Subaru Crosstrek XMODE snow hill climb.

Love how traction control was off too just to flex

Impossible to tell in a video how slick that hill is, but it really doesn't look much worse than what I climb every winter day with my Prius and winter tires. Just keep the momentum going and up I go.

I'll stick with my '08 Outback. No CVT, no traction control. Gets me through Michigan winters just fine on all season tires. Great video by the way.

We live on a private road and get 5-6 feet of snow every winter.
After turning off the county road and onto our road we have to put our Subie’s into Xmode just to get up our road and into our garage.

Dat took long

As a subaru crosstrek driver myself i kinda laugh when i see people stuck ,i shouldnt but i do

Hey inflate your tires!

👍💪👏🚗🙋‍♂️🇲🇪

Are you supposed to have TCS off while x-mode is on? I just have never gotten a chance to use x-mode yet.

You want to leave traction control on when going high speed in snow. If the car’s wheels on the left go over a patch of black ice they will speed up otherwise and jerk your to the right once you come off it possibly into a guardrail. Low speeds however you want it off because otherwise it could cut power to all your wheels and you won’t be able to move since it will match the wheel speed with the slowest moving wheel. Turning on x-mode will then lock fast spinning wheels to deliver more torque to the wheels with grip.

Hey viewers. Before clicking thumbs down, feel free to comment why you don'l like the vid. No money comes my way, this was just simply showing a vid of the car climbing a pretty steep hill at low speeds. Cheers.

If they only had good engines their awd works well

X-mode only works at low speeds right? Like below 15 or 20mph?

Wow offroad ready in city suv looking car

20k views!! Hey now!

Doesn't having traction control off and x-mode on kind of cancel each other out? Enlighten me if I'm wrong please.

What year is this Crosstrek?

Looks like you turned the Vehicle Dynamics off and X mode on. Correct?

I have Yokohama GO15'S on my outback, it's an A/T with 3 peak rating. They are a great on/off road tire. I do a lot of deep sand beach driving. A good tire to consider next time you need tires.

You needed X-mode for that?

Give gass man dont be afraid😃

Glad to know. I’ve used this in Va. plowed right out of a situation.

Whoohoo! 5k views! lol

I was cheering for ya!

That ACcord Coupe looks like it has summer tires on too. Big rims, what a genius.


I'm looking outise my window and mother nature just dumped some new snow on the ground. It's 5AM and no salters or plowers are out yet. My Subaru Crosstrek is sitting at the dealer. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one. This video had me on the edge of my seat but yeah, very confidence inspiring to see it keep soldering on.

Well done! Hope to see more next time. Looked like another smaller incline in front of you. Great vehicle

What tires do you have mounted in this vid?
