Xdrive vs Quattro vs 4matic

[dedek05]

fuck don't cough! my ears are exploding

[MetaView7]

subaru can do this years ago

[kuci52]

what a shit

[kanneebannee]

Now, try on ice!

[dasautomega]

XDRIVE ADVERT. how come its only the BMW with its system advert all up in your faces?

[therealalexrider]

Even though I am a Mercedes fan more than I am an Audi fan, I must say that quattro is the best, you can tell that they tried to make Audi seem the worst by fitting the smallest profile tires that you can get on a q5, which are a lot lower profile than the ones on the other two and not testing fairly, shame on BMW.

[jonnyroy]

The difference is center differential. The Q7 has an LSD center diff, it needs wheel speed difference to transfer power back. The other two have electronic locking diffs using ABS systems. In this test Audi looks bad but in real world computers cannot understand everything that happens every second on the slippery stuff. Mechanical diffs for the win.

[obsessedwithmuscle]

@jonnyroy Q5

[domagoj89]

bmw transfers power the fastest of three, but does not mean anything in real world.

[konjo031]

Fake & Gay. It is sad, that BMW must cheat, to advertise the X-drive. I know, that x-drive and 4-matic are good, but so is quattro :D

[hdce224]

1. 4 Matic

2. Quattro & Xdrive

[SelGTE]

Who does not know what a clutch on an Audi may even write nothing ... This is not an electronic braking system, a mechanical connection! In harsh environments where electrical fails, Audi will drive by and laugh)

[Suppeneintopf14]

leute es geht darum, dass die kraft an die hinterräder verteilt wird und das schafft nur der bmw!!!

[apolloclub]

Audi loser!!!! BWM and Mercedes are the best!!!

[localfishinghole]

A couple of points I would make. xDrive is an excellant system that has proven itself. The Audi Quattro is extremely effective however and it is obvious this video set up the Quattro for failure, the vehicle was proceeding up the ramp but the driver halted the progress. The xDrive doesn't need that kind of advantage. Both systems work well... both systems will routinely pass my Subaru on a snowpack road unless the snow gets deep. So do you want a BMW or Audi, eiher is a good choice.

[Niercaaa]

They just wanna see which 4 wheel drive system to copy :)

[Truemoderate]

Why is my computers online bullsh!t meter going nuts?!

[tjohanson]

Real world off-road. This is FAAARRRR from it.

[ltrebl]

The test was to see how easily each car can get up the ramp from a dead stop on the rollers. Which obviously the BMW won...ha.ha.

[rok169]

SUBARU ALL DAY!!!

[75cyber75]

the band of the audi are summer bands ?? wtff

[Lavdr1m]

BMWWWW

[ozicoke]

what a silly test :) haha, subaru smiling

[kay19833]

as usual audi is a spectator! BMW and Benz are the athletes! i mean this huge fugly thing is the ugliest thing that grace the earth!

[8150shaf]

@kay19833 I think that's unfair, I admit that this Audi does look quite nice...

But MERCEDES ALL THE WAY

[TreeWorm]

Subaru all the way!

[jjarvela]

I think that those are not japanese...more like korean

[Techreviews011]

@jjarvela they are korean(me too)

[GodlessMartyr666]

p.s. I laugh when I see these japanese are scared to scratch the vehicles so they use plastic wrap to avoid friction contact , I guess these are rented or borrowed vehicles...

[Techreviews011]

@GodlessMartyr666 they are korean

[GodlessMartyr666]

@Techreviews011 w.e when there is an area of this planet with 2+ billion dark haired asians, Im bound to get them confused on occaision...

[Drd4all]

I don't see anything wrong with either car, just because they work in different ways doesn't mean one is inferior to the other. After all, all 3 got over the rollers.

[cardude1992]

that could be done in rwd lol

[Nystromj1]

I wouldn't trust any of these all wheel drive comparisons ... anytime you set up anything other than 'real' life, the results are subject to manipulation ... it is all about which auto manufacturer paid for the test .. even if it was a backdoor pay off! Take these cars out into the real world on a real winding road, and on real snow and ice ... then do a test .. and don't forget the drives ... they have a lot to do with it as well!

[EritreanKing007]

They dont know how to drive, plz come on to Switzerland or Germany :)

[Windows7kicksass]

These types of videos really piss me off. Being funded by BMW, they make it so their car wins. Ug.

[bimmmmmmi]

what the fuck do those guys know about driving? GOD, its fucking ridiculous.

[Playboy323ti]

Audi is shit lol!!!

[sebtout88]

@Playboy323ti your shit you fuck up

[Nbuilder1]

Audi introduced the Quattro in 1980 the rest is history. Audi is a pioneer the rest of the manufacturers just try to get into what works Quattro works up until a few yrs ago BMW nor Mercedes had all wheel drive in they're cars. 

