Great video! I been working with the development of previous generations of these systems at Volvo Cars R&D division in Gothenburg. You need to use throttle to make this system work at is best! It is a Haldex coupling system that needs to build up pressure to engage properly. This is done by speed from the drive shaft. The more throttle you use the quicker this will happen and high torque will be distributed to the rear. So it is not actually struggling when hesitating, it is only building up pressure to engage the coupling. Today the fifth generation of Haldex system is used and they have become much faster and gives better torque output for each generation. Step on it and the Haldex will solve the rest for you! Again, great video!

just bought a xc60 t5 without the premium package (no driver assistance) and i love the car to death. Favorite part is probably the luxury interior, headlights and how nice is it to drive on the highway. I had a 2012 s60 t5 and i was getting tired of it. Test drove the xc60 and im in love. Volvo is really heading in the right direction and is beating all the german companies in my opinion.

Viscous coupling/ open diff is perfectly fine for driving normally and can take you anywhere you need to go but when I actually go rallying on dirt or in deep snow it's less than desirable lol. It's fun to fish tail and drift down the forest roads but it's way too easy to lose control when you are going fast and pushing the car.

I'm ready for automated cars, I believe the technology is there, it just needs more refinement and experience. I love to drive and have been a 'save the manual' driver, but I drive on average between 4 and 5 thousand miles a month. I'd love for a car to guide me on the boring bits and let me take the wheel on twisty bits of fun roads. I'd also love to know the people that text and drive, eat and drive, put laptop with movies on dashboard and drive(I see it alot, seriously?), are being driven safely for everyone's benefit. I have a new and reasonably fun and practical GTI now, I'm hoping it will hold out long enough for another jump in automation with legislative hurdles somewhat more defined.

For the most part I really like the videos that these guys do.... However it amazes me how little they know about AWD systems in particular ones that are used on cars like the Volvo. These systems are very dependent on MORE power being applied when the tires start to spin. I know that seems counter intuitive to give more power to the tires when they are slipping, but really thats how these systems function. You can even see this in the video, yes it gets stuck, but once he gets into the throttle hard the AWD kicks in shifts the power to the correct tires and it pulls out of the whole.

As much as I love volvo, and have been driving volvo for the past 15 years. I will not be buying the new models. We have 2 volvo's in the family a 2004 V70 T5 AWD (it is very rare) and a normal XC70 from 2005. Those cars are solid. You can really tell that they were made to last. Sure they lack all the electronics and gimmics compared to the new ones - but let me be clear - Cars are made for driving, they are not supposed to be a gadget and more importantly - Volvo are infamous for having their electronics go wrong after 5 or so years. Me and my wife went in the new v90XC and neither one of us liked the interior. The leather quality felt somewhat cheap, the plastics were had, the seats them selves were not as comfortable as I have come to expect. Really, if you want to sit in a real volvo, go and find one pre 2005. If its been kept well and looked after then that thing has so many more miles to do. The new ones feel like a toy - like something you may use for 5 years and then chuck it in the bin. Whereas the old ones feel like they were made to last 20 years if you cared for them. Anyhow, we decided against buying a new one, since our old ones are still running great even though the miles are stacking up now.
