You must have had terrible tyres on it.

I've had 50+ cars with 4wd (only 4 or 5 offroaders) and the mechanical 4x4 system has been pretty much unstoppable in all the Subarus I've driven on road or lane.

I had a loan car bog standard 2.0 Impreza during a dumping of snow about 10 years ago while my Classic Impreza Turbo was in for work. I actually deliberately drove it with the nearside wheels in piled up snow to see if I could break traction.

The Forester with another 2-3 inches of ground clearance but identical 4wd system, would probably have suited you better !

The Press Release...

A statement issued by the brand said: "We're rapidly transforming our product offer, which means not only moving towards full electrification but also shifting to new platforms and technologies across all our cars.
"We will naturally need to evolve and consolidate our line-up as we prioritise fully electric cars and make this technological transition. As a result, and based on existing orders and available production for the UK market, plug-in hybrid versions of the XC40 Recharge, along with all V60 Cross Country, V90 Cross Country and S90 variants, have been removed from the UK line-up.”
The Volvo XC40 will remain available with the B3 and B4 mild-hybrid petrol engines, alongside the Recharge pure electric models. The T4 and T5 plug-in hybrids will no longer be available.
