The XC60 is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive. As an experienced driver who has been driving for many years, I find this car very stable on highways or slippery roads. Its four-wheel drive is always engaged, unlike on-demand four-wheel drive that only activates when slipping occurs. Therefore, I feel particularly confident driving in rain or snow, as the tires have strong grip and don't slip during turns. The fuel consumption is slightly higher, about half a liter more per 100 kilometers, but it's worth it for the safety. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring regular checks of the engine oil and transmission system, which doesn't affect usability. I recommend it for those who often drive in variable weather conditions—it's highly reliable and worry-free for long trips. Overall, the full-time four-wheel drive makes driving more controllable and reduces the risk of accidents.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the XC60's four-wheel drive system. It features full-time AWD that constantly distributes power to all wheels, instantly responding to road conditions. This is far superior to on-demand AWD systems that only engage when needed. During my rainy day tests, the handling was agile with smooth cornering entry and exit, showing no lag. The system, called Haldex, intelligently adjusts power distribution to enhance performance. While it slightly increases fuel consumption, the trade-off is driving pleasure - it handles rough terrain with ease. I've also watched review videos showing how full-time AWD provides greater stability at high speeds, reducing the risk of fishtailing. In short, choosing it means being ready for all-weather adventures, making driving more exciting.

For my daily driving, I prefer practical features. The XC60 comes with full-time four-wheel drive, which is always engaged, unlike on-demand four-wheel drive that activates temporarily. This makes driving in rainy conditions or on rough roads more stable and safer. There are no special maintenance requirements—just regular oil changes. The fuel consumption is slightly higher, but it's worth it. Using this car for commuting is hassle-free and requires minimal fuss.

What gear should an automatic car be in when parked?

An automatic car should be put in P (Park) gear when parked. The correct procedure for parking an automatic car is: after the car is in the parking position, hold the brake and shift to N (Neutral) gear, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake and then turn off the engine, finally shift to P gear and remove the key. Automatic transmissions have two gears for parking: P and N. From the perspective of the transmission structure, both gears can be used for long-term parking. The actual difference between P and N gears is the locking mechanism of the pawl and ratchet system. As long as the key can be inserted and removed and the engine can be started in neutral, there is no problem. To park securely, just tighten the handbrake.
