xc60 off road

How good is the xc60 off road?
I need to drive along a loose shingle bank bank.
Will the xc60 be ok?

The AWD one? It is no real off roader, although fine in general use when things get a bit slippy, if you have the right tyres. Avoid Pirelli at all cost!

I assume we are talking about the AWD version. It should cope fine (as long as you have the right tyres on) as volvorocks says avoid Pirelli.

Mine takes to the brown stuff and green stuff on a regular basis. never had any issues. car isn't designed to go miles and miles off road but it is great for light off road and a blast on road

Many thanks.
I have still got the origonal Pirellis on the back but Goodyear wranglers on the front. I will be going over loose shingle.