[iggibars]

@Nbuilder1 What? BMW and Mercedes both had their own AWD system for a LOT longer than "until a few yrs ago!"

[Nbuilder1]

@iggibars

True but they don't have a full line of cars that they all have awd in the U.S.

[hiddentruth95]

audi is still the best

[flavius22]

be honest, quatro is old

[Nbuilder1]

@flavius22

Looks like you never drove and Audi. The Quattro might be old but it works why change something that works. It can always be duplicated but never imitated. All other car manufactures have jumped on the band wagon for awd Lexus, Infinity etc.

[TonyStark1001]

Learn how to drive an Audi ;)

[Pioneer53]

@TonyStark1001

You don't need to learn something about driving an Audi. Its nothing special.

[fnjeep314]

This video it total crap. Why does the driver of the Q5 stop giving it gas when it actually starts to go up the rollers? One also has to think that the Q5 runs a EDL rear diff and as Audi describes as "Self-locking differential providing automatic and variable front to rear power proportioning", not a Torsen diff. BMW tries really hard to try and discredit Quattro, but I guess when your on top, everyone is after you!! Its always best to stick with the original, Audi!!

[203132]

@fnjeep314

He went over the rollers....but he stopped because he put a lot of power...and if he kept going....off he goes...

[xCobi]

@fnjeep314 search more vids - quattro vs xdrive u will see audi isnt on the top

[sirtubemaster]

@fnjeep314 From what i see; the car starts moving sideways towards driver side and was being cautious as to not pop over the side and wreck something

[shervin07]

@fnjeep314 he stops gassing cuz they just want to see it pass the rollers not fucking climb the thing, and how is this a bmw video,,

[GodlessMartyr666]

@fnjeep314 quattro is the best between the germans but I would say the new jeep Quadra-drive 2 system with quadra-lift beats all 3 @ this point. The new grand cherokee is unstoppable. ( yes I realise it is ML-class based chassis but the drive system is still GM / JEEP )

[Neutrinoghost]

@fnjeep314 He keeps stopping to demonstraight how effective and fast the power transfer is from the front to the rear wheels. I don't see the problem.

[nucera91]

Go watch this!

Audi Quattro and BMW Xdrive snow test

[kaan898]

oooooaaaahhhh!!!

[peksikici]

are they from kia oder hyundai ?

[craiglinkers1]

SUBY

[biturboquattro]

this shows how works classic differential - power goes to wheels that are spinning (audi, mercedes)

I don't know if bmw uses limited slip differential or this is electronic system help, anyone knows?

[BabkenBMW]

One more testimony to BMW's superiority over its competitors

[TheLocalNut]

ive actually seen 2 videos now where audis quattro doesnt perform as well.... hmm

[audi4quattro]

They are Korean.

I am Japanese.

Quattro is the best!

[BrandnewdayXY]

135 people than thumbs up have Korean cars buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[LukiXS2]

why does that audi just looks so much better?

btw. everyone knows, that quattro gives the power to the wheels which are not spinning.

no other result was possible...there is "xDrive" on the ramp : P

[NarishmaJr]

@LukiXS2 No, the quattro system gives ALL the power to the wheels that ARE spinning, meaning the car wont move.

If I had to buy one of these cars, id probably go for the Mercedes, and the BMW as a second choice. (less stuff to go wrong in the merc)

[LukiXS2]

@NarishmaJr

/watch?v=So2zQfbd-hQ (its german, but i think if you don't understand the video explaines itself)

BUT, WHY are you talking shit?

[MrLowAltitude]

@NarishmaJr Wrong!

Audi uses the Torsen center differential. This is a pure mechanical, friction based self locking diff. It has a torque bias ratio of 3:1. This means, it is able to send 75% of the power to the axle that has better traction. It's also faster than any electronic controlled system. But: It always needs a little torque, to lock properly because its mechanical. No torque = No friction = No lock!

This test on rollers is pretty stupid and doesn't show reality.

[NarishmaJr]

@MrLowAltitude Yeah thats pretty much exactly what I said..

[MrLowAltitude]

@NarishmaJr I don't think so...

You said: "the quattro system gives ALL the power to the wheels that ARE spinning, meaning the car wont move."

Which is wrong in my opinion. It only sends the power to the wheels that are spinnig if they have no traction at all. If there's little traction which results in torque in the drivetrain, the torsen will lock and send the power to the wheels that are NOT spinning.

But: Stupid roller tests like this don't say much anyway...

[NarishmaJr]

@MrLowAltitude Yes, I guess I didnt explain it good enough. But what you wrote is pretty much what I meant to say.

[MrLowAltitude]

@NarishmaJr So it's not wrong to say that the Quattro AWD system has less stuff to go wrong and is faster than nearly any other AWD system. It just has the disadvantage which you can see in this video.

