They aren’t exactly off-road machines, but they are still very good.
These models are not designed for off-road use, but they have the potential to be driven on paved roads. Carwow wanted a test to determine which model could perform well off-road. They put them up against each other in six challenges to find the “ultimate family car off-roader.” These three luxury crossovers look very different, despite being very similar in their overall formulas. The X3 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine that’s supported by an electric motor. It produces a peak output 292 horsepower (218 kilowatts), and 310 pound-feet (402 Newton-meters) of torque.
The XC60 uses a 2.0-liter turbodiesel mated with an automatic gearbox to send 197 hp (175 kW) and 310 lb/ft (420 Nm), respectively, to all four wheels. The Ingolstadt contender is powered by a turbo-gas engine of 2.0-liter capacity, which produces 265 horsepower (198 kW) as well as 273 lbft (370Nm). At 4,387 lbs (1.990 kg), the Bimmer is the largest of the three, compared to the Audi and Volvo’s 4,189 lbs (1.900 kg).
It is obvious that power is not everything in drag racing, especially when the racers are going uphill or off-road. Here are the factors that determine the race: Traction, power delivery between wheels, weight distribution and many more. We won’t spoil the race so make sure to take a look at this video at the top of the page to see which model is the most efficient in these conditions.
