At the Beijing Auto Show not long ago, Haval announced a new SUV called "First Love". When I first heard its name, my feeling was: Has Haval already passed the initial stage of relying on piling up product value to gain attention, and has turned to naming it as an "Internet celebrity" to accumulate gimmicks? In fact, this, like the previous "Big Dog", also came through online voting. Do netizens have the right to name products? According to this, it would be so embarrassing to have a "one-night stand" or an "ex" in the future.
Faced with this name that contains a huge amount of information, I believe many people have already felt ripples in their hearts - looking back at the past, the sadness and joy of those scenes are all accompanied by the word "first love" Flooded into my mind... Bang! It's time to wake up, you can't handle this name, because although the intention of the name is good - to make people remember and cherish the lost beauty (it resonates with their first car), but just imagine, When you introduce your "first love" to your lover with joy, I can be sure that the other person's face will be as complicated as your own. It can range from a "cold war" for a few days to a decisive decision to scroll through your phone and communicate with you. You are irreconcilable. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to get married after a period of love. There must be another him or her before him/her. Therefore, you must consider your emotional history before bringing back your "first love", and don't let a car become an inducement to spread suspicion or "family disharmony"! The manual is funny here.
Q: I was looking at Volvo’s S60 recently, but my relatives recommended it to me? Audi A4L. How should I choose between these two cars?
A: In terms of brand strength, Audi is definitely better. After all, as a first-tier luxury giant, its domestic recognition cannot be compared with Volvo. In addition, looking at the products themselves, there are also major differences between the two cars, including design styles, passenger space, driving and handling textures, etc. The last two items are key points.
Volvo S60
First of all, the S60 maintains the same wheelbase as overseas models and has not been lengthened for localization. The advantage is that it is original, the body shape is more compact and coordinated, and it matches the wide body The sporty atmosphere behind the body is more intense. However, the disadvantage is that the vertical space in the back row is not as good as that of its long-axis counterpart - in my experience, the knee-to-knee distance in the back row is about a punch (1.8 meters tall), which is just enough. At the same time, there is a high bulge in the center of the floor (there are four-wheel drive versions overseas, leaving space for related components), which greatly affects the comfort level when fully loaded.
Secondly, the S60 is built on a transverse platform. It is characterized by a more compact power cabin layout, but the center of gravity is also more concentrated on the front of the car. That is to say, high-speed cornering is more likely to produce a head-pushing effect, and the original control limit On the low side. Of course, it is difficult to trigger similar scenes in daily use. During regular driving, the S60's European chassis can still bring a high level of dynamic performance.
Audi A4L
Then let’s talk about Audi A4L. After the facelift, the appearance is obviously much sharper, and the two design packages provided can also satisfy consumers. If you are a young person, I recommend the "dynamic model". The sporty temperament is more in line with the tonality of this car.
In terms of space, the wheelbase of the A4L has been extended to 2908mm, and the knee-to-knee distance in the rear row is one palm (reference height of 1.8 meters), which is almost double that of the S60 (2872mm). It can only be said that the 36 mm of growth has been fully used on the blade, and the MLB EVO platform has also been optimized to the greatest extent - even if it is installed vertically, the mechanical part does not encroach too much on the cabin.
Finally, let’s talk about the power part. Both S60 and A4L are equipped with 2.0T engines, and provide high and low power versions. From the parameter point of view, the two are basically on the same level, except that the mid-power model (S60? Caused by. Because of this, the A4L is significantly more cost-effective than the S60 in the highest version - at a similar price, the former can at least buy a four-wheel drive system, which plays a key role in enhancing acceleration and control stability (fuel consumption will be slightly higher).
In short, the Volvo S60 impresses those who care about appearance with its original design and superior temperament, especially the white sports version is really beautiful. As one of the oldest luxury mid-size cars, the Audi A4L has an unshakable influence in the country. As for the product itself, its space and core technical strength are slightly better than the Volvo S60.
This time I recommend the Audi A4L.
