What is the difference between Volvo TA and TM?
2 Answers
TM can reset the trip distance, typically used to measure the distance between each refueling to the current refueling. Press the reset button at the top of the stalk (the light control stalk) to clear it. TA refers to the trip distance, which measures the distance from the current start to the current shutdown, and can be used to measure the distance from point A to point B. More related information is as follows: 1. Models: Volvo has models such as S40, S60, S90, etc. For example, the Volvo S90 is a luxury sedan under Volvo, divided into five models: T4 Momentum, T4 Inscription, T5 Inscription, T5 R-Design, and T5 Excellence. 2. Engine: The T5 Momentum model is equipped with a T5 engine, with a maximum power of 254 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The T8 Twin Engine Inscription model's powertrain has a combined maximum power of 407 horsepower and a peak torque of 640 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, achieving a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.9 seconds.
As a long-time Volvo fan who frequently takes the XC90 out with a trailer, I must say there's a notable difference between TA and TM. TA primarily refers to the Trailer Assist system, which helps automatically control the steering wheel to maintain stability without swaying when reversing with a camper or boat—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. On the other hand, TM is more about the Traffic Management system, activated during urban traffic jams to automatically adjust speed and follow the car ahead, preventing rear-end collisions and reducing driver fatigue. Technically, both utilize cameras and radar to sense the environment, but TA demands higher traction requirements, while TM optimizes commuting efficiency. Both represent upgrades in active safety, particularly reducing accidents during nighttime or inclement weather. Choosing the right mode for daily driving makes life easier, and maintenance is equally straightforward—no need to worry about additional costs.
