What is the best off-road Volvo?

We want a new car but need to strike a compromise. My wife is determined to get a Volvo, and I want something I can take for a little casual off-roading. What is the best off-road Volvo?

Although it’s likely not the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of hitting the trail, the best off-road Volvo is the
Volvo XC40
. It ticks all the desirable boxes as a luxury crossover SUV, too.
The XC40 has a bit of a cult following among off-roaders, who typically opt for something a little more rugged than a
Volvo
. Here are a few things about the XC40, though, that give it off-road cred:
  • Off-road drive mode
  • 8.3-inch ground clearance
  • 221 lb-ft of low-end torque at 1,400 rpm
  • Available all-wheel drive (AWD)
If you decide to get an XC40 and take it off-roading, make sure it’s equipped with AWD and proper all-terrain tires.
