Haldex 3 AWD system
Traction control ON for the entire video
I am actually pretty impressed with the FWD-based Haldex 3 AWD on this thing! This is the first time I’ve ever done anything “serious” with the XC90 V8. The slope was about ~35° on both sides with a ditch in the middle, slippery grass, etc. I was honestly expecting it to get stuck as I don’t have LSDs, locking differentials, or any other off-road technology. I think the Haldex 3 system is even too early for the brake-torque vectoring (Haldex 4 I think). The AWD system uses a Haldex clutch that controls the rear differential when the car detects the front wheels slipping, though it sends 95% of the power to the front and about 5% of the power to the rear from a stop unless circumstances dictate more traction. I wish it could shift power from side to side, but this is an older “AWD” system and for its age, it did remarkably well. Would I take it on a crazy off-road course? No. Would I like to take it to some sort of testing area to see what It can do? Absolutely.
I love my Volvo 😁
This is why I always have said the XC90 needed the V8 standard. Even the T6 would struggle at times. The XC90 is such a heavy tank and you can see that the power of the V8 allowed the haldex 3 to really operate at its peak.
It has always felt pretty capable. Granted, I’ve never really pushed the limits of the car and don’t intend to. It is quite a heavy car and feels very solid. The V8 engine does seem to help the Haldex 3 system feel more robust
its not so heavy actually, far from a tank. About 400-500kg more than a golf 4. But a tank is about 60 tons lol.
@@redpepper007 smart man..
T6 is actually stronger than v8. Ith has less hp (304 vs 315) but acceleration times and overal dynamic is better in t6.

Haldex 3 is proactive whereas Haldex 2 is reactive. This is why Haldex 3 is superior and is more reliable because it is already prepared for the loss of traction
Agreed. Haldex 3 was the first proactive system, but Haldex 4 is better. Sadly they didn’t offer Haldex 5 on the P2 XC90 as it was retired in 2014 and kept the earlier Haldex 4 system found on MY09-14 XC90s
@@theKnightDesign Yeah I do agree Haldex 5 would be great on my R if I could do it. Dreading fluid, filter, and pump change on the ol Haldex 3.
@@clonetrooper576 it’s horrendous to do on the XC90s.
@@theKnightDesign Ill bet. But at least the xc90 is higher in the air. The R is so low i really want a lift
V8 Viking is an awesome front plate haha
Великолепно!!!
I love this V8 but I'm not impressed by the offroad capabilities of this XC90... I owned a Range Rover 1986 (from 1986 to 1996) and I was able to climb incredible steep slopes with the automatic gearbox (4 speed ZF) and the low range engaged.
Tyres were the ordinary M+S (Mud and Snow) fitted on commercial vans.
Yokohama Geolandar AT, goes from struggle to easy
What color is that on the Volvo?
how this isnt diff lock?
I wonder how my V90CC would fair going through this spot. Seemed like a lot of wheel spin on the XC90.
Your V90CC would probably chair better due to Volvo’s addition of better traction control software for Haldex 4 and 5. I don’t have brake-based torque vectoring with the Haldex 3 system, though the XC90 has better approach, departure, and break-over angles as well as more ground clearance.
what wheels are those? they're super good looking
never mind, just saw your replies on another video. thanks!
Hah, okay, cool! But just in case, they’re 20” TSW Rivages.
with those wheels you gonna climb mountain everrest
Scared to damage them, I’d probably put some off-road KO2s on my Atlantis rims
That's actually really bad 4wd.. My back wheel driven car would even climb that better
Now do it when it’s muddy or snowing 😂

Big Volvo fan here and I do like your XC 90 but your mom and dad are going to be mad as hell you messed up their ditch
Does 2007 2.4 d5 xc90 has haldex 3? How can we check? Nice test btw thanks 😊
I believe it does, yes. 03-05 had Haldex 2, 2006-2008 had Halex 3, and 09-14 had Haldex 4, but the 05+ V8s had Haldex 3 or 4.
@@theKnightDesign thanks for your reply 😊
Woah! Kinda this car is super powerfull! ❤
The yamaha v8 is durable but, extremely expensive to repair. Example, $3500 for a starter replacement. Other repairs require the removal of the motor. The shop i use is independent, but the mechanics are volvo trained , they will not work on the V8.
Guess it depends. I had a new genuine starter fitted to my V8 and it was $700au plus fitting. Had the plugs and rocker gaskets done at the same time. I did a fuel pressure regulator, cost me $40 for a oem one. So I think you may be getting ripped off
Some all terrain tires would do you much better buddy
👍🇺🇦
Volvo has the worst 4WD among cars. O, no! The worst 4WD has Nissan. Volvo has the second worst 4WD since the end
Volvo doesn’t make Haldex. It’s used in a lot of cars like Audi and Vw.
Don’t think there is much diff
@@pgreenxThere'S 2 diffs......lol
@@GTX1000000 actually only one diff in rear and a transfer case/angle gear in front. Check it out.
У меня такой же цвет
Nice car, but damn that awd system struggles. How's the reliability with the v8?
It does pretty well considering it’s not a full-time AWD system. The V8 is proving to be very reliable and does decently well on gasoline.
Also those don't seem like super duper great offroad tires. A solid tire upgrade would help a lot
@@theKnightDesign engine is a Yamaha v8 and is super reliable so the transmission will go before the engine and the awd system is great that was with a wheel on each side in the air which most suvs will struggle with but it’s a tank in even 2 feet of snow or any low traction situations
The best!
Toyota corolla be able for that 🤣🤣
Not sure if I should be impressed cause my lifted 01 v70xc can do this with Visco.
