What cars are on the SPA platform?

SPA platform generally refers to Volvo's SPA platform. The models produced on the SPA platform indeed cover all Volvo models except the XC40, including the XC60/90, S60/90, and V60/90, all of which are derived from this platform. Below is a related introduction to Volvo: Exterior Design: The domestically produced Volvo XC60 largely retains the design of the overseas version, with identical exterior dimensions—length, width, and height measuring 4688/1902/1658mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. The new car is built on Volvo's latest modular SPA platform. Compared to the older model, the new XC60 features Volvo's signature 'Thor's Hammer' LED headlight clusters, a redesigned front grille, and chrome trim. The L-shaped taillights highlight the brand's identity. Interior: The interior follows Volvo's design language, incorporating silver or wood-grain trim panels. The 9-inch central touchscreen is similar to the interface previously seen in the S90, offering various multimedia entertainment and vehicle setting functions. Additionally, the new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel.
As a Volvo enthusiast, I often study SPA platform vehicles. It's most famous for the XC90 SUV, which offers stable handling and safety; there's also the compact XC60 SUV with its practical and spacious interior. In the sedan category, there's the luxurious S90 and the V90 station wagon, both featuring refined interiors. For a sportier feel, the S60 and V60 are great choices, delivering an enjoyable driving experience. These cars share the same chassis technology and electrical systems, making maintenance hassle-free. In car enthusiast groups, we often discuss their high cost-performance ratio and low failure rates, making them ideal for families or commuting. The latest models come with smart systems, making highway driving assistance incredibly convenient, saving fuel and being eco-friendly. Personally, I've test-driven the XC90 and V60, and their sound insulation outperforms competitors in the same class. However, I recommend checking electronic components during maintenance to prevent aging. Overall, SPA platform vehicles cover a wide range of needs.
