If we look at the new 2021 Volvo S60 and examine it, there is a renewal in its exterior design. Our vehicle is a little longer than its competitors. The total length is 4761 mm and becomes the longest vehicle in its class. It also draws attention with its axle openness of 2872 mm. 1850 mm is the largest place of the vehicle. With these features, it manages to offer a great privilege in its segment. At the front of the new Volvo S60, there is a double swing suspension, spiral springs, hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. In the back, the transverse composite leaf spring integral axle and the hydraulic shock absorbers, the stabilizer bar Volvo S60 are among the most important features of the vehicle. In the new Volvo S60, the exhaust outlets on the right and left under the back of the bumper on the back and the bright aluminum transitions that complement it represent sportiness and power, while the vehicle’s 2.0 -liter and 250 hp engine is of course important for the power outputs of the vehicle. Again, the new S60 attracts a strong design with the appearance of a very powerful behind and on the side of a bullet design symbol. The new Volvo S60 luggage standard equipment also opens with the key on the switch or the front driver on the cockpit. The closed baggage compartment of the vehicle is exactly 436 liters. In the second part in the closed baggage compartment, there is an area of ​​391 liters. The separate storage areas in the baggage compartment have a 27 -liter storage area around the baggage compartments, behind the wheel arches and below the floor. In the standard hardware of the new Volvo S60, you handle the baggage by hand. A luggage closure button (automatic) is not found. When we look at the exterior design of the Volvo S60, we see that when we look at the front and side of the vehicle, we see that it has 10 branches of alloyed wheels that are presenting with Michelin brand tires as standard in 18 inch. One of the most remarkable places of the vehicle. Again, on the other hand, we see that it resembles the back of a bullet with a design from the rear luggage to the middle of a coupe. The aluminum bright frames on the glass edges of the vehicle have added sharpness to the design and color of the vehicle. The outer trim part in the middle poles includes bright hard parts. The front hood extending forward and the longest part of the vehicle, the sharp top lines designed as outdoors on the hood part, the soft -shoulder lines that are soft, adding a sharp sportiness to the vehicle, it also seems to look stronger and energetic. This new 2021 model Volvo S60 has presented an incredible unique exterior design. Short front fender heights on the front -handed front of the vehicle’s powerful muscle structure of the shock absorber and tires also highlight. The new Volvo S60 is located on the 360 ​​-degree camera system offered with standard hardware, while the most successful is the best 360 viewing system I’ve ever found. Especially when parking or back maneuvers, just look at the screen in front of you. If you are in a maneuverability with this tool in the reverse gear, and the bike, motorcycle or a pedestrian remaining in the blind spot, which is approaching you from behind, and in case of passage, the vehicle stops by braking itself. This should not surprise you at all.

Now let’s move on to the interior features of the vehicle’s new Volvo S60 and the inside. First of all, the new Volvo S60 offers a vehicle with non -artificial skin in the standard equipment of the vehicle. Even on the side doors of the vehicle, these real leather coatings are equipped. A soft inner floor covering in most inner trim pieces of the vehicle was also used by combining this skin. All parts of the vehicle are covered in this way. Plastic has very little evening. The right front passenger seat is standard as a versatile adjustable electrical and memory. Thanks to the rear axle angle of the vehicle and the outdoor length of the rest, the seating position with a very wide and good knee distance is offered to passengers. Likewise, a good head distance that is not narrow has made the passengers comfortable. The new Volvo S60 has a leg distance of 895 mm. On the front is a new Volvo S60 as a new user running, transmission, driving mode and gear selective arm (crystal). Keyless starting, parking sensor, Autostart & Stop standard. Thanks to Volvo’s connection and information-entertainment system, all the new Volvos are connected. It offers a intuitive touch screen interface that combines vehicle functions, navigation, connected services and in -car entertainment applications such as Spotify, Pandora, Baidu or Tunein. As with the Volvo 90 series cars, smartphone integration with Apple Carplay and Android Auto is also available. Again, you intervene in the air conditioner here as a touch-tized. It has a very good sound system.

You can open and cover the safety elements of the vehicle from this screen. We can see that the inner base coating of the new Volvo S60 is just to the sides. Manually, height and depth can be adjusted steering wheel. In the front chest of the vehicle and in the cockpit, it is symbolized by wood transitions. The top ceiling of the vehicle contains an electric automatic -opened curtain and Sanroof.

Driving: With the hardware of the vehicle’s new Volvo S60, the driving part, the most exciting heart; We are here with a very, very different S60. The best of what has ever done. A infrastructure built on the 60 and 90 series. AWD and a very quiet gasoline engine. Moreover, 250 hp (horsepower)! So this is exactly incredible… I used the B3 and B4 series with previous S60 engines. And with them, I went and went between a lot of cities on the long road. But they were normal 2 and B3 (163 HP), B4 (197 BG). Moreover, the B3 motor 265/28-65 Nm torque, B4 engine 300/25-70 Nm torque, while the new Volvo S60 B5 Mild-Hyrid and AWD engine 350/30-80 Nm of torque produces.

Moreover, as a plus, the electric motor offers a torque of maximum 40 nm with a maximum of 10 kW power. I don’t exaggerate when you think of all this, but a super car stands in front of you. With 3 different driving modes, ECO, Comfort and Dynamic (Sport). I usually tested the tool in Comfort mode and sport mode. When you buy the vehicle in these modes, not only the gas response, but the suspension shock absorber structure, steering system and safety elements are adjusted accordingly and respond to the road condition. The new Volvo S60 offers a very fast driving and gear shifts with the AWF8G45 transmission than ever before. Acceleration from zero to 100 km (0-100 km / h) offers you acceleration with only 6.5 seconds and adhesion to a very good place. It is glued to your back seat. An incredible force. One of the best Volvo cars. At least as good as XC90. Even the S90 cannot be so fast in this sense. It really made a difference in accelerating its competitors according to its weight of up to 2060 kg. Gas reactions and steering wheel responding instantly. The best offered AWD system is a engine that is quite economical alongside all this excitement and adrenaline. It is a diesel consistency that burns quite economically as much as gasoline.
