Why does a Volvo XC 90 have AWD?
The rear drive shaft incorporates a viscous coupling (Haldex on the new XC-90) and as long as front and rear axles rotate at the same speed the coupling unit would remain inactive and the rear tires receive no torque – they are just rolling along.
Why does Volvo claim to have AWD even though only the front?
All 4 wheels get power all the time. Volvo PR did not lie – it is full time AWD. However, a power distribution of 95/5 makes for very insufficient traction use. The front axle is very likely to start spinning with the slightest change of traction. A power split of about 50/50 guarantees the safest use of available traction.
