-speed automatic box Gear, which is ideal for a comfortable ride. In a pair, the following motors can be installed with this transmissision.:
- The cheapest offer is equipped with an economical Turbodiesel with a working volume of 2 liters. Developed power in 150 horses can be quite enough for a comfortable crossover control in the city and on the highway.
- Slightly best characteristics It has a diesel engine equipped with a turbine having a volume of 2.4 liters. By increasing the capacity by 40 hp Consumption increased insignificantly, but the speaker has improved.
- Gambling lovers can pay attention to the gasoline power unit 2.0 and with a capacity of 245 hp This power unit has good characteristicsThe design is reliable and manifests itself well, both in the urban trait and on the track.
- The most powerful motor has a volume of 3 liters and power return 306 hp In this case, you can count on the fact that the car will accelerate to 100 km / h in 6.9 seconds. However, it is worth considering that the flow rate in a mixed cycle is 10.7 liters.
Completed Volvo XC60 2017 (new model), the photo, the price of which is in this article, modern engine And a fairly effective box.
Major competitors
In the class of crossovers, you can find quite a lot of various offers from the European and Asian car industry:
- BMW X3.
- BMW X4.
- Mercedes GLC.
- Jaguar F-Pace.
- Infiniti QX50.
All these cars are approximately one price category, come in different configurations.
Let's sum up
Cars produced under the Volvo brand are found in domestic roads quite rarely. This is due to the fact that the automaker does not have large production facilities. There are also certain difficulties related to maintenance. The advantages of Volvo XC60 include the following points:
- The car has high-quality equipment and assembly - it has always been famous for the Volvo brand.
- When creating a model, the most modern technologies responsible for safety and comfort were used.
- Enough big choice Among engines allows you to choose a car in your requests.
- An attractive and unusual exterior, as well as the interior make a car noticeable on the road.
- In the starting configuration there are all the necessary options.
However, there are disadvantages, among which you can mark only one machine to choose from. In addition, the crossover has a high cost, roads in service. Also, the reliability of the car is questionable.
Photo xs60 2017 (new model)
In recent years, Volvo has been working on a 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.
To full-fledged autonomous car Still far, legal aspects are still not settled, but the serial XC60 can grup, 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.
What is the first crossover one, so it is in the ability to prevent a counter-collision at a speed of 60 to 140 km / h under the condition of 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. Another absolutely new system is help at the congress beyond the road - functions in a similar way: the car starts automatically to grup and slow down, 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 introduced new level Comfort and control of the wheel, 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 a 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 diesel version High returns managed to achieve using the PowerPulse function - due to the supply of air into the exhaust gas system at the stage to the turbocharger, and the turbocharger is 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 light, neat and very cozy salon New. 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.
In my opinion, this is exactly what is called "brand's reputation." See: A couple of years ago, the new Volvo XC90 changed its predecessor, who has been more than ten years. But he was still selling well, having the glory of one of the most reliable and safe cars. Of course, there were no restylants outdated design and modest equipment, and the "ninetie" gradually passed the position. However, the new, beautiful and technological XC90 quickly played them back - they say, in Europe he is close to BMW X5 and others.
With Volvo XC60 Exactly the same story. The Swedish car now has now lived a long conveyor life, and in recent years there was no little, the best-selling premium crossover in its class! But still it has come time and he can change the platform and image.
And now I am with the key from the new XC60 standing in the parking lot of the Volvo dealer. And around ... Ba, familiar all persons! More precisely, they are all on one corporate person here - as guardsmen in the protection of the Swedish king. The same shape of the mirror and the lattice of radiators, the "torus's hammers" in the LED headlights ... For me, now the main thing is not to be patted, and do not stick the handle of some XC90. Characteristic details for which you can identify a "sixtiest" I have not yet memorized, the overall architecture of the body in cars O-Dinakovaya, and simply in size, my eyes learns the XC60 with difficulty.
