Test Drive Volvo Xc70 of the first generation. The second embodiment of Volvo XC70. Types of Volvo XC70 engines
When slipping and active acceleration, the motor energy Volvo XC70 is divided by half between the front and rear axles of the car. With help aBS systems Torque is distributed between the wheels of one axis. On a normal road, the car becomes an advanced-exterior, distributing torque as 95% in front and 5% rear.
The straight car holds well, little rolls on turns. Transmission is configured for a good ride. Smooth gear shift configures comfortable ride.
Types of Volvo XC70 engines
Test Drive Volvo XC70 passed in two various equipment - on diesel engine D5 and gasoline T6. Both engines go only with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 5-cylinder diesel engine produces 205 horsepower, and a 6-cylinder gasoline turbo larger - 285 horsepower.
The torque of the diesel engine is 420 N / m, gasoline - 400 n / m. Gas engine Accepted up to 100 km faster - for 7.6 seconds, diesel - 8.9 seconds. The motor works quietly, and noise insulation is simply at the height.
Additional Information
Additionally, you can order adjustment of the force of the steering and stiffness of the suspension. On the Volvo XC70 driver test, the average diesel engine consumption was 10 liters in a mixed cycle, 8 liters take place on the track. The gasoline 3-liter motor spends 14 liters per 100 kilometers. VOLVO driver's seat as always convenient. Passengers are no less comfortable than the driver. The weight of the car is 1900 kilograms, but thanks to the excellent chassis Large dimensions are not felt. The VOLVO HC70 trunk is huge with a comfortable loading height, and the seats are easy to fold.
The price of Volvo HS70 with a diesel engine is 1 million 600 thousand rubles, with gasoline engine - 1 million 800 thousand rubles. However, the test drive Volvo XC70 showed that the price of the car is not overestimated and it is worth it as much as they ask for it.
Volvo XC70 is a representative of a small class of cars that can be called anticrinus. While the latter are usually created by "marriage" platform a passenger car With a slightly enlarged clearance and original body A la SUV, this concept greatly simplifies the task of developers. The most expensive element of the car - the body - remains the same as the base model, not counting the plastic protective and decorative parts, and the technical changes are reduced mainly to the geometry of the suspension and adaptation of the "trolley" to use the wheels of different dimensions. By the way, the Swedes were not pioneers in this direction: here you can remember not only Subaru Outback, but also the American AMC Eagle of the late 70s of the last century.
At the heart of the XC70, as well as the basic wagon V70, and at the same time, the representative sedan S80 is lying the Volvo P3 platform, it is Ford EUCD. Her first carriers were minivans Galaxy / S-Max, a little later joined them Ford Mondeo. Now has now been the last generation. The scheme with an independent suspension "in a circle" and the base front-wheel drive meant the transverse layout of the power unit, and the Swedish constructors managed to place between McPherson racks in line "six" of their own development Volvo. Four-wheel drive Also became an exclusive, unavailable for "Fords", although there was nothing supernatural in it: the third-generation Friction Haldex coupling, controlled by electronics, was used on models of other brands. A feature of its configuration for Volvo has become a permanent "preload": even without signs of slipping the front wheels, at least five percent of the torque is transmitted to the rear.
The Hill Descent Control system, which greatly facilitating the movement of steep slopes, the XC70 has divided the cars of another Ford Vassal for those years - Land Rover.. But the adaptive chassis Four-C, allowing the driver to vary the stiffness of the shock absorbers, depending on road Conditions and their own preferences was available for the same Mondeo in expensive equipment. However, it has a very mediated attitude to off-road abilities, geometric parameters are more important here, and they are better in XC70 than most crossovers - 210 mm of the road lumen. True, on the folds of the terrain, the working moves of the suspension are not less important, and here it is not worth waiting for miracles from the "passenger" platform: the pair of wheels are on the diagonal of the diagonal without much effort, and the electronic emulation of the interlock differentials is not a panacea.
