These two models are somewhat different in terms of positioning, the Mercedes-Benz C-class plug-in version of the main or low energy consumption, while the Volvo S60 plug-in version of the main is high-performance.
In terms of power, the Volvo XC60 plug-in version is equipped with a plug-in system consisting of a high-powered 2.0T engine and electric motor, with a combined maximum power of 456 hp, matched with an 8AT transmission and an electric four-wheel drive system, with a 100 km acceleration time of 4.7 seconds and a pure electric range of 84 km.
The first look at the S60 plug-in version, most people should not expect this is a plug-in car model, because its appearance is too low-profile, and the fuel version of the model basically remains the same, no exaggerated sports kit, no exaggerated exhaust layout, quite a bit of a pig eat tiger feeling.
Size, Volvo S60 plug-in version of the length, width and height are 4778/1850/1430mm, the wheelbase is 2872mm, positioning is a medium-sized sedan, insist on domestic not lengthened resulting in body size and wheelbase in the same class of luxury brands are not much advantage to speak of.
Volvo S60 interior: As a luxury car, the interior is fully equipped
Interior, the familiar Volvo family design style has a strong Scandinavian model, the layout is simple, the interior is environmentally friendly and odorless is its biggest feature, crystal electronic gear knob also creates a strong sense of class; and the center screen is running the native Android system, equipped with Take-map, KDDI voice recognition engine, car networking and other related functions, belongs to the luxury brands in the localization of the content to do better It is one of the better localized car companies among the luxury brands.

Volvo S60 plug-in version disadvantages: not enough space
To talk about the disadvantages, the Volvo S60 plug-in version is also relatively obvious, such as insisting on the domestic not lengthened, rear legroom performance is slightly better than the domestic compact sedan, compared to the Passat, Accord and other medium-sized sedan has a significant gap, and the Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series long wheelbase version compared to the obvious gap. In addition, because the battery pack is arranged in the central channel position, so the floor rises very large, almost can be considered a four-seat model, riding in the middle of the rear, even children will have a feeling of legs nowhere to rest.
On the other hand, the too low profile is both its strengths and weaknesses, after all, some people like low-key luxury, and some people like to flaunt their personality, for a model that focuses on high performance, the mainstream practice of most car companies are equipped with exaggerated aerodynamic kits, which also to a certain extent guide the aesthetic orientation of consumers, compared to the Volvo is really a stream of fresh air, but also destined to The S60 plug-in version is a niche choice.
The low profile has a strong performance, with "suit thug" to describe the Volvo S60 plug-in version is not too much, more than 80 km of pure electric range also has a relatively strong practicality, but the space performance is not really outstanding, so it is difficult to obtain any advantage in the same level of competition.
So the question is, buy the S60 plug-in version of the car enthusiasts, which aspect of its advantages you like the most?
