In terms of design, XC40 adopts Volvo's family-style front face, the iconic middle net and the "Raytheon Hammer" headlights, which is highly recognizable. There are no sharp lines on the side, but the wide C-pillar design makes it look thick. Combined with the size of compact SUV, Che Jun thinks that Volvo XC40 looks more suitable for young single aristocrats or couples than joint venture SUVs such as Mazda CX-5 and Willanda.
In terms of interior, like appearance, it is still a Nordic simple design style, which is very luxurious. The air outlet surface of the air conditioner is very delicate, and the 9-inch central control touch screen integrates man-machine interaction system and supports CarPlay. The LCD dashboard shows clearly, although it is not as gorgeous as German, but it is very convenient to use, and there is not much unnecessary information.
In terms of power performance, the T3 version is slightly weaker than the 2.0T model. The maximum horsepower of 1.5T engine is 163Ps, and the peak torque is 265n·m, which is enough for urban road driving. At high speed, thanks to the wide transmission ratio range of 8AT gearbox, it can still have a good dynamic response even if overtaking, but it may take some time to adapt to the hiss of the engine at high speed.
In terms of chassis, in fact, Volvo has given XC40 the orientation of urban petty bourgeoisie life, so its chassis adjustment does not exercise, which belongs to comfortable family car adjustment. When passing through the bumpy road, you can obviously notice that it is as smooth as possible, but its supporting force is still softer than that of a sports car in cornering.

About the delivery service fee and financial consulting fee, Volvo stores also have relevant information. These two fees are the official contents of Volvo's charges, not the personal behavior of 4S stores. To sum up, we need to spend 242,000 yuan to buy this Volvo XC40, and the down payment of 50% is 6.5438+0.39 million yuan.
For Volvo XC40, Che Jun believes that for young families, a budget of 250,000 yuan is better than choosing a compact SUV with a luxury brand. After all, it is a city commuter vehicle, and the demand for space will not be too great. But if you are a family car with children, perhaps the space performance of the Volvo XC40 still needs to be considered.