But off-road ambitions and in appearance The car is expressed very moderately, and this XC70 is more honest of many ji-like crossovers, also not having a lower transfer and other all-terrestrial specifics. And you can conquer the city off-road with the front actuator, especially since this initial version recently received the newest force aggregate Drive-E families consisting of a supereconomic two-liter turbodiesel and eight-step automatic box Transmissions. Such a car accelerates to 100 km / h almost for a second faster than the all-wheel drive XC70 with a 2.4-liter motor of identical power, working paired with the former six-speed "machine", and fuel consumes 0.7-3.0 l / 100 km less if you believe in passport data.
In parallel with the update motor line XC70, like other Volvo models, received several other technical innovations that do not affect as they say maximum speedbut fashionable and relevant. The main one is steering with electric power planet function, digital instrument combination, advanced multimedia system and active headlights that do not blind drivers of countercourses.
For the Christmas holidays, my family and I got together in the depth of Russia - the Penza region. And relatives visit the winter for the winter, which in Moscow did not hurry.
Just perfectly approached our small vigi of the HC70, and that's why. Volvo wagon has a spacious lounge and a big trunk, besides powerful motor And a complete drive that allows you to implement the craving and make management safe. No less lucky to my children. The test vehicle was equipped with the PREMIUM SOUND audio system with 12 dynamics dynaudio, subwoofer and changer on 6 disks, and most importantly two 7 inch monitors in the front head restraints with a DVD player with the AUX output to which two pairs of wireless headphones go. So on the road they did not have to miss. Children enjoyed favorite cartoons, and my wife and my beloved music.
Especially useful were rear seats Equipped with additional booster pillows for children. They can be raised and fasten the child with standard safety belts, which saved me from trouble with children's chairs. In cold weather, when it had often to sit down and get out of the car, pleased the electronic key of the PCC, which made it possible to open and start a car without removing the key from the pocket. Also, with its help, without applying to Volvo, you can check, the machine is closed and if not, correct the position.
In my opinion, the new 70-ka looks somewhat defiant, about this testified the obstacles of not only pedestrians, but also the drivers of the provincial town where we drove.
In the cabin everything is functionally and convenient. We are all families with comfort with comfort, and the eighty fellow travel journey flew almost unnoticed for us.
On the track behind the wheel of the HC70, I felt confidently, the car perfectly retains coursework stability, and the 238th strong engine ensured confident cravings with all overtakers and allowed it to do it pretty quickly in a pair of 6-speed automatic transmission. The box made a switch smoothly without jerks. Even in manual mode, when for overtaking from an economical 6th transmission, jump on the 3rd switching smooth.
During his stay in Nikolsk, frosty weather was, at night before -30, and in the afternoon about -20. The car was started every morning without any problems and never gave signs of failure, it can be said that the XC70 passed the test and at low temperatures. However, it is worth noting one "low-temperature" disadvantage. The fact is that the leather interior was so watched that it was possible to sit in the seats calmly sit, not afraid to frozen the fifth point, only ten minutes after the heating is turned on. About the rear seats I am generally silent, after half an hour of intensive warm-up of the cabin, they still remained cold. Apparently due to the built-in baby pillows, the rear sofa was deprived of heating. The bright interior is of course beautiful, subject to snow-white snow, here he remained so, but upon arrival in Moscow, the salon quickly began to "Dark".
Say old horse The furrows do not spoil, and here we spoiled, however, this time the skiing. Choosing a suitable place with a beautiful scenery for photography, I decided to call the hill in the forest on the outskirts of the city. Despite the fact that the snow on the slope at first glance was well tumped, to the top of the hill to rise, and failed. Having overcome three quarters of the way, the car began to fall into the snow, and everything strangled the anti-slip system, as a result, we sat down before I managed to disable it. So failed to compete with skiers. After holding the car, in the "interesting position", I really began to think where to take the tractor. However, disabling DSTC and beatov reverse Under the slide managed to get out. Going down, I decided with the DSTC disabled, go to the "second round", but it was cold. Testing a family on adaptation to low temperatures, waiting for the tractor, I did not dare.
