How is the off-road performance of the Volvo XC90?
1 Answers
Volvo XC90 demonstrates commendable performance in off-road capabilities. Below are the details regarding the off-road performance of the Volvo XC90: 1. Theoretical passing performance of the Volvo XC90: When unloaded, the Volvo XC90 has a minimum ground clearance of 27.5cm, which indicates a lower likelihood of scraping the chassis. Additionally, the XC90 performs well in terms of approach angle, departure angle, and ramp breakover angle, reducing the probability of scratches when traversing rough or complex terrains. 2. Locking speed and extrication capability of the Volvo XC90: The XC90 is equipped with the fifth-generation Haldex all-wheel-drive system, featuring a multi-plate clutch central differential and open differentials on both the front and rear axles. During the all-wheel-drive extrication tests, the XC90 quickly passed three relatively simple scenarios: both rear wheels with traction, both front wheels with traction, and the cross-axle situation. However, in the more challenging single-wheel extrication tests (single front wheel with traction and single rear wheel with traction), the all-wheel-drive system responded slightly slower. Specifically, it took 7 seconds to pass the test with only the single front wheel having traction. Overall, the locking and response capabilities of the all-wheel-drive system are quite good.
