The car system is upgraded again, and the safety configuration is more powerful. The new Volvo XC90 T8 is officially launched

Recently, Volvo’s new XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid version was officially launched, and the manufacturer’s guide price is 894,900 yuan. The appearance of the new car has not changed much, and more is the use of a fully upgraded car system and safety configuration. The power still continues the 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, with a comprehensive maximum power of 335kW and a zero-hundred acceleration time of only 5.4s.

In terms of appearance, the new car still uses a quadrilateral air intake grille, and the interior is embellished with a straight waterfall-style middle net shape, supplemented by Volvo’s classic LOGO logo, which must be quite recognizable. The headlights on both sides of the front are also equipped with "Quake" LED daytime running lights, and the overall front is decorated with a lot of chrome-plated materials, which enhances the strong aura.

In fact, the design of the new car has not changed much, mainly in terms of configuration. The new car is equipped with the world’s first built-in native Android car system jointly developed by Volvo Cars and Google. The operation is relatively smoother, the response is more accurate, and the human-machine interaction interface has become more delicate. Although there is still a certain gap with the car system of high-end domestic cars, it is also much easier to use than some European cars.

In terms of interior, the new car adopts a large-size full-LCD instrument with a new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, next to which is an embedded central control screen with a longitudinal layout. The middle partition of the seat retains some commonly used physical buttons and its own crystal electronic gear, which makes the interior feel more luxurious and low-key. In terms of configuration, the new car is also equipped with an automatic speech recognition system provided by "iFLYTEK". The automatic speech recognition function supports context understanding, and can interrupt interference and keep continuous conversations unimpeded.

Safety configuration has always been the main direction of the Volvo brand. All new cars are equipped with the third-generation "City Safety" urban intelligent safety system as standard, with ultra-high-specification "ultra-sensitive sensors" to create a 360-degree bird’s-eye panoramic visual perception. There is also a standard "Pilot Assist" pilot assistance system, and supports high-end driving auxiliary features such as rear automatic braking, upcoming departure notification, emergency stop assistance, etc.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. The comprehensive maximum power is 335kW, which is about 456Ps of horsepower. The comprehensive peak torque reaches 709Nm. It is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an electronic four-wheel drive system, and the zero-hundred acceleration time is 5.4s. What’s more worth mentioning is that the new car will also be equipped with a "single pedal mode", which can reduce driving fatigue when commuting to and from work in traffic jams or driving on mountain roads. At the same time, if you press the accelerator deeply in pure electric mode, the engine will intervene later, and the NVH level in the car will be optimized to the greatest extent.

Summary: The Android car system jointly developed by the new car and Google can provide consumers with space to install more Android apps, and can also make the connection between users and the car closer, so as to achieve another "human-car integration" realm. In addition, the upgrade of the safety system must be essential for the Volvo brand. After all, this is the brand label recognized by Volvo consumers, so the new car provides a series of new designs on safety, and also relatively improves the powertrain. Such an almost all-round model only needs 894,800, will you pay for it?