Finally, I want to say a few words about the electronic systems of those present in the configuration of the car provided to us. One of the original options is an adaptive cruise control (ass). This cruise control, working in a pair with a radar, which tracks the distance you specified until a cargo car. In the case of a smooth deceleration of ahead of the car, the XC70 also smoothly reduces the speed, switching to reduced throwing up to 15 km / h. If the car slows down in front of the car sharply, the conflicting hazard warning function is turned on, accompanied by sound and light alarms, and Volvo prepares brake system To emergency braking, increasing pressure in it. When front car Leaves from the zone of the radar xs70, the speed set is typically typically. Although such systems are also available at competitors, but officially they are unresolved in Russia, so only the Volvovsky radar works at permitted frequencies.
Also on the test car the system was installed monitoring dead Zones (BLIS), it is designed with the help of built into the outer mirrors of the cameras to monitor the dead areas of the car, and when the car appears there, the light lights up with the corresponding side. But, as a rule, when this system was triggered, I perfectly saw a moving car in the rearview mirror.
More than others I was pleased with the thing that did not belong to electronic systemsbut improving security. On the way to Moscow, in the Ryazan region, the dirt flew from under the wheels, the janitors worked almost without a break over four hours of the path, while side glass They remained almost completely clean to Moscow. At first I was surprised, about myself praising aerodynamics, but later I learned that Volvo uses front side glasses with a special water-repellent coating.
What can be said in conclusion? Of course, I was satisfied with the car, receiving a comfortable and safe journey for the whole family. A spoon of tar can be called except fuel consumption. In the urban mode, it amounted to 21.5 liters per hundred, and on the highway about 14.4 liters, despite the fact that I tried to go in economy mode. It can be noted that people buying such cars on consumption do not pay much attention, however - a penny ruble takes place, and it is more often refueling.
The cost of XC70 with a diesel 185-strong motor and six-speed mechanics is 1 328 500 rubles. The prices of the wagon tested with a 3.2-lillion 238-strong R5 and automatic transmission starts from 1,431,800 rubles.
While the whole world awaits exit new version The most high-tech and safe SUV Volvo XC90, whose competitors come out one after another, his younger brother, past three restyling stages, the Volvo XC70 model continues to delight the veneers of the Swedish car industry. And not only the 2013 version, but also models of the 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2011, although the latter are more restyled devices.
The main characteristics of the salon
VOLVO XC70 SUV model in question latest version represents a car highest level Safety, efficiency, but at the same time retains the echoes of the archaic design of the nineties of the 20th century - this resembles the shape of the doors, a thick pile in the cabin, a torpedo shape. Thanks to these factors, the Swede is highlighted among its competitors Audi Allroad. Quattro, Mitsubishi Aitrek, Subaru Outback, Mitsubishi Outlander., Volkswagen Passat. AllTrack.
Pretty ancient and strict decoration of the cabin in the mode of the 90s, and uncomfortable downwardly directed down adaptive digital screen of the multimedia system. Very much similar to sedan Volvo. S60 is the multimedia system, and the same interior finish materials, the same electronic panel devices, and car climate control system. At the same time, the analogy was more apparent after the last restyling of the SUV in 2013. However, against the background of these archaic, the VOLVO XC70 crossover stuffed with almost all new options that are built into newest models Car global brands. The quality of the performance of the Swedish SUV is also at the level, or even ahead of all its more expensive and equipped competitors. When you sit in the Volvo XC70 salon, there is a feeling of some monumentality and solidity, when the machine moves, there are no screens, "crickets" and other outsiders, even when overcoming certain irregularities of the road. According to the statements of the Swedish company, all the materials applied in the car are fully anti-allergenic and 85% of them can be reused.
Very comfortable crossover
The Volvo XC70 SUV is rightly considered one of the most comfortable cars. This is a leisurely crossover in which there is no mechanical box Transmissions, it is quite sharp when entering even in smooth turns, it has no sharp and non-elastic brakes, but quite confidently stop the car. The consequence of softness and comfort are regular "clumsy nose".
