Very nice video, I have one and definitely surprised me the first times I take it off road... The plastic skid plate is a little dangerous in that conditions, at least for the D5, the turbo/intercooler hose is the lowest part, so I'm planning to build or buy a metal skid plate.
@@DariusDrive I'm from Portugal, I use mine in soft sand without problems... Only wish it was possible to install some diff lockers, but so far I didn't find anything. Low gear transfer case it would be nice too... I also have a LR Discovery, and I have off-road experience. So, I can say for sure that XC90 is a a SUV with great off-road capacity, not a real off road vehicle but it surprises, I was not expecting anything like that.
Would you explain something: I am a middle eastern citizen.. so when those owner use those vehicles in those very off-road trips, do they use them again for daily life activities or they just out of service because of vehicle life expectancy? Thanks
Is the AWD on that car,allways on,or it's fwd,and when it needs traction,it distribute,power to all wheel's? I have a xc90 d5 from 2007,and i really don't know
AWD i believe only ever "drives" 2 wheels at a time, but works on the principle of a slip differential so where it senses the absence of traction it distributes a percentage of power/traction to the weakest tracking wheel,.. hence it becomes AWD if it senses that both the rear wheels are loosing purchase/grip.
Всё правильно, у нас передний привод 95% на заднюю ось 5% преднатяг. При пробуксовке передних колес, муфта Haldex блокируется и тяга идёт на задние колёса. Если этого мало на перед идёт имитация блокировки антипробуксовочной системой. По факту крутят 2 передних колеса и одно заднее-я так заметил в грязи на своей вольво
Traction ratio between the rest and front wheels is dynamic. AWD is on constantly, but the torque passed to the rear is minimal in good road conditions. Most drivers in this video floored their cars when it wasn't necessary. AWD system that's based on haldex uses available torture and is more precise if the torque is lower. The less the torque generated by the engine at given moment, the less stress and abuse goes to the haldex clutch, suspension and brakes when the AWD activates. Only if the car doesn't move forward, then give it more power, but only if it doesn't move. For the AWD in the XC90 to work correctly, the angle gearbox must be in good shape. It's shafts are weak and it's this model typical issue, due to bad design.
Where is XC90 2023? Give a chance theme,old buddies know how to explore mud and water.Give a chance younger buddies 🤣👌🤣I use to have old one,XC 90. 2.5 diesel 2006 from Hanover(German),and a same time i loose race them.Stage 5,,,up to 425hp,and you can punish anyt.👍🤣🍺 Nice powerful SUC,but you must be skilled driver to control steering wheel
Right. Im off to buy an xc90. This was all the convincing I needed
My first Volvo is a 2004 XC70 that I got for cheap. I will test it offroading first, then On To The XC90!!
wow awesome, nice video, love Volvo :)
Where from are you?

Did you end up buying a metal skid plate? Where did you get it from?
Mine has a metal skid plate over the intercooler, I thought it was standard?
So convincing Video of Volvo XC90 as a TANK ON OFFROAD😁👍💪
Volvo XC90 - under this condition? This ist species-appropriate attitude.
Greetings from a German Volvo driver
Do you have volvo?
@@DariusDrive Yes, I own a Volvo V70. By the way, you make good video content.
NIce to see some of them with off road tires. Wonder if they still have the Nivomat shocks at the back of they're already converted
Stock :)
My D5 now has 500000km driven. I am very glad with it and I wish, this is my last car. Greetings from Germany.
Super🤩
🦾🦾🦾
Nice! 🔥
I have a v8 moose for Wisconsin winters. Best investment I made.
Nice!
I have recently acquired a 2009 xc90 i cant believe i wasted a life time on expensive imitations!...My family tank lol
how has the reliability been?
I have an XC90. Where was that off road trail located?
Somewhere in latvia
Wrong. It's in Lithuania @@Syfonax
Güzel makina. Kullanmak isterim.
Joss gandoss volvo

Čia buvo 💯 👌 trasa man moteriškei 💪💪💪
Buvo pirmas kartas?
@@DariusDrive su Volvo taip 🙂
1:04 Yo is that V70 in the back gonna do the same track??
Xc70 from 2008
Hi volvo family. Which engine to go? Ehat u recommend
Model and years?
Would you explain something:

Its daily cars on regular tyres :)

Are the older XC 90’s better off roading than the newer ones?
Much better as far as I have seen! Especially compaired to the newer hybrid version
I dont know. Need to try on same tyres
Volvo 4 life
Do you have?
omg, this is so crazy!!
Fun trip :)
That frame at 0:37
Feels like Sweden invading a country with their tanks

Good music :)

@@bobbyperu8414😂😂 Not sure if you still want it but it's "Zid - Shyar", hope that helped after a year 😂
Its to bad that none of the Volvo's would pass the diagonal-test... the are better then the xc70 because have more groundclearance i guess :)
Und wie siehts mit normalen Reifen aus? So Bulldog Profil fährt im Alltag ja niemand.
Reguliar winter tyres
Why these volvo's has no AT tires at least :) so much potential lost ;)
Its dailydrive cars :)
Бедные вольвешки (они не для этого)
Indian xc90 is not this much capable.... Why this difference by volvo... We too pay money to them....

Looks like an expensive hobby, I think I will keep my front wheel drive on the tarmac..
Please, please, please DO NOT take one of these on Black Bear Pass, Colorado. You won't make it!!
Why?
