Is the XC60 a four-wheel drive vehicle?
2 Answers
The XC60 is a four-wheel drive vehicle, which means all four wheels are driving wheels. Taking the 2021 Volvo XC60 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category with the following body dimensions: length 4688mm, width 1902mm, height 1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. The 2021 Volvo XC60 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 190PS, a maximum power of 140kW, and a maximum torque of 300Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Speaking of the XC60, I'm an owner and have been driving it for almost two years. It usually comes with four-wheel drive, and Volvo's AWD system is quite common. I chose this car because my family needed it for travel, especially feeling secure during rainy or snowy days. It doesn't slip when starting, handles hills steadily, and doesn't feel too fuel-consuming for daily city driving. Some base models might be front-wheel drive, so check the model suffix or confirm with the salesperson when buying. AWD isn't magic, but it significantly improves safety and handling. I recommend prioritizing the all-wheel-drive version if you often drive on highways or rural roads. Maintenance is simple—just regular differential oil checks. I service it every 20,000 kilometers. Overall fuel consumption is only slightly higher, but compared to accident risks, this cost is well worth it. The car is reliable for family use, especially when traveling with kids—no worries on muddy roads or snowy days.
