bear with me.

Do all xc90's come with the AWD system as standard? About to buy a 2005/05 reg and just want to make sure it has the AWD system

thanks

All XC90 models leave the factory as 4WD.

No such thing as a "daft question" if we dont ask we dont learn.They all have AWD when they leave the factory but as we know it doesant always last long.

All uk xc90s are AWD. There is an issue of failing rear drive on older models. Some us models for example are fwd.

Thats where I heard it. 2.5T FWD in US.

..yep UK - only AWD available then - certainly 2005 MY's (if it's not broke !). I do believe it's only the XC60 that comes with a FWD option in the UK to help meet the CO2 challenges.

thank you to all your replys much appreciated.

just now need to make sure the xc90 I buy has fully working awd as dont want to face a hefty bill a few months down the line.

thanks again

There are a few FWD XC90's in the UK. I don't know how many though. I think they are all early models. Plus the new 2011 D3 FWD XC90
