All Terrain Wagons: Audi Allroad VS. Subaru Outback & Volvo XC70

Love Audi ❤

Should’ve used the 3.6R Subie for a true head to head comparison. But you really didn’t want a head to head comparison after all.

Subaru CVT não presta!!!!

Subaru’s cheap haldex system can’t hold a candle to AUDI QUATTRO

turn off the ESP in the Subaru!

Ask anyone with any successful off-road or rally driving experience. The Subaru driver is an idiot. Correction: most of these drivers are idiots.

This video literally convinced me to buy an A4 allroad for use in Colorado

Subaru LMAO!
Audi Quattro for the win!
Audi won the rally races of the 80’s! Those wins kept audi alive!
We love our AUDI!

I love subie...h8 the cvt

These cars weren't built for this terrain

If you can’t do it properly, please leave it alone

Let’s try a turbocharged Subaru and see who masters this climb

You can't have a controlled test, when every driver is different and skill levels obviously vary drastically. This is silly.

interesting way to destroy these soccer mom cars

How about the 2023 wilderness models for Subaru???

Volvo is best off road😊

The outback is a better all around car❤

Here's all the maintenance Outside of air and oil. Idler bearings on fan belt at about 150k KM, Radiator around 200k KM, sparkplugs every 100k-130k KM, rear wheel bearings (always back left) about every 150k KM, some windscreens , Some bushes in front suspension, (less often than I would expect given the roads I drive, drivers door latch needed adjusting. So never worked on a head gasket, a water pump, not even a gas strut or shock , never replaced any part of exhaust, no real rust (amazing considering I drive on the beach and put surfing gear in the back. I've seen Toyotas, Fords, Mitsubishis and many others rust much faster in the same conditions. I'd love to drive something else but to date they're the best fit for me. I'm also 6'3" and can stand under the boot lid without smacking my head.

Should include Passat Alltrack and Nissan Stagea.

Lame

lucky they didn't blow the transmission on the Subaru. The P3 XC70 did a fantastic job, the driver screwed up the line though as it had the front left wheel berried in that hole.

I took my s90 2018 model with street performance tires up a nasty firebreak in the mud to fire two employees for smoking wees on the job. They were surprised and pissed their f-250's could barely make it and i did with minimal issues. Then I fired them and left. Don't do drugs folks and don't do Audis and Subaru.

I wish they had a A6 C8 Allroad, from 2020-2023 in this test. I'm looking to get one !

yeah I think a lift kit is needed for proper off roading

A4 allroad = best car in the world

I sold my Outback an buy a a4 all road

Subaru could make a great car if they got rid of that CVT transmission. Their sales would double. Nissan did it with their Pathfinder.

I hope you can get hold of a Mercedes E400d. I'm curious to see irs performance offroad.

Bad driving and not understanding the vehicle traction control systems makes some of these cars look so bad

Only Subaru drivers are reluctant

Quattro 💪💪💪

trop débile ...

BS test! NO mention of tyers or its pressure. Also remarkable was how DIFFERENT the cars were driven. 100% BS!

Big fan of both Audi and Subaru . My first car was a 1995 Subaru legacy sedan AWD. 300,000 miles and tough winters in lake Tahoe. Now drive Audis wow wish I could be a rally driver I love having a beautiful car that can handle gritty situations

Well I didn't understand why you did the test of the Audi Allroad Quattro (oldest one) with ONLY the 3rd level of suspension engaged instead of the 4th level which grants a ground clearance of 21cm. Also some of the cars had mixed tires while that one had road flat tires unfitted for the challenge. Nontheless the car make it. What would be the performance of the 2.5 TDI 180 HP 370Nm tiptronic year 2005 BAU engine!!?

It would be helpful if you mentioned ground clearance.

this is the perfect comparison between varying cars that I've been eyeing for my needs!

the driver of the subaru is absolutely useless.

and where is the Subarus 'momentum' and 'traction control off' test? what genius goes on a hill that steep with traction control? lol.

I love that this showed Subaru for what they truly are, a lot of talk and advertising! I think I will stick to Audi thank you very much. Great video enjoyed it immensely !

All road quttro is the best

Audi A4 Allroad looked really impressive

My wild guess is that Subaru is not sponsoring this test like in some other channels.

Here are random cars from random years with random drivers over a course that's different after every driver. We decided to make it scientific by including a voice over.
Fail.

Though this is indeed an interesting video and very entertaining, I have to say that none of these cars were designed for this terrain condition. Their AWD systems are merely made for road use, snow on road mostly while entertaining certain trails. For this terrain, I believe an outright 4x4 with proper tires (which would be uncomfortable and noisy on roads) would make it easily. But, while acknowledging what this test is about; a test of the 4x4 electronic systems, one need to know the ones that pride themselves with superior 4x4 systems are the Audi and Subaru and they started blowing the marketing horns back in the 70s or 80s. It is only recent years, the Audi's 4x4 electronics actually helped them overcome this terrain slightly better than other much cheaper cars.

CVT transmissions no good

Quite surprising test, at least for Volvo and Subaru.
Could you, if ever want to revisit the topic of all terrain wagons in the future, to include a VW B8 Alltrack in the mix? maybe with the 2.0 bi-turbo diesel or 2.0 tsi engine, please, even if such engines are managed by a dsg gearbox? I know this is not the main focus of the channel but I am curios to see if the haldex system of the VW performs differently from the Quatro system on the A4 allrroad you have had in this test. Maybe include also even also a B7 Alltrack with a manual gearbox, or , if you can find, a B8 with manual gearbox even if such variants have lower torque. It might be interesting to see how the VW integrated all-terrain in a Passat compared to the A4 pr A6 allroads.
Thanks again for your work and extensive testing over the years!

seems like the 2007 xc70's AWD is not working properly. Tests on rolls show that it should have worked

Wonder where they do their testing 🤔

The only thing we can agree on this is how ugly the new xc 70 looks compare to this beautiful majestic early 2000’s 🐬
