To replace lexus ES? Soon after listing, it dropped by 30,000, 2.0T+8AT, and the wheelbase was more than 2.8m.

From the fierce competition of mid-level cars last year, it can be seen that the turn of the wind, especially the competition of competitors such as Camry, Passat and Accord and the reshuffle of the market structure, has made the mid-level car market segment full of many bright spots. In fact, in the luxury brand B-class car camp, the competition among Audi A4L, BMW 3 SeriES, lexus es, Volvo S60 and Cadillac CT5 is also quite fierce.

Volvo S60, which was just upgraded in mid-June and February last year, also showed its due sincerity at a price of 286,900 -46. 1.9 million yuan. Although compared with Camry, Accord and Asia Dragon, the starting price is a bit high, but from the perspective of competitors at the same level in the luxury brand camp, such pricing is quite good and grounded.

Based on SPA architecture, the new Volvo S60 is equipped with 3 versions of 2.0T engine (T3, T4 and T5) and 4 options (T8 plug-in hybrid), matching the 8-speed automatic manual transmission. Compared with the old model, the new Volvo S60 has some improvements in the interior, many configurations, and satisfactory comfort and texture, but it is a pity that it lacks a little fashion sense.

The length, width and height of the new Volvo S60 are 47611850/1437mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2872mm. Although such a body size will not make the interior space less tense, it will also make the interior space less relaxed, especially compared with the length, width and height of 4837/ 1843/ 1432mm and the wheelbase of 2908mm of Audi A4L, Volvo S60 still has some shortcomings.

Last year, the total sales volume of Volvo S60 was 654.38+0.6 million, and the market performance was not very good. Compared with the performance of Audi A4L, BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class, it can be said that Volvo S60 is far behind. Even compared with lexus es, many people say that the biggest failure of Volvo S60 is the lack of interior space and fashion sense.

Fortunately, the new Volvo S60 has come to its senses. Although some improvements have been made in some details, such improvements are somewhat insignificant, and we only need to make efforts to decide whether to take quantity as the "price". Brother Express learned from a number of third-party channels that the newly upgraded brand-new Volvo S60 currently has a preferential margin of 30,000 yuan in the market. It seems that Volvo S60 is ambitious!

Are you determined to attack or replace competitors such as Audi A4L, lexus ES and Cadillac CT5 with a discount of 30,000 yuan just after upgrading? The arrival of sincere price may improve the performance of Volvo S60, but the courier brother thinks the effect is not too great. Why? After all, in the B-class car segment, Volvo S60 lost at least in terms of space easing.

Written at the end: It's not that Volvo S60 is bad. On the contrary, it certainly has its own advantages, but its competitors are trying to change themselves to please consumers. The shortcomings of Volvo S60 are also obvious. Lack of interior space, unfashionable appearance and low market recognition are all factors that restrict its sales promotion, so many netizens said that if it can be reduced by 50,000 yuan, Volvo S60 may replace lexus es.
