Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:Both vehicles tested have all-season tires and all-wheel-drive systems. The Volvo XC40 Recharge was tested first in off-road mode. Gentle use of the gas pedal makes the vehicle easily get to the top of the hill. Pressing the gas pedal hard makes the ascent much more challenging. The Toyota Rav4 XSE has a snow mode. Snow mode makes it easier for the Rav4 to make it up the hill gently, but driving too aggressively caused a problem to start the uphill drive. The ravine could also make it up in rock and dirt mode. When driven in a slow, gentle manner, both vehicles in this video were able to make it to the top. A lot depends on the amount of snow, the incline of the hill, and the driving style chosen by the driver. It is still strongly recommended to use winter tires.
