So, now I have them also behind mr – the test drive in the V8. Besides expected shadow sides (about 3l more fuel consumption compared to my small hand switched gasoline) and expected sun sides (the 100 hp more fun) there was also unexpected. Unexpectedly great, the sovereignty was at 50% gradients. Where my 2.5T moans and the Geartronic of the soot particle fraction gives severe odors of heated oil, this car ran untorted with less than 2000 revolutions/min lightly feet up the mountain (This configuration of an XC 90 does not need any understatement!!!). Whether the 6 gear automatic, the large engine or just instant traction is responsible for this, I don’t know. Was in any case classes better compared to other XC 90 models. Unexpectedly was the switching behavior of the 6 gear automatic beyond the 50km/h?
