Emphasizing sports attributes, Volvo C40 real car pictures exposed

Although the Volvo C40 model was launched globally early, it has not achieved outstanding sales in any region. Consumer recognition is very average, not only in the Chinese market, but also in the United States and Europe. Recently, the EX30 model has stolen the limelight. In fact, Not sure What kind of consumers are buying this model? It stands to reason that a C-series model should highlight its sportiness. However, this sporty attribute does not match Volvo’s overall tone. Secondly, it uses the XC40 platform. The creation is not pure enough and is somewhat embarrassing.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car is exactly the same as that of the XC40. In fact, it is not very sporty. There is a thin slit under the closed protruding panel. On the left and right sides are polygonal headlight groups with T-shaped daytime running lights inserted into the front bumper. Elements such as the partially trapezoidal lower grille and the air intakes in the fog lamp area are probably similar to the design of the old BMW 3 Series Fashion Edition, and do not have much sporty added value. On the side of the body, it is of course a sportier angle, using a crossover coupe SUV, which is currently the only Volvo brand, but the roof transition is more arcuate, adding a touch of personality.

rdinary door handles and framed doors will not be missing, and the rearview mirrors are still square in shape, showing the XC40's origins. The large-size wheels enhance the sense of strength and fashion, and have a good visual effect. The rear part of the car is also relatively sporty. The split rear wing is also the only one of this brand. The unique taillight shape is bent and gathered, which is somewhat like the transition of the new generation model. There is also a small spoiler on the roof, and the rear bumper part It has a simple black decoration, which is basically the same as the XC40, making the style of the entire vehicle unified.

In the interior part, the new car cannot be said to be sporty at all, because the design of the XC40 is copied, and of course there is not much sense of luxury and technology. The overall focus is on a simple, vertical LCD screen. Nowadays, the LCD instrument panel cannot keep up with the times. Echoing this, the exquisite electronic gear lever will not be absent, and additional atmosphere lights are added to the door panels and passenger side, which can be regarded as an important feature.

In terms of power, the new car has been equipped with a rear drive assembly, which is a big improvement and improves the sense of sportiness, but the parameters are not high. The maximum power is 238 horsepower and 408 horsepower respectively. The electronic control system consists of dual motors. The four-wheel drive system can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds at the fastest time. It is matched with 72 and 83 kWh lithium battery packs and has a pure electric range of 670 kilometers under CLTC operating conditions. We can only wait and see what kind of performance it will have in the future.
