Can the Volvo XC90 also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this question the car must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a towing capacity of 2700 kg, the Volvo XC90 is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.
torque affects the Volvo XC90 how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this car distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer coupling and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the Volvo XC90 suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle pulls ordinary 2700 kg . The feed is provided by the torque of 500 Nm. The Volvo XC90 is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
