Design Aesthetics
In terms of appearance, Volando inherits the Chevrolet family design language style. The front face contour is not exaggerated, but it adds a lot of fashionable conditions, making the front part have a good layering. The large-mouthed air intake grille is very frightening. The interior is spliced by several silver bars, and the Chevrolet logo is integrated in the center above.
headlights are equipped with LED high and low beam light sets, daytime running lights, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, and headlight delay turn off.
walks to the side of the car body, and the wide and thick stretched lines are continued. While highlighting the layering, they also look very tough. The upper waistline runs through the front and rear bodies. There are obvious convex marks at the leaf board . All ABC columns have black spray marks. The multi-spoke silver aluminum alloy wheels are exquisitely shaped, and the specifications are 225/50 R17. The rear shape is calm, and the wide taillights run through the edge of the car, which has a good visual effect after lighting up at night. The exhaust tail throat adopts a hidden layout, which weakens the sense of sport. In terms of interior of
cockpit
, the interior of the cockpit adopts a symmetrical layout combination. The T-shaped cockpit is a durable style type, and the two-color combination looks very lively. When you touch it with your hands, you will find that there are many soft materials on the front panel of the co-pilot, which has a good texture. It is a little regrettable that there are no multi-color ambient lights inside, the steering wheel supports up and down adjustment, and there are many multi-function buttons integrated on the surface.
handlebar area is set to an independent control position, and a wide-shaped handrail box is also installed at the rear. The surface is blessed by stitching technology, which looks very textured. The air outlet is a conventional horizontal layout, the 3.5-inch non-full LCD instrument panel is a double-cylinder design, and a color driving computer screen is integrated in the middle. The 6 speaker speaker has clear sound effects, and it will be very atmosphere when listening to music alone at night.

The seats are made of fabric, and the internal fillings are moderately soft and hard, so you won’t feel stiff even if you ride for a long time. My friend is 178cm tall and enters the back row according to his normal sitting posture. The remaining space on his legs is 1 punch and 3 fingers, and the remaining distance above his head is more than 1 punch. I personally think the experience is very spacious.

The sudden brake was performed at a speed of 65km/h, and the body could maintain a relatively decent posture without significant heat attenuation. The maximum speed can reach 190km/h. Thanks to the addition of the mild hybrid system, NEDC fuel consumption has been reduced to 6.1L/100km.
car cost
car cost, we calculate it through three parts: maintenance cost, energy consumption cost, and insurance cost, and assume that we run 20,000 kilometers a year. Volando's fuel consumption cost per 100 kilometers is 6.1L, and we can calculate the energy consumption cost from this.

insurance costs are generally higher in the first year, and there are also differences in the quotation according to different insurance situations. For the sake of statistics, we assume that there will be no insurance in 5 years, and then the estimated cost will be calculated at a 30% discount for the next four years.
