2 Answers
The four-wheel-drive version of the XC60 is equipped with a genuine full-time four-wheel-drive system. Below is some relevant information about the XC60:1. Body dimensions: The XC60 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the Volvo brand. The length, width, and height of this vehicle are 4688mm, 1902mm, and 1658mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2865mm.2. Engine: The XC60 utilizes two types of engines in total, one being a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other being a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5000 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1700 to 4000 rpm.
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.
