There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people
Remember the crossover car that swept the world at that time - Volvo C30, the new car with a smart "posture", with the inline five-cylinder engine, won the love of a large number of young consumers. Today, Volvo has "resurrected" the C series and brought with it a new pure electric model, the C40. The pre-sale price of the new car is 267,000-328,000 yuan, and the pre-sale has now begun.
As we all know, Volvo's models are mainly divided into three categories, the XC series represents the SUV model, the S series is a sedan, the V series is a station wagon, and the C series seems to have long been stalled in 2012. Until the arrival of the C40, Volvo's desire for gesture was reawakened.
In terms of appearance, the Volvo C40 is the first attempt at a slip-on SUV design, which is more dynamic than the XC40. Like many electric models, the new C40 features a closed front grille design that makes the front of the car more simple. The iconic Quake headlights on both sides, using the latest pixel-level technology, are composed of 84 LED light beads inside to provide even better illumination. At the same time, a large number of angular designs are used in the hood and bumper positions to enhance their sporty properties.
On the side of the car, the Volvo C40 adopts a lower styling design than the XC40, and adopts a new power aerodynamic modeling behind the B-pillar, which further reduces its wind resistance coefficient. The taillights, which are wound around the rear and extended to the roof, are wider than the XC40 and blackened. At the same time, the fixed wind tail wing is combined with the slip-back shape to make it more dynamic overall. The new car has a wheelbase of 4440/1873/1591mm in length, width and height, respectively.
Inside, the Volvo C40 features a minimalist design unique to Northern Europe. A 9-inch central touch screen and a 12.3-inch display make up an entertainment technology system. The unique landscape of Sweden's Abisko National Park is outlined on the door panels and co-pilot trim panels, making it textured again. At the same time, the new car also introduced the Volvo 100% Leather Free concept, and did not use animal leather in the steering wheel, gear and seat, making the crew compartment more environmentally friendly.
In terms of power, the new car adopts dual motors in front and rear to realize an electric four-wheel drive system. The maximum combined horsepower is 408 hp, the peak torque is 660 N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 km/h takes only 4.7 seconds. In addition, the new car is equipped with a battery pack capacity of 78kWh and a WLTP range of 420 kilometers.
Volvo C40 as Volvo's first pure electric coupe, Volvo launched a quadruple package for this pre-sale, with a total value of up to 50,000 yuan. In addition, Volvo electric car owners can enjoy the scooter service provided by Volvo. The new car is currently available for pre-order and adopts the sales model of direct sales on the official website, and is expected to be officially launched this year.
