The back seats are large, but not as good as a minivan

New Nissan Leaf G (ze1) I am riding a white / blue two-tone.
The other day, when I took a test ride on the V40, I realized that it was a car with a much better atmosphere than VOLVO thought.
So, the V60 twin engine that I was quite worried about.
I was able to test drive here.


The seat of the V40 was very comfortable with the firm leather and the leather of the V60 was a bit softer.
However, the height of the texture is still the same, and I feel the commitment to the seat.

When you actually buy the next car, it's better to have a much wider rear seat than the reef.
The overall length of the V60 is a little longer at 4,760mm, but what about the size of the rear seats?


In this picture, the seat is slightly behind, but it's a spacious backseat.
That is the impression.
Even so, it is still smaller than a minivan that can freely move the backseat in Japan. It may be that.


I wasn't able to take a lot of photos inside the car because it was a test ride for a while, but after all, this high quality interior of VOLVO is irresistible.
I don't know exactly what Scandinavia is, but for some reason, Scandinavia is cool! !
I will think.

Not too flashy, not too calm, a little luxurious and a little restful.




The motor output is low and the engine feels good

The test drive this time was a V60, twin engine, so it was a PHEV.
A 10 kWh battery is placed under the console box between the driver and passenger seats.

PHEV is an EV with an engine.
I was that kind of perception, but after all it seems that the feelings are different depending on the manufacturer.


During EV driving (Pure mode), even if you stepped on the accelerator, there was no acceleration like a reef.
The output of the motor itself is not very high.

In EV mode, I try to run on only the motor and battery as much as possible, so I feel like I'm trying hard without running the engine.
When you come there, the output of the motor is not so high, so it doesn't get a stiff acceleration.


Conversely, in power mode, the engine is running all the time, and it seems that the output of the motor is combined there.
With a pleasant engine sound, it accelerates quickly and lightly.

"Yes, this PHEV is engine-oriented."
I felt strongly like that.

When it comes to EVs, it feels a little unsatisfactory, but the motor is loose and the engine is nervous.
I thought it was such a seasoning.


In that sense, the engine that runs with this light and comfortable sound is quite comfortable.
To be honest, I really wanted it.



Is the size of the luggage room reasonable? After all it is styling emphasis

VOLVO's station wagon has a very large luggage compartment!
I had such an image.

Looking at the cargo room of V60 with such colored glasses ...
Well, it's not much different from a leaf ... it's too much.
There is no overhang of the tire house, it is refreshing and nice, but it is wide!
There was no impression that.


You may feel narrow because there is not much height.
However, this styling held low,
Just cool!

If you can go on a leisurely trip with your family in such a car, you will feel wonderful no matter where you go.
It was V60 that was fascinated.