Such behavior of Volvo XC70, not typical of the devices of such a level, is due to the use of a far from the new "Ford" platform of EUCD in it, bulky overhangs and long springs. It looks like an old ten-year-old Valya big Universal or frame SUV.Since there is no stiffness, shocks, shocks at the congress from a high border - all this leads only to a non-essential score of the SUV bodice without causing any discomfort! This comfortable crossover, thanks to the wide road clearance At 210mm, it does not experience problems with geometric permeability, very confidently behaves on off-road. But something supernatural from Volvo XC70 should not be expected - and he has weakness. And this is, as not strange for an SUV, the possibility of a full drive that is missing in basic configuration. All-wheel drive crossover premium version of Volvo XC70 is equipped with a special branded system, the main chip of which is Haldex coupling developed by engineers volvo companies.
Haldex Coupling is a "smart" self-locking differential based on the Viscounts with electronically control and electronic components, which sets the parameters of the transmission operation, taking into account the speed, the operation mode of the brakes, engine and other systems.
Thanks to this system, the car connects the rear wheels only with an increased load and slip of the wheels seen by the SUV system. The four-wheel drive is connected smoothly, acting to work up to 65% of the torque, again, depending on the load. On the dry and roven roadlike most modern SUVsThe XC70 uses only front-wheel drive.
VOLVO XC70 engines
Volvo XC70 is equipped with three options diesel engines. Two five-cylinder engines: one with a turbocharged volume of 2.0l, another 2.4l turbodiesel. One four-cylinder engine volume 2.0l with turbocharged and START / STOP system, which allows you to save from 5% to 35% of fuel depending on the manner and travel mode.
It is worth noting this engine Develops 181 hp and 400 nm torque, and tear up to 100 kilometers per hour for 8, 8c, while five-cylinders give up to 163 hp And "achieve hundreds", on average, for 10, 5c. Although, in practice, the most common Volvo XC70 in Russia with a volume of 2, 4l will not be allowed to bored on the road due to sufficient power. This model features slight fuel consumption. This powerful crossover It has the following modest appetites: from 4.3l per hundred at the car with the START / STOP system, when driving along the highway, up to 8.6l in the city cycle in the usual 2.4l engine with a turbocharger with moderate driving.
START / STOP system is designed to save fuel by reducing the engine operation on idling. When the car is stopped, the engine is turned off, and when the clutch pedal is pressed (for mechanics) or release the brake pedal (for the machine) quickly starts.
Security system and price Volvo XC70
Volvo cars are considered among the safest in the world. This was achieved not one decade. This model A reliable SUV is distinguished by the enhanced body frame, the power-eyed structure of the front part of the car and the SIPS side protection system.SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) - the proprietary system of protection from the side impact appeared at Volvo in 1991. At the moment, it is set to all Volvo cars and reduces the number of heavy damage to the driver and passengers by 40%.
In addition, the Volvo XC70 crossover is equipped with a variety of other security systems, which, given all possible factors for the impact on the car, contribute to the preservation of the health and life of participants road. As always, the safety of the car at Volvo in the first place.
The Volvo XC70 crossover is a fairly not cheap "workhorse" on the market, and its maintenance costs a lot of money, which is clearly not suitable for economical boxes. The basic version of Volvo XC70 is available at 1500,000 rubles. This does not include many necessary options, which are usually present at its competitors in this price niche - this most of corporate equipment, adjustment of the stiffness of the suspension, the system against falling asleep, rebuild assistant and other options. But despite this, the model does not cause a feeling of an obsolete moral car, it looks quite fresh thanks to the new proprietary frame wheel disks, plastic linings on the bumper and arches, and continues to use enhanced demand and, quite possibly, together with the expected SUV new Volvo. XC90 2015 We can see another restyled version of the XC70 crossover.
Video Test Drive Volvo XC70 on the road and off-road
Volvo XC70 is a "lift" Full-size premium wagon, which is optimally combined by practicality, comfort, safety and good off-road potential ... The second generation car, built on the basis of the S80 sedan, has guessed the international debut in March 2007 on Lams in Geneva And soon after this event began its sales on the world's leading markets.
