Volvo's Traction Control System (TCS) is one of the best in the industry. It can distribute the engine power between all four wheels very well in wet and slippery conditions like this.
Given one vehicle began using said parts before the other, it would grammatically and logically make sense to be that way. Thanks for the illogical input.
You've demonstrated your ignorance. This test simulates lots of possible conditions experienced when driving off-road in poor conditions to an extreme. Most modern SUVs would miserably fail such a test even many 4WD drive models.
+papucimurdari Agreed... and 2016 XC90 IIHS tests show torso injuries on side impact tests where the previous model did not... The 2016 Honda Pilot actually outscored the new 2016 Volvo XC90 on roof strength and side impact ... Disappointing...
+scleme316 roof crash is not all about roof strength. See 2003 xc90 out performing all other vehicles in actual rollover test although the roof stregnth is weaker
It proves that the traction control of the car can distribute the power well between the wheels enough to climb a wet, uneven and off-balance surface. There are plenty of offroad scenarios which this would do well in.