If the driver knew how to drive a quattro, he would push the brakes slightly and off he goes! By applying brakes slightly, the torsen would lock.

[NarishmaJr]

@MrLowAltitude Indeed, the reason I chose the merc and the bimmer over the audi is because im not a big fan of audis.

I would much rather have subarus awd system over any of these.

And as a small side-note, this test isnt that bad. This is pretty much what it looks like when you get stuck in snow/mud.

[MrLowAltitude]

@NarishmaJr Todays cars of this class are all very similar anyways I think. So everyone should drive what he likes. I currently drive a very old Audi and it's the best, most reliable car I've driven until now. My next one will be an Audi too I think. Not because I think they are way better than others but just because I like them ;)

Well... Why don't you just buy a Subaru? They are very good cars too.

[NarishmaJr]

@MrLowAltitude Because I love my 7series ;) :p

[Benzfever]

Japanese cars are not korean cars! The contrary, Kia hired a Audi ex-designer... uneducated moron yourself

[Benzfever]

Korean cars! Hyundai and Kia! WOW... Disposable piece of shit cars

[xray707]

This was not a good test. The grade was too steep. Would need old fashioned locking differential, or something to get significant torque to the rear.

[Atli1955]

guess bmw wins again...

[omarspence]

All crossovers are rubbish if you ask me. If you want four wheel drive get a proper 4x4 and some accessories for what they overcharge for one of these.

[szara1976]

X Drive WIN !!!!

[Flipster1325]

the audi didn't even have the ground clearance to get on the ramp. their all rear based awd / 4wd and with enough gas I'm sure they would make it up the ramp

[cIoCoLaTiNoKP]

what do koreans know....they think hyundai is the pinnacle of car ingeneering

[guwei50]

these are korean, e.g. "oh?ahhhhhhhhh...."

[443829566]

BMW is rear wheel drive biased! of course the front wheel have minimal spin! try to reverse these three and see how it goes~

[derguru1245]

@jonny5777

[thnkgodimanatheist]

mind the fucking differential locks next time

[pigpots]

What are they even doing?

[PraKroo]

another BMW Advert now in Asia.. haha

the truth is that true Quattro has long since not produce. These funny haldex .... :)

[jonny5777]

maybe all that cling-film slowed them down

[Darcer1304]

I think x-drive was the best...

[saimone1981]

After audi quattro show skills in 4.13, we know that Xdrive and 4-matic will be copy now. 

[Mr8Zylinder]

Mercedes is the best...

[grifster981234567890]

i don't trust these biased reviews

[168MobyDick]

XDRIVE 4EVER

[Sajmik6]

not sure if xDrive is best or this test sucks

[GARRETTT5]

4matic better ;)

[joep2240]

QUATTRO POWER!!! look at the famous urquattro!

[JDmohamed]

wheres best AWD on the world "subaru" ???

[kaan8104]

x drive rules again

[franchi]

That Q5 is not quattro. Is the new front wheel drive version. This chinese should be ashamed.

[42OKing69]

that ramp is too short. the back tires dont even go up the ramp. so any rear wheel drive car can make it up that far.

[Ezovskih]

in life - quattro is the best, xdrive - number 2, 4motion - worst

[Ezovskih]

немчурные машины тестят косоглазые? в честь чего?

[kudrickis1994]

4MATIC is the BEST!

[gadgetguy4000]

german suvs? yea but get vw's 4XMotion it kicks butt

[mrporschepimp]

Fucking stupid. Slant eyed bastards!!!!

[skyfaze]

@mrporschepimp they are koreans

[MrMasklim]

это как если бы боксеру, плавцу и штангисту сказали сделать, например упражнение с приседанием со штангой на плечах.. ясно кто сделает лучше.. так и здесь - это лишь одно упражнение, а на дороге одинаковых ситуаций очень мало. и поэтому считаю это не показатель отдавать предпочтение BMW, если судить только по этому. А вообще я люблю BMW))

[pimpb0tt]

Yeah, what was this test about? You try for one second, wheel spins twice and it doesn't hook up, and you give up?

[edthetallguy]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who found this video/test useless.

[xtraxmartin]

those idiots still don't get it! there are no such conditions in the real world... what... ice? yeah... xaxaxa

[TheModManu]

wow..worst 4x4 test ever seen. 4 real.

[RaGeAlucard]

The Audi is so fckn bad

[guitarmafia20]

this shit aint a test !

[cabriolet2009]

The quattro drive is the fist and the best everyone know it.

[SMB67T]

@cabriolet2009

FIST? LOL

[chillowm]

@cabriolet2009 really? I think the xdrive ist the best one, of course quattro was the first but not the best!!!

[nozman1]

meh....this is silly.

[xboxice2005]

this did not get done properly

[bxmxwx7822]

@xboxice2005 why



[Benzfever]

A bunch a fucking Asian engineers trying to copy from the best cars in the world, and to make a fucking Chinese piece of shit version of it.

