If the traditional fuel vehicle wants to do electrification products, then plugging and mixing is definitely a good choice, can be on the green card + new energy subsidies; this product has become the choice of some consumers, but also become the field that some brands are increasingly valued in the era of electrification. Since last year, the number of plug-and-mix products in the market has gradually increased and the strength has gradually become stronger.
At the same time as the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, the Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid model ushered in a facelift this year, still 3 configuration versions, the price is still 527,900-603,900 and the old model is consistent. After the new car was redesigned, it was improved compared to the old model in terms of power and mileage, but the price was not adjusted.
This time, how do we choose from it? Which one is more worth it?
More than 500,000, is it better to choose pure electricity?
Looking at the selling price first, the starting price of 527,900 has pulled the threshold relatively high. In the same price point and the same level of market, the most direct competitor of Volvo XC60 new energy should be Lexus NX New Energy; in addition, this price point in the pure electricity market can also get the Weilai ES6 top products.
How to choose among several products? These modified Volvo XC60 new energy models, there are no major changes in appearance, interior and configuration, and the main changes are concentrated in the power.
1. Continue to use the 2.0T turbocharged engine, cancel the old model of mechanical supercharging;
2. The maximum power of the engine has been increased from 223kW of the old model to 228kW of the current model;

4. WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is 2.5L per 100 km;
5. The battery capacity has been increased to 18.8kWh, and the pure electric cruising range has been increased from 50km to 64km.
Let's first look at the two plug-and-mix products, Volvo XC60 New Energy and Lexus NX New Energy. Although the prices of the two products do not overlap, the lexus NX new energy top price is 509,800 yuan, and the Volvo XC60 new energy entry price is 527,900 yuan, and the difference between the two is only about 20,000 yuan.
If it is the time for consumers to choose, these two products may be a bit tangled.
The power combination of a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine (maximum power 136 kW) + 18.12 kWh battery used by Lexus NX New Energy has a maximum power of 195 kW and a maximum pure electric cruising range of 76 (73) km. The power level is slightly weaker than that of Volvo XC60 New Energy, but the cruising range has increased by 9-12km compared to it. In the process of switching to the actual car, the extra ten kilometers of pure electric mileage may also be reduced to a certain extent.
If you expand the configuration comparison, it can be concluded that volvo XC60 new energy in the four-wheel drive drive form, active and passive safety configuration is better, convenience / comfort configuration Lexus NX new energy to do more comprehensive. Combined with years of terminal market experience, the Volvo XC60 new energy terminal market price may have surprises, but the Lexus NX new energy terminal price will certainly not have surprises.
How do I choose between two cars? Excluding a wave of space party, volvo XC60 new energy wheelbase 2865mm has obvious advantages over the wheelbase of Lexus NX new energy 2690mm, if the pursuit of abundant space in the car can consider Volvo XC60 new energy. For power + four-wheel drive system or higher cost performance, choose Volvo; for consumers who want a richer configuration, a sufficient power system and do not care about the terminal price, choose Lexus.
If you hesitate between Volvo XC60 New Energy and NIO ES6? In fact, there is no need, Weilai ES6 top price of 526,000, wheelbase 2900mm strength is not bad, cruising range of more than 600km, and now there are 12,600 new energy subsidies, the same price point of view how to buy how to fit. Therefore, the entanglement between these two models only needs to understand a problem, and whether it will consider buying fuel vehicles in the future.
The price is unchanged and the strength is improved, how to choose?
It is still three products, and the price is still 527,900-603,900 yuan, which is consistent with the price of the old product. Buy the new model or buy the old model this question is actually a good answer, the new model in the power and pure electric mileage has a certain degree of improvement, at this time unless the old model is more preferential, there is no reason to choose the old model.

The above two models support the optional installation of air suspension and Baohua Weijian audio, corresponding to a total price of 23,800 yuan and 25,800 yuan, respectively, totaling 49,600 yuan.
