I don't agree with the test just 100% useless. They steering the BMW and Audi wheel right and left with speed initialyy to go all the top of the hill, but they didn't push Lexus and nissan so hard on the hill. THAT JUST TO promote AUDI SALES:) IF YOU GIVE ME CAR I WOULD HAVE PUSHED THE NISSAN or LEXUS ON TOP. It totally depend on the driver skills how they can go UP and curve the car to its best way.
if this was a fair test and the driver in the nissan patrol was any good, the nissan patrol would clearly have won this, its the only true off roader in the test.
The Driver STOPS the Nissan Patrol while rolling! This test is ridiculous! In german tests (tv, magazines...) german cars mostly win against foreign ones. it's just what Germans want to see and what sells cars, so most germans don't even realize how unrealistic some tests are. e.g. why do they compare sedans, station wagons and suvs in one test? and why don't they mention the price of the cars? for most people that would be an important criterion...
Take a Subaru Outback ! He won the Autobild Allrad test, with the best 4WD system against X3 and Audi Q7 3.0 TDI. And all on the Same tires. And the Q7 system is better than the one from the A6 allroad.
I don't believe for a minute, that the Mitsubishi 4x4 stopped where it did - It has low range and diff lock!!! something none of the others have. My missus drives an A4 quattro; it's pretty good but I've had to pull it out 4 times this year so far in my Pathfinder, because of all the snow in the northeast.
ponsculey - really? you have to tow the A4? Is it in on bald summer tires. I've driven around in all the NY snowstorms in a A4 on 18" all-seasons and the car has only even slipped twice (traction control came on) twice. It's never gotten close to getting stuck!! SUV's can be good off-road but not necessarily in snow. The SUV I formerly drove would slide around and in trace snow the traction control would come on.
lol Florida, im not from Florida, we just got 2 feet of snow the other day i live in Mass, and it just looks like the audi was goin faster than the others, theres no doubt audis are great in snow tho becausae my dad has a 2008 A6 and its wonderful in snow, it just looks like the audi is goin faster, idk
educate dummy....educate. hitting the brakes while loosing traction helps all four tires lock and spin together. Dont waste breath or time unless you know what youre talking about.
tires are all that matters, put a FWD with snow tires up with an AWD with all season tires and it will out accelerate and out brake it.
they should have another test with newer technologies like Acura SH-AWD, Bmw's new x-drive, and all the other competitors which have improved their systems over the years.
to your first statement... this is true about FWD being better than AWD with proper tires... but if you put the same tires on AWD it would surpass the FWD car by far
I would like to see a newer comparison of the awd systems, but in the end, wether its the best or not, audis quattro is still very good
It looked like the driver wasn't really trying on all the cars except in the Audi.
The BMW X5 could have made it, it's just that maybe they were using a 3.0si instead of a 4.8i and 90 horsepower added along with more torque than horsepower on the 4.8i, that can really make a difference.
HAHAHA i own an 03' allroad apr tuned 93 octane....i just drove through 1.5 ft of snow through utah on switchbacks going uphill...i passed two jeeps that got stuck...the end of the vid just adds to the awsomeness of the ALLROAD!!! sick
yes way! Volvos awd i quite good actually. Its the front wheel drive - versions that are crap. Just like audis fwd versions. Volvas cross country is like audis all road - a little bit higher but still not heavy and pointless like a suv
Some of them hit the breaks because that is how they engage the differential to distribute power... it simulates traction on tires with no grip and keeps all four tires turning
My 1990 Pathy would have owned this test big time were she in good shape... my motors kind of botched at the moment... nearly 20 years old she is
moe182 - you are right that a Subaru probably could. But the person who can afford that Audi are most likely not considering buying a Subaru. They are in different classes.
some got more speed at the bottom cuz it had more traction compare to the others.. but still it seemed to be an unfair test.. some of them just hit the brakes even tho they were still moving up lol
this test didn't look fare. Some cars picked up more speed at the bottom of the hill than others - for example the 1st car, BMW sedan, started very slow, quickly lost momentum and stuck.
The only fair test is to have all cars equipeed with the same tires. If they were all eqipped with a premium snow tire like the Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi, I bet they'd all get up that hill.
Fair or not Audi has ONE of the best awd systems / subaru too :D
