I want to hear the weather in China.

Volvo XC40? A pure electric product produced by a traditional luxury brand-charging, is eager to cut into the high-end pure electric market. Today, Electric Bang got a Volvo XC40? Charge, and let's see how this car performs.

Because this evaluation focuses on the car system, we will talk about the exterior and interior parts later. Let's take a look at the performance of this car, which is called "a car interface tailored for China consumers, equipped with a native Android system that cooperates with Google".

To sum up, I think Volvo XC40? RECHARGE's in-vehicle system is a good in-vehicle system, but it is almost meaningless to say that it is an "intelligent cockpit".

Why do you say that? Keep watching and you'll know.

■? The simplest is the most convenient.

This lathe system is simple, convenient and easy to use, and its response speed is not slow. For example, the main interface of the APP can slide, and some commonly used applications can be fixed on the main interface, which is also considered as a "smart bookshelf". This design allows users to complete the corresponding operation with only two or three clicks, which is very simple to use.

In addition, the control panel for air conditioning, seat heating and other functions is always fixed at the bottom of the central control panel, and the dual-zone air conditioner can be adjusted at will, supporting voice control, and common functions such as on/off, cold/hot, on/off, face blowing/foot blowing, and defrosting before opening the windshield can be identified, which is more convenient.

■? Full marks for navigation and music experience

It must be emphasized that Volvo XC40? Recharge navigation and music are very easy to use, which is why I say it is an excellent car machine. Because for people like me who don't like talking to cars, no matter how complicated and intelligent the car system is, I only use navigation and music. Volvo XC40? Recharge is enough.

Look at the navigation first, Volvo XC40? Recharge has built-in high-tech navigation, which is very convenient to use and the basic functions are well done. Support voice and manually add waypoints (that is, "I want to go to XX first, then to XX"). In addition, personalized settings have been made for electric vehicles, such as displaying the remaining power after arriving at the destination, and charging piles have special buttons on the navigation main interface, which can be clicked to search for nearby charging piles.

Navigation can synchronize the dashboard, which is a feature I like very much. It is obviously convenient to watch navigation on the dashboard, and it can also avoid the problem that the system does not jump back to navigation when the central control panel opens the navigation and then opens the air conditioner or music page. It is very friendly to me, a road idiot who is flustered without looking at the navigation for a minute.

In addition, there are several small highlights in this navigation system.

1.？ Multiple common destinations can be set.

You can set different types of common destinations, such as home, company, parking lot, nearby restaurants and so on, by sliding on the map of Gaode in the "Application Display Shelf".

This operation is very fast. It only takes two clicks to complete the steps of setting up navigation to the company, which is much faster than voice control.

2.？ Support keyword selection navigation destination

After hearing "I want to eat hot pot", it is not a strange function to automatically search for nearby hot pot restaurants, but many brands of cars will ask you "which one to choose", and then you can only answer "N". But what about Volvo XC40? The top-up car machine supports you to answer keywords. For example, in the following example, we can just answer "sip" and navigate to sip.

3.？ Support different types of destination selection in the same category.

For example, if you want to find a nearby hotel, how about Volvo XC40? The recharge will first ask you whether you want to stay in a five-star hotel, a four-star hotel or a youth travel service, and then recommend a suitable place for you after you make a choice.

Besides music, Volvo XC40? Recharge chose Tencent's favorite music, and integrated QQ music, Himalayan, WeChat reading, news express, radio, voice control and other functions. After scanning the code on WeChat or QQ, the content of the mobile phone can be synchronized to the car.

Because I was forced to become a member of QQ Music, the experience was not bad. Of course, if you are a music lover of Netease Cloud, then I suggest you connect Bluetooth. It only takes ten seconds to connect for the first time, and your car can play the songs in Netease Cloud.

Besides, Volvo XC40? Recharge navigation works well with music. Before mentioning this car, we mentioned Geely Xingrui, which is related to it. The central control panel of Xingrui is foreign, but there is a troublesome problem. If you turn on navigation and music at the same time, every time you say navigation, the concert will stop and suddenly resume after navigation.

Describe in detail that you want to catch shrimp farmers. Suddenly, a mechanical female voice said, "Go straight at the crossroads", which simply exploded. When you are halfway through the explosion, you have to go back to catch shrimp farmers. The whole experience was sour, and I couldn't wait to turn off the music and sing by myself.

But what about Volvo XC40? Recharge does not have this problem. The way to deal with it is to automatically reduce it to BGM after the concert navigation, and then slowly recover after the navigation. There is no problem of emergency stop and emergency start, which is quite comfortable.

At this point, you should understand why I said Volvo XC40. The top-up car is a good car, because the basic functions are really good.

■? Voice interaction needs to be thoroughly opened.

Next, let's talk about the voice interaction system of this car, which is an important factor to evaluate whether this car is intelligent or not.

In this regard, my colleagues and I talked with Volvo XC40? Recharged for a few hours of passionate chat. I'm thirsty. Volvo cars are very hot. To sum up, Volvo XC40? The voice interaction of recharge gives me the feeling that the basic function is good, but it needs to be more thorough, and it is also a bit … iron and simple.

