Great Canyon, Göynük-Kemer
Author: Özgür Sunay | Photo: Can Aydeniz

I have shared with you by testing the “Recharge Twin Electric” electric vehicle of the Volvo XC40. This time, the XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5 gasoline model to make the test drive with my teammates from Istanbul, Antalya, we set a long road. I also had the opportunity to compare the XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5 with the other electric XC40 version. I noticed that there was no performance difference between the XC40 gasoline Hybrid and the electric version of the two in this long -way driving. When we approached Antalya with the XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5, we were talking to my teammates between us and my teammates.

I don’t usually remember that I feel a tiredness on the long road in Volvo models. In this respect, as in the XC40 other S90, XC60, XC90 models, all everything is combined with comfort and technologies. The XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5 is generally accelerated with long road experience, braking, comfort, comfort and safe journey with a fictional model on the safe, as well as a “hybrid”, which is a rechargeable feature, where you can think of energy with a special SUV.

Kemer Mevkii, Göynük famous Grand Canyon Volvo XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle in line with the road conditions. In addition, the XC40 electrical model, which I had previously made the “off-road” test drive, was not difficult to predict what our Volvo XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle could actually do in line with the conditions in the field. The XC40 Plug-in Hybrid and Göynük canyon on the distant routes in this way on the hard floor between the rocks on the hard ground because we take ourselves in the canyon with the road we can not reach each vehicle, especially in places to take part in this large canyon directly helps us to take good photos.

The 1.5 -liter T5 gasoline turbocharged 3 -cylinder engine is accompanied by a plus electric motor. While the T5 gasoline engine produces a total of 180 horsepower in 5,800 rpm-Dakika, in addition to the Plug-in hybrid electric motor data, the total system torque is 425nm and total electric power is 85 horsepower. 180 horsepower 3-cylinder T5 gasoline engine, while the additional plus 85 horsepower electric motor comes from the XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle in total, it is useful to remind that it has a power like 262 horsepower. In addition, our vehicle drive wheels-stop-according to the transfer bodies: FWD (2nd from the front). With our Volvo XC40 Hybrid test vehicle, we visited the Göynük Canyon, one of the most visited canyons of Antalya.

In addition, Kanyon offers the feature of being a unique place among those who love nature sports. You can perform various water sports from the canyon and participate in unique nature walks. We can say that it would be unique to walk from the canyon because it is located on the Lycian Road, one of the top 10 hiking routes in the world. The region is at the same time Beydağları Coast National Park. In short, if you visit the canyon, you can participate in many activities and get the chance to see these dazzling natural beauties closely inherited by nature. Göynük Canyon is operated by a private enterprise in nature park. You can reach the artificial pond by passing through the toll booths at the entrance of the canyon. With a unique landscape of the pond of the pond, you can reach the natural pool in the canyon on foot.

In this pool, various water sports can be performed. You can also swim in the pool. Kanyon offers the opportunity to rafting with your special child. Of course, we could not do any of this with our Volvo XC40 Hybrid vehicle. Because because we have limited time and return to Istanbul, we kept those points in our test vehicle. So, if you want to go to this beautiful unique canyon, how will you reach?

I immediately give information about him;
Kanyon is located in Göynük village of Kemer district of Antalya. Kanyon is a 45 -minute walk from Göynük village. You can access with 4 × 4 jeep safari tours and motorcycles from the village. You can also use buses belonging to Kemer Municipality. Buses are departing from Göynük village per hour. You can also access the canyon with your own vehicle. However, transportation is only up to the valley in the region. After the valley, you will need to walk a 2-3 kilometer mountain road. In this way, you can only access the canyon. If you are going to reach the canyon with your own vehicle and come by Antalya, you should enter the right after passing Beldibi and move in the direction of Beydağları. You can reach the canyon by passing through Göynük stream by Kemer. We recommend you to look at the internet before going to Kanyon because we provide information about the canyon, we do not reach the points we are talking about, and therefore do not make a special photo shoot in those parts. Now that we give the necessary information about the canyon; Let’s look at the features of our XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle, let’s examine it closely; It has a length of 4440 mm, a width of 1863 mm and a height of 1652 mm. It is easy to direct the skinless gear lever with your finger movements sitting with matte and bright surfaces. In addition, our way of return to Istanbul is a good feature for promising a safe driving while allowing us to reduce our speed in a quick-active way thanks to the gear feature that manually reduces gear.

I find this gear knob in Volvo vehicles as important as it allows me to use more serial vehicles, especially on the sharp roads with vertical. In this way, using the vehicle as a sporty as I want to find myself more energetic on the long road to maximize my efficiency. Of course, “Sports” mode is selected in the vehicle, especially on long-night journeys that prevent your sleep .. Sleep and the type of energetic usage of Volvo’nun “Harman-Cardon” sound system thanks to the very good degree of music in high levels of listened to the long way to feel energetic. The XC40 Plug-in Hybrid Chassis is designed to give you confidence; It allows you to go both in the city and on open roads and on all kinds of roads. The front suspension, which contributes to an energetic driving, has a safe and predictable driving features and well -reacting steering system, while the rear suspension contributes to safe, comfortable driving features with its advanced multi -sleeved design. Comprehensive use of light aluminum chassis sections are among the features of our XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle, which contributes to both driving comfort and agile use. The slope control controls a controlled landing on upright, corrupt and slippery roads. When it is commissioned, it helps your car descends down at a speed of 8-40 km/h by using the engine brake or if necessary; You just check the steering wheel. You can brake at any time or accelerate to set your speed if you want. Soft acceleration of slope control control makes it easier for you to take up upwards while pulling a heavy trailer or a boat on a trailer on a slope. Again, Volvo is a Volvo security that has an important place among Volvo’s security options, which effectively reduces the risk of neck injury when your car is hit from behind. In a collision, the entire front seat back and the seat title moves with the passenger to support the neck. This feature is included in our XC40 Plug-in Hybrid vehicle. According to the price, such a SUV is the best SUV for its close competitors.