But if you look at both cars at once, then obviously - the "younger brother" looks more energetic. The sidewalls are expressive, the silhouette of a squat, the hood is longer. The latter, by the way, is unlikely - because under it the same power units as the "ninetieth". The pro-STO seems so because of the more compact body - under the XC60 SPA platform has rooted at once on 26 cm at once, at the same time "amputating" the ability to order the third row of seats. Although, for example, the 7-seater Kodiaq is just a centimeter longer than "six-sstroy".
The same story inside the car: "Girl, we met somewhere!" At the first moment, the interior of the XC60 seems just a copy of the salon Volvo XC90, with whom I lived two months in the TG garage (№№136, 137). So much that, without trusting your memory, I climbed to flip the binder. No, in reality, they, of course, are different - and XC60 with a decorative insertion on the front panel "from the ear to ear" elegant, apparently, also due to smaller sizes. And the effect of copying creation creates the details - exactly the same as on all the new Volvo of the whole "ninety" series: steering wheel, machine lever, dashboard, climate control, door handles. And, of course, the 9-inch screen in the center of the panel. With the same interface for which I wandered a year ago ...
Helping electronics driver here is even greater than in XC90
Unification is great! Because now I already know where and what settings you need to correct so that the XC60 will quickly make friends. From "Big Brother", with the SPA platform, he received not only the same engines (double-liter turbo engine and diesel in four power options), transmission (8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive on all versions) and suspensions with pneumatic bullons (option as And in XC90). Helping the driver of electronics here seems to be even more - its icons do not fit into one screen "driver" tablet page! And there is also a car settings section, including the personal settings of the Individual mode. There is also a lot of interest. You can, for example, change the response of the brakes - this does not yet offer anyone except Volvo. True, the difference is small, and the pedal is informative for any configuration. The car monitors the speed, markup, signs, interference during rebuilding and parking, distance and pedestrians ... With one touch of a button on the steering wheel, you can turn on autopilot, which will hold on the leader on the highway and in traffic jams.
And here it takes Rubicon, dividing two Volvo crossover. In XC90, all this electronics in its place. Large family car, with a high body and accurate, but not a gambling chassis - all for comfort and safety. After a week, driven by the "ninety" will turn into a volvo driver in a good sense of the word. Which electronics adds calm: she has everything under control.
The XC60 is also not a compact, but perceived easier, movable, energetic. It is easier for two hundred kilograms, it has a more rigid body, other chassis settings - and the hand is already stretched to turn off all or almost all the driver's electronics. Because I want to steer here, despite the heavy conditions of the test - darkness, frost, snowfall and ice. "Thanks to" which you also look at the photo from a completely different country and season.
Enable Dynamic once and forever pinches and chassis
But the crossover is the same - the blue XC60 D5 in the R-Design version. D5 is a two-liter diesel engine, in the most powerful, 235-strong Va Riant with a special receivers on the inlet. It will "fall asleep" a turbo pit on low revs, blowing in cylinders an additional air portion. The fact that under the hood engine on the diesel fuel, only light vibrations are spoken at idle. The motor is always lucky, with any position of the tachometer arrow drawn on the virtual shield. In "comfortable" mode calmly and size. But it is worth switching to Dynamic ... It seems that the engine has turned on the fifth cylinder - so rapidly and quickly react to the motor pedal and the box. Just XC60 stepwise drifted in the stream of cars, and now he is ready to tear everyone to the Swedish flag!
Audi Q5.
German ordung against Scandinavian design.
The rest holds parity
Enable Dynamic once and forever pinches the chassis. Volvo is well holding straight, he does not chat on the rods, but I give him a light command of the steering wheel - and the crossover willingly get up arc. Brancle effort is a bit "digital", but it does not interfere even in fast turns. Car reactions are always linear and single-digit. And where the turn is cooler, under the wheels instead of the pure asphalt, the hell that the driver wants a little to cut down (and I even wish it very much!), XC60 smoothly goes into a skid as under the dump of gas and with increasing thrust that Your BMW! Nothing terrible, sliding is easily betraying with a steering wheel, but you shall be satisfied - the ESP does not fit together.
