Volvo V60 V90 everything imitates

22 February 2018

And in Russia, he also will not ship

When looking at these pictures involuntarily the question arises: why Volvo once again presented V90, because this model was announced last year? But we already have a completely different car — the Volvo V60. As the German competitors, the Swedish company now offers the game "find ten differences".

You should give chief designer of Volvo, Thomas Ingenlath tribute. Swedish station wagons used to look balanced, but now they are dazzling seductive. The down side is that the unification of appearance: Volvo V60 can be distinguished from V90 only slightly altered front headlights and a slightly more prominent rear arches. The difference at the level of nuances. But the length of the body varies very considerably: 4 761 939 mm against 4 mm. in the salon of a novelty is not to be distinguished from the XC60 crossover. 

Volvo V60 and V90 will be close and part art. The new "barn" is also built on a modular platform SPA, and under the hood will be the same modular series motors Drive-E. Car will be sold in petrol versions of T5 and T6 with a capacity of 225 and 275 horsepower, respectively, and the diesel D3 and D4 on the 135 and 165 HP. It is noteworthy that on petrol variation the first time will be equipped with only eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, and all cars on the "heavy fuel" is not to find alternatives to the "mechanics" of six speeds and front driving wheels. Here's the fuel segregation.

Announced just two hybrid versions, Volvo V60: Twin Engine T6 AWD and T8 Twin Engine AWD. Both will receive electric capacity of 117 horsepower and battery capacity of 10.4 kW∙h. In turn, the impact of a petrol turbo volume of two liters will be different: 253 or 303 horsepower. This tandem will develop 340 horsepower and 590 N·m in the case of the T6 AWD Twin Engine and 390 horsepower and 640 N·m T8 Twin Engine AWD.

So if you liked the Volvo V60, which you have already started to save money to buy it, you can relax: in Russia it will be impossible to buy. Even in this aspect, "shestidesyati" repeat the fate of the Volvo V90, which we have not delivered. But sold "liftaway" V90 Cross Country, so in the foreseeable future it will be possible to look at the V60 Cross Country, whose announcement will take place in the near future. Soon there will be also the platform of the Volvo S60 sedan.
