Does the Volvo XC60 have four-wheel drive?

Volvo XC60 offers four-wheel-drive models. Here is more information about the Volvo XC60: 1. The Volvo XC60 adopts a front-engine four-wheel-drive layout: The four-wheel-drive system is full-time four-wheel drive, with a multi-plate clutch central differential structure. 2. The Volvo XC60 is positioned as a midsize SUV. The four-wheel-drive system enhances the vehicle's power performance: When driving on poor road conditions, the vehicle's off-road capability is superior. The four-wheel-drive systems used in vehicles are divided into three types: full-time four-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, and on-demand four-wheel drive. 3. The Volvo XC60 uses two engines: One is a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines are equipped with direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Well, I've driven several different configurations of the Volvo XC60 and found that it indeed offers a four-wheel-drive version, mainly the AWD all-wheel-drive system. In complex road conditions such as wet or muddy surfaces, the four-wheel drive enhances traction and improves driving stability. When I test-drove it on mountain roads, the four-wheel-drive version was noticeably more stable than the front-wheel-drive one, with much less body sway during turns. However, fuel consumption is slightly higher than regular two-wheel drive, so I recommend checking the model specifications when purchasing. For example, the high-end B5 or T8 hybrid versions come standard with or offer optional four-wheel drive. Don't just rely on the salesperson's pitch; test-driving it yourself to experience the chassis response is more reliable. Volvo's safety performance has always been excellent, and with four-wheel drive, it's even safer during emergency braking. I think this is a must-have feature for urban SUVs.