The XC60 is still a family car, at least to a lesser extent than XC90. The trunk is big (sorry the seats do not move), there will be enough space in the back row, and adults. Over your head - view of the sky through a panoramic roof, under the seats there are original niches, where you can hide the tablet or laptop in the parking lot. If you do not shove in the configurator, there will be a 4-zone climate-contiguity, and a socket for 220V.
The chassis on the standards of a family car may seem harsh, although it copes perfectly with the pits, and with the waves - it doesn't love only the joints and tough "lying policemen." This is also not a problem - take the version of Momentun or Inscription, they are "default" without sports suspension. At the same time, save money, and the interior of these more "family". But for me, it is better to leave so - the role of Sport-shift is suitable for Volvo XC60 better than the role of an exemplary family man.
Russian sales Volvo at the end of 2017 rose a quarter to 7010 cars. Demand contributed to the update model Row and weighted price 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 is rushed into battle, which has just won the World Car Title - 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). Volvo brand is one of the few who sells more in Russia diesel carsthan 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 issues with the warming of the cabin removes the prep heater 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 50 mm to lower the back of the 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. There is no progressive course, I want to add, especially since the stabilization system does not oppose the rear axis light slides. 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 a new hs60 much more versatile car than it 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, dual-zone climate control, roof hatch, Collision prevention system at 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?
The premiere of Volvo XC60 new generation took place in March 2017 at the Geneva Motor Show, and his serial release started at the end of April in Sweden. Up to us, the car reached at the end of last year. Yes, and then first to dealers did the cars of a limited series First Edition in the "rich" configuration. Full-scale delivery SUV began only this year.
The crossover became the fourth model Volvo built on the SPA modular platform. The car came to the shift of the successful model previous generationwhich for nine years of production was separated in Europe with a circulation of almost one million copies.
XC60 loves in Russia, last year, by the way, it was he who became the most-selling Machine Mark in our country. The results of the first months of sales of this year also suggest that the crossover has excellent prospects in our country.
The new XC60 is created in the image and similarity XC90, but if the last and may be complaints about the exterior (from behind, for example, designers clearly overwhelled), then his younger brother received ideal proportions and looks really cool.
Here, as well as on other new models swedish company, front optics in the form of "Thor" hammer, and a wide grille and a bulk bumper give the appearance of the car of aggressiveness.
Many XC60 may not like due to the fact that it is similar to the XC90 (and indeed, now all the Volvo is similar), not to confuse one model with different parts. For example, the running lights have grown up with a radiator grille, and rear Lights There are horizontal sections.
The salon is also performed in the same style with XC90 and S90. But there are differences. So, here are other ventilation deflectors, and the decorative insert on the front panel is now stretched from the steering column to the passenger door. However, this does not cancel the main quality of the materials and the level of interior development at height. There are no extra details here.
All car control is carried out using the touch screen on the center console. The vertical display of the Sensus system is very responsive and sensible. I personally, when communicating with him there is no problem, but there are those whom the Volvo approach itself seems wrong.
They say, the lack of physical keys is not the most best ideaSince the security suffers primarily: while driving it difficult to choose the function you need and have to be distracted much more often from the road. But, I repeat, personally, I did not have such problems - it is quite possible due to the fact that it was used to get used to Sensus during tests.
XC60 quickly manages you in the level of comfort that you just don't want to go out of the car. Crossover, as it usually happens, it turned out a little more, wider and longer than the car of the previous generation. Naturally, this was reflected primarily on the living space inside the car. It is clear that there are many places in front, it is so clear, but the second row turned out to be full, three passengers will be able to accommodate without any problems.
The trunk of 505 liters is, of course, not a record in the classroom, but for the average city dweller enough for his eyes. With folded seats of the second row, it can be increased to 1432 liters.
In Russia, the XC60 received two diesel and two gasoline turbomobiles with a capacity of 2.0 liters: the first - with the return 190 (D4) and 235 (D5) L.S., the second - with a capacity of 254 (T5) and 320 (T6) L.S. The drive is complete, gearbox - 8-range automatic.
