The Volvo XC60 weighs 1.9 tons, with a length of 4688mm, width of 1902mm, height of 1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. Impact of vehicle weight: Vehicle weight is quite important for a car model. Nowadays, lightweighting is a trend, and using lighter yet stronger materials while ensuring safety is the future direction. The lighter the vehicle, the lower the fuel consumption, and the easier it is to handle, especially noticeable when turning, as greater weight means greater inertia. Weight of the Volvo S90: The Volvo S90 weighs 1.784 tons. A typical car weighs around 1.5 tons. Generally, family cars range between 1.2 to 1.3 tons, mid-to-high-end cars between 1.4 to 1.6 tons, and heavier cars between 1.8 to 2.0 tons.
I've driven the Volvo XC60 for a while and found its dimensions quite user-friendly for daily use: approximately 4.68 meters in length, about 1.89 meters in width, and 1.68 meters in height. These measurements make parking in compact city spaces manageable, though navigating narrow alleys requires extra caution. The trunk space can comfortably fit four suitcases, making it ideal for family trips. Weighing around 1.9 tons, it's significantly heavier than sedans, contributing to exceptional stability—especially noticeable on highways where wind noise is minimal and there's no swaying or drifting, enhancing the sense of security. Fuel consumption is slightly higher, though the hybrid version offers better efficiency. Overall, the balance between size and weight is well executed, and the parking radar system proves extremely helpful.