First of all, as I described above, this voice interactive system controls navigation and air conditioning very well. Music, support search, cut songs, pause. It can identify such problems as "I want to listen to G.E.M.'s songs" and "I want to listen to Boss Huang's songs", or it is not difficult for it to identify FM broadcasts such as "I want to listen to FM 103.9", but it cannot identify specific names such as "traffic broadcast". If you want to listen to "The Current Progress in COVID-19", you can also play the latest news for you. But there is a problem. The voice control related to music, news and broadcasting must be called listening.

In addition, voice query weather, stocks, flights, trains, encyclopedias (such as what is an emperor penguin), Volvo XC40? RECHARG can answer questions and support the identification of main and auxiliary drivers.

However, the voice control of this car still needs more comprehensive access. For example, voice control cannot control windows, skylights, etc. And many independent brands have long been able to achieve these functions.

In addition, Volvo XC40? RECHARG's dialect recognition ability needs to be improved. Basically, I didn't understand anything except Northeast dialect, so I had a fight with myself. For English, it is amazing that it can recognize what you say, but it can't talk to you and learn dumb English.

What's more, if you ask the car machine to tell a joke, it will seriously tell you an ancient popular joke, especially the word "girl", which I haven't heard for nearly ten years. ?

For another example, if you ask it "What 5A scenic spots are there in Beijing", it can't answer.

In addition, Volvo XC40? RECHARG also developed the app-Volvo keeps pace with the times? Open? Call, can realize remote unlocking/unlocking, air conditioning control, travel sending and other functions.

■? Automatic driving assistance system

Volvo XC40? RECHARG's automatic driving assistance function can be started by the button on the left side of the steering wheel, or you can keep your hands on the steering wheel all the time to ensure driving safety.

When the autopilot assist function is started, the corresponding icon on the dashboard will be lit to remind the driver that he has entered the autopilot assist state at this time, and there is no other obvious reminder. In addition, a car in front will be displayed on the instrument, indicating the distance and state of following the car, but it cannot actively identify other vehicles in the surrounding environment. When the following distance is too close or the hand leaves the steering wheel for too long, the vehicle will send out obvious sound and icon warning to attract the driver's attention.

XC40？ RECHARG's automatic driving assistance only supports ACC adaptive cruise, and does not support higher-level assisted driving functions such as changing lanes with turn signals. The lane keeping function is also biased towards passive keeping, which only reminds and corrects when the vehicle deviates, and it is impossible to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane through program prediction.

In the process of driving assistance function, the vehicle follows the action naturally, and the acceleration and braking are not abrupt. When other vehicles are suddenly plugged in front, the handling is also relatively calm, which will not bring too much tension to the driver.

■? The appearance and interior are very tasty.

After talking about the car system, let's look at the appearance and interior of this car step by step.

Appearance, Volvo XC40? RECHARG is a replica of XC40 with a closed front face, which is more concise. In addition, this blue car paint is low-key and elegant, and its saturation and brightness are very comfortable.

Raytheon's hammer headlights and Viking's axe taillights let people know at a glance that it is a Volvo, and with the price of 357 thousand, I am more confident to pick up the car and leave Binzhi behind.

The interior is also a replica fuel version, which looks simple as a whole. What is worth mentioning is the comfort, support and wrapping of the seat.

Looking at the central control area again, to be honest, at 202 1, I feel that I can draw a stylus from the right side of the big screen, which is a bit retro.

Open the central control screen, the UI is designed just like MP4, and the APP is placed on the shelf for you to choose. In addition, in recent years, everyone's appetite has been hung up by other brands, so it is really difficult to attract consumers' attention on the surface.

I opened my own Sina news conveniently, and the reading experience of white characters on a black background made me dream back to the time when I read novels in high school. Of course, if you use it to watch videos again, you will get the experience of watching dolls vertically, which is really wonderful.

But as mentioned above, although the overall appearance and UI are a little retro, it is relatively simple and easy to use, and there is no learning cost, which is also an advantage.

In a word, this set of exterior decoration with Volvo brand effect gives people the feeling that the interior is very safe.

■? Excellent driving quality?

Volvo XC40? RECHARG is equipped with front and rear double permanent magnet motors, with a comprehensive maximum output power of 300 kW, a comprehensive peak torque of 600 Nm and an acceleration time of 4.9 seconds per 100 km.

In terms of driving quality, it can only be said to be a luxury brand. There is nothing wrong with the brakes, wind noise, tire noise and chassis suspension. There is no strange pedal stroke, no strange noise, and no inexplicable feeling that the chassis is leaving me.

I always think that a car is a good car as long as it doesn't act like a demon when driving, and it is worth blowing if it can give people some surprises. Volvo can obviously do this. I ran a few kilometers on a bumpy dirt road near Wangjing, and I was blocked by the front car and fell into a concave road with it. That's when I got KONI? The FSD (Automatic Damping Adjustment) isolator starts to work, which can make the isolator more comfortable and soft in bumps and can comfortably cope with bad road conditions. In addition, this kind of shock absorber can also make the car get more support in corners and reduce the roll.

■? Bangping branch

Is that Volvo XC40? RECHARG's experience content, in general, this is a car that performs well in all aspects. If you are looking for the brand, workmanship, driving experience and other aspects that need to be accumulated, what about the Volvo XC40? RECHARG is a good choice. If you want some intelligence, it will satisfy you.
