Volvo XC40 R-Design AWD Diagonal test | Off Road Dynamic mode

The arrival of the XC40 means that for the first time in its history, Volvo Cars has three new, globally available SUVs in what is the fastest growing segment of the automotive market! Depending on where you live, you can for a FWD Volvo XC40 or an AWD one!
Volvo’s research into and testing of AWD systems goes back more than 20 years. The first AWD Volvo car to go into serial production was the Volvo 850 Estate, launched in May 1996! Advances in AWD technology mean that improved handling, stability and traction continue to provide a confident, agile and enjoyable driving experience while reducing fuel consumption. The Volvo XC40 AWD is a compact and lightweight coupling (BorgWarner Gen. 5) distributes the engine’s power between the front and rear wheels. Under normal, dry conditions practically all of the power is distributed to the front wheels. The system constantly calculates the need for torque to the rear wheels and can instantly redistribute up to 50 percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels. When at a standstill, a full all-wheel drive is always engaged to prepare for maximum traction during acceleration.
So check out our diagonal test of the Volvo XC40 AWD system!

This is one of the nicest looking SUVs.

[@7DMEDIA1]

I got this recently. Love everything about it.

[@jpch8814]

For the people calling this average, no way, it is above average and very solid AWD, you should check the vehicle in snow and off road, when 4 tires on the floor it is incredible.

[@keannemarkespinosa329]

I think it did quite good its just that i think it needs a bit more time for it to sense a wheel slipping before transferring power to the other wheels

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Nice design that Volvo uses on the SUVs. I couldn't help staring at the hood to door line above the fender though. This AWD would be great on pavement but eco and off-road didn't seem different.

[@audiwankenobi361]

It looks really good.

[@gabutman6144]

Plz also test the XC60

[@damiienevo4053]

Wow it did great

[@franklynvilla2614]

Not to bad

[@BunderaKZT]

*too

[@Steven-gv1ke]

Please test the new Subaru Ascent on the diagonal test!

[@FUELEDNOVA718]

I like how the right & left fog lights turn on & off automatically when turning the wheel right or left. 3:15

[@sanojkumarsamal8208]

The feature name is active bending

[@Ktheodoss]

I thought the car did relatively well.

[@Colin623]

It did pretty well, considering it probably got normal road tyres ! if it all terrain tyres then I'm sure it would do better, but at the end of the day, it wasn't defeated by any of the challenges, so it's a pass.

[@ejf0255]

Steal a Tiguan !!! Please. Love these tests. I want to see how mine will do (without killing well mine!) LoL

[@jpch8814]

Tiguan uses the same All wheel drive as Volvo (Haldex gen 5) so it will perform similar which is very good.

[@filfiliano]

Can you please do a GMC TERRAIN 2018 AWD test

[@mohamedeita8152]

What about reliability and dependability? Please advice

[@roypark5363]

Where is the Care by Volvo subscription in Canada

[@ClyntonVDB]

The name of your channel is quite appropriate because you created more questions than answers. There was no context to explain what was happening in your video.

[@CarQuestion]

Then Ask them instead of asking nothing in your comments!

[@hugod2385]

I don't want this man's used car!!

[@CarQuestion]

cry me a river, that's not even abusing it!

[@motormusique]

Kind of a struggle but it makes it.

[@lilpeppa117G]

nissian rogue please'

[@jonathans4503]

No such car exists

[@lilpeppa117G]

Jonathan S shut up

[@jonathans4503]

@@lilpeppa117G(Nissian rouge) - >(Nissian rogue) You edited but still wrong. Being butthurt is fine but you just look like an idiot now. You need to edit again lol.

[@BBlackmen]

Great video I feel a jeep renegade would have done that test better looks like the all wheel drive to a minute a minute to find itself

[@iggibars]

I hate this "premiers" shit that takes up space on my youtube homepage and search feed, yet doesn't let me watch it!

[@nerbur]

Agree with average. Not nearly as competent as then RDX.

[@BriansRCStuff]

Yeah, about as good as the MDX....

[@normt5463]

@@BriansRCStuff had similar 6-7 roatations like the RDX of the front tire. Though the XC40 did spin the rear more it might have more rearward bias than the Acura. GM Twin Clutch would do this about one revolution or less as it does on the thre rollers on an incline.

[@maxwellemmanuel837]

Average...

[@dimekoza]

For a premium (expensive) SUV, it's not very promising. RDX and X1 were much better. This is CX-5, CR-V level which are pretty much half the price.

[@normt5463]

RDX spun its front tire 6-7 times also. Seems to depend on load the operator place on the throttle as if the speed was to go faster than the wheel in the air would spin even more.

[@ericpullen3717]

Ha Kia sorento did much better 😎
