A 1.5L with 127 BHP SUV struggles to get up hills. Wow who’d have thought eh
I would have, based on previous car experience. I had a VW Polo with 3 cylinder 1L engine and 90 BHP that felt like struggling on steep inclines. Now the Polo was only 1050 kg, whereas T4 Recharge is 1870 kg. The OP mentioned coming from XC90 D5, that car has 235 BHP and 2180 kg, so no wonder he feels less powerful the 127 BHP and 1870 kg setup…
