Small experience about the terrain suitability of the XC70, since this property is usually discussed here…. I tried to explore a few dirt roads again today, so I drive the gravel path long, and turn off on a really muddy dirt road which was more field than away. At first it went quite nicely, the mud splashed, that grins became wider, until the ground then became even softer. then came a bend, with rather deep tractor tracks, and I didn’t want to go through it at first, and went into a meadow/field to turn around… 1. error, because the meadow was so soft that almost nothing went on anymore. especially not turn around… after some I decided to drive through the traktorfurchen after all. so with full gas through the meadow and up to the field path… and it was… only that it went right behind the bend up a hill… so further full gas and through the mud… got stuck again (after the again n’piece back and with full throttle and 1st walk manually (oh yes I drive automatic) the mountain up… went wonderful, although it was always muddy, and the mudbroken already hung on the disk. until I then stuck about 15m before the seemingly redeeming dome (after that went downhill on dryer and gravely ground) again … so back about 200 m, to the place where I was stuck. shortly before the already mentioned tractor tracks, are I slipped the front tires away, and I had the rear tires on the dirt road, and hung in front in the meadow…. super…backward back to the road didn’t go… what to do, farmers and tractor would have been quite embarrassing to me… so I was forward the dirt road down to the meadow, there first nice gas given and swing to get to turn, then went also, only I had to áuf the slightly higher dirt road again… the only solution was to come up there with full gas trying and it worked out, only I thought that I could dig my rear axle out of the mud… and so I and xc70 got totally dirty back home.. I still don’t know where the limits are now, but I know that this fun three hours car cleaning, of which almost two hours only washes down mud, cost me…. but in any case recommended for everyone to imitate (excluded jegl. liability!!) too good decision I’m still enthusiastic about rter of my car, and can say that the awd is great.