Regarding the presence of only two-liter engines in the Volvo motor range, so much has already been said that it is unlikely to eat separately. Yes, I personally, such a situation also does not seem correct, but you can not get anywhere from reality. Swedes decided to bet on such engines.
Check how new XC60 is going - we went to where the snow is even more than this year in Moscow - to the North of Finland (Ivalo, Lapland). Polar - an ideal place for winter dough New VOLVO crossover.
It will not be possible to drive around the local roads. Although roads and excellent, but the limitations are 80 km / h and 100 km / h. Well the main problem - These are the fines, here they are draconian, so the Finns try not particularly violate: exceed the speed maximum a couple of kilometers. For all the time only once got a racer on Ford Transit.Yes, and then he turned out to be Pole.
With such a measured and leisure ride, the main task of the driver is not to fall asleep. Once again I managed to make sure that Volvo has one of the most comfortable and comfortable seats in the premium class. You can adjust them for yourself in a matter of minutes, but here to leave the cozy chair is unlikely to want. 260 km, which we drove from one city to another, flew unnoticed.
XC60 confidently feels on the asphalt, drive a pleasure crossover. However, the difference between driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Dynamic, Individual), in which the suspension settings, electric and power unit are changed, are practically not noticeable.
At the same time, even the younger gasoline version (T5 - 6.8 seconds) of the capacity is enough to make no worry about overtaking on the track. What to say about the car with the engine T6 (320 hp), which makes a "honey" in 5.9 seconds. Diesel machines dynamics are not so impressive (D4 - 8.4 seconds, D5 - 7.2 seconds), but it is quite enough.
Volvo would not be Volvo without a whole heap of new-fashioned assistants. For example, here is the City Safety system is supplemented with automatic infringement function. It allows you to avoid frontal collision. Together with it there is a system for monitoring blind zones (BLIS), reducing the risk of a collision during rebuilding. Optionally available Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, capable of driving a car at a speed of up to 130 km / h. However, it works if the markup is visible.
Check the suspension on almost perfect Finnish roads it was not particularly possible - with all the small irregularities, the XC60 coped without problems. Another thing - how exactly the crossover will appear in Russian realities.
But we had the opportunity to test cars on the Ice Polygon White Hell ("White Hell") company Nokian. Its area is more than 700 hectares. Extreme conditions winter driving It is simulated here from November to May, and daily temperature fluctuations can reach up to 40 degrees. As representatives of the Finnish company told us, more than 20,000 tires pass here for the season. Impressive!
And it is in the "white hell" on the frozen lakes we have experienced XC60 all day. Riding on ice is radically different from the usual conditions: electronic helpers are not needed here. When disabling the stabilization system, we are trying to move to the managed skid, but it is not so easy to do. In fact, the XC60 does not allow you to turn off the ESP to the end to the end to the end, so it will not be possible to print on the crossover - the car simply will not give you a purker. Still for Volvo Security - first of all.
Another point is seat belts. During the drifts, the electronics was often frightened and started to choke a belt. Yes, so that you forget about everything - just to quickly escape from the chain arms of the car. However, under normal conditions, there will be units in the manageable drift, so this problem simply does not exist for most drivers.
By the way, in addition to the Swedish crossover in the "White Adu" we managed to check in the case and new tires nokian.. Hakkapeliitta 9 with versatile spikes (alone oppose longitudinal slip, others - cross offsets) perfectly showed themselves on a bare ice. If you are mostly moving in the city, it will be enough and "lipuchk" R3.
But back to the XC60 and summarize. The Swedes managed to make a car, which not only looks great, but also goes great. In the cabin of the car everything is so perfect that it is simply not for what. The quality of materials and the level of VOLVO execution has long been no longer inferior to representatives of the German "Big Three". And the new crossover is a lively confirmation. In Russia, XC60 is sold from 2,925,000 rubles, the top version costs from 3,584,000 rubles.
