Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - AWD (all-wheel-drive) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
Kia Sorento has 4x4: Engine power is automatically (without driver intervention) distributed among the wheels based on conditions using a hydraulic multi-disc clutch, viscous clutch, or similar traction control device. Some systems allow locking of multi-disc clutch manually for permanent all wheel drive. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 185 mm (7.3 inches) | 230 mm (9.1 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Volvo XC60 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps.

Note, however, that this Volvo XC60 version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from seven 4x4 versions of Volvo XC60 2013 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