Exactly six years later, everything in the same Switzerland, the restyled "Sarai" debuted increased passibility - He was noticeably corrected the appearance, the interior was created and "slept" the new modern "lotions", but did not touch the technical component. In such a form, the five-year existed until May 2016, when he left the "car scene".
Outside the Volvo XC70 of the second generation demonstrates attractive, strict, solid and harmonious outlines. Despite the fact that the moderately square car body is deprived of design sizes, it is pleasant to the eye from all angles - a cute front with neat headlights and a rack of the radiator, a monumental silhouette with expressive sidewalls and large arches of wheels, "sheer" feed with elegant lamps and two " trunks " exhaust system. The founding of the classical exterior of the wagon is added massive plastic protection around the perimeter and cross-road clearance.
In the length of the oscillate "Saray" reaches 4838 mm, the distance between the axes extends 2815 mm, and the height and width are 1604 mm and 1870 mm, respectively. In the "combat" condition, the machine weighs from 1743 to 1893 kg, depending on the modification, and the clearance in this form it has 210 mm.
The interior of the "second" Volvo XC70 is a top of conciseness: he resembles a good Scandinavian dwelling, which "flares" rather simple, but stylish design, flawless ergonomics and the highest quality finish. At the workplace of the driver - a multifunctional "steering wheel" with a three-hand rim and a large diameter of the "hand drawn", the combination of instruments (in the "base" - analog dials). The front panel is headed by a 7-inch screen of the multimedia complex, and the central console with an abundance of buttons and regulators of different calibers, controlling secondary functions, is located below it.
In the salon wagon a lot free space And in front and rear. In the first case, perfectly designed seats with unobtrusive side support, heated and solid adjustment set, and in the second - a comfortable sofa with integrated children's supports, which allow you to carry children without a special chair.
"Konk" Volvo XC70 is great freight opportunities. Even with five passengers on board, a huge compartment of 944 liters remains on board (when loading in terms of glasses is more than 500 liters) with smooth walls and floors. A folded "gallery" increases capacity up to 1580 liters and forms a smooth "rookery" with a length of almost two meters.
Specifications. For the Swedish "shed" of increased passability stated a large number of modifications:
- Gasoline motors are row "five" and the V-shaped "six" volume 2.0-3.0 liter with direct injection, varying phases of gas distribution and turbocharging, the potential of which has 245-304 horsepower and 360-440 Nm of torque.
- The diesel part combines turbocharged five-cylinder engines by 2.0-2.4 liters equipped with battery injection fuel and 20-valve GRM and outstanding 163-220 "stallions" and 400-440 nm affordable traction.
Motors work in partnership with 6-speed "mechanics" or 6- or 8-range "machine" and all-wheel drive system with inter-axis haldex couplingwhich in normal conditions directs 95% of the power on the front wheels, but if necessary, up to 50% of the moment moves to the rear axle.
The second "Release" Volvo XC70 goes to conquer the second "hundreds" after 6.8-10.8 seconds, and the maximum reaches 195-215 km / h.
Gasoline modifications of the five-year "destroy" 6.7-10.6 fuel litters in mixed mode, and diesel - 5.2-6.8 liters of "diesel".
The universal sacrifice is based on the Volvo P3 platform, and its body structure contains a large number of high-strength steel varieties. All wheel wheels are suspended using independent suspension: In front - these are classic MacPherson racks, and behind - multi-dimensional architecture. In the "top" versions, he "flares" adaptive, controlled electronics, shock absorbers.
The steering system of the Fifteen consists of a rush mechanism and a hydraulic control amplifier. The "Swede" slows down through disk brakes "in a circle" (on the front axle - ventilated) with a whole set of modern "promged".
Package and prices. In Russia (on the car support market) Volvo XC70 of the second generation in 2017 is offered at a price of ~ 1,200,000 rubles (although, if desired, you can find more available options, but their condition "depresses").
Regardless of the configuration, the universal can boast: six airbags, ESP, ABS, a system of helping when moving up the mountain, two-zone "climate", 16-inch "rinks", heated front armchairs, light sensor, fogy Farams, audio system, electric windows of all doors and a huge number of other "chips".