[realbugger]

@Benzfever LOL they are not even Chinese.

[the93owner]

@Benzfever then tell me why asian cars are some of the top selling in the world... by the way they're speaking korean since you clearly didn't know

[Armaangandevia1]

@Benzfever your so retarded chinese does not make fake cars any more

and guess what

WHERE TO FUCK do you thing toyota, honda, mitsubishi cum from

they are like the best cars EVA

ps most European cars manufacturers hire asian designers

[tstraw48]

@Armaangandevia1 Japan you idiot.

[Armaangandevia1]

@tstraw48 guess where japan is ASIA

[tstraw48]

@Armaangandevia1 "your so retarded chinese does not make fake cars any more

and guess what

WHERE TO FUCK do you thing toyota, honda, mitsubishi cum from

they are like the best cars EVA" That's your comment. Chinese means China. Japan is not China. Would you like me to send you a map?

[DJonX7]

@tstraw48 Oh my god lol.

[ernestokling]

@Benzfever this is the best comment I've ever seen hahahahahahah

[ohmyrogue]

@ernestokling those guys are not even chinese, guess you're as retard as benzfever

[ohmyrogue]

@Benzfever these people are speaking korean, and the cars are original. Fucking uneducated faggot

[ell3114]

@Benzfever actually korean... and pretty much every car manufacturer buys the competition cars to compare and see how they can improve their own product so you can stop being a dick about it

[lilwealthyboi888]

@Benzfever they are korean.

[lilwealthyboi888]

@Benzfever jelous of engineers because they make more $ than u?

[lilwealthyboi888]

@Benzfever and for the record i own a few mercedes bmws and lexus myself.

[patrykfirla]

@Benzfever You stupid asshole , they don't need to copy anything from "German Cars" They have the best all wheel drive system in the world since many years - SUBARU !!!

[ArlisChina]

@Benzfever Clean your fucking mouth ! 

[joshmonarc]

@Benzfever your mama raised a fool......shame.

[kimjb95]

@Benzfever wow u r a fking racist.... and im pretty sure china doesnt even make a car

[I2MDX]

@Benzfever thats fucking korean

[Bmw01F10]

suck my dick 

[erooolllff]

Quattro

[decoster85]

The quattro drive is the fist and the best everyone know it. This is a BMW commercial.

[Benzfever]

What does a Yellow Ricer know about cars anyway

[gorylatko]

Not sure what this stupid test is suppose to prove??..

[SoYoRicK]

quattro!!!

[X0n3]

BMW all the way

BMW ♥

[dawluxe]

And where is SUBARU??? All these cars are lames;)

[XxTristanRiosxX]

@dawluxe testing german cars...

[xxCpxxDr0n3]

even though I'm a happy posessor of an x3, this video is a trick. quattro doesn't react as quickly as xdrive, and it takes more seconds to work... you stopped the q5 right when quattro came in action and you can see it because the q5 started climbing

[xatblasterx]

what does this prove exactly? it doesnt put the cars in REAL WORLD situations. why dont they put the cars through a snow/ice covered track or do what thy did to test the 2010 pickups. same set up but it has water running down it and an ice like side as well to see how the 4wd works. that would seem much more accurate

[boevents1]

Sorry to disappoint you.

We done a test similar to this one - it really works!!!

The BMW xDrive-System is in comparing to the 4-Matic or Quattro system completly elektric which makes is react much faster. The other positive thing about the xDrive is that the power can autimaticly go up to 100 % to the front or the rear axle. 4-Matic and Quattro only up to 80 % to each axle.

4-Matic and Quattro is not bad but not as good as xDrive.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany, just like the cars.

[JET997u]

That BMW already looks 10 years old.

[GoogleBozz]

Nothing is better than BMW!

[ayum88]

boo! <-- for this video.

[kennypang68]

relax people. This is set-up by BMW.

Of course they going to show the Audi spinning.

[SebastianSosa1988]

white people are hating asians because of a test, the real losers are you

[xatblasterx]

@SebastianSosa1988 its not only the whites cock sucker dont ASSume its all whites hating on them.

[kylle345]

HEY I WAS AT THE TEST. THIS IS THE SAME TEST THEY USE ON TOP GEAR SO ITS ACCURATE.

THERES ANOTHER TEST WHERE THEY DRIVE THE VEYRON, AVENTADOR AND 599 GTO UP THAT RAMP. CRAZY

[ipodtouchfromhajik]

fucking japanese point this video is what? have ther auto school ending?..bitches of reis

[PitTuM1991]

and this asian people call a comparation test?

[Zaldivar1964]

omg ... you know what.. asian ppl dont know how to drive .. sorry no offense .. and audis are great cars ..

[ExoticCarFan7]

of course he's asian.
