      There is a subtle difference, but for all intents and purposes, the terms can be used interchangeably

    There's another video like this, that tests the Rogue in snow. Except, in that test, they pushed it *WAY* further than what Chris is showing here.
    What you're showing here, Chris, isn't very challenging. In fact, a regular fwd sedan with regular tires could do what you're showing here without any problems.
    Now, the Rogue does happen to be *rather* good in *very* challenging conditions. In fact it's so good that I doubt that any other competitor is going to handle it much better, including the Subaru which is marketed to be the grand master overlord of 4 wheel drive.
    So I looked it up again. Here is that video: ruclips.net/video/kxBfvBhAuMs/видео.html
    So, here, they took it truly off road. The clear cut areas around high voltage electricity lines it seems.
    It can be clearly seen that it feeds just the correct amount of power to the rear such that you don't end up with just 2 wheels spinning. Some awd cars don't do this right, unfortunately.
    So where I live, we had a few heavier snow storms than usual, and one of those times I had to drive across a country road that wasn't plowed. It was absolutely incredible. We're talking really actually well over a foot of snow, perhaps 2. Might not sound spectacular, but measure from the ground along the side of the car, like 1.5-2 feet from the ground. Touching the bottom of the vehicle? A few pickup trucks drove through it, and of course, as always, people tend to drive in or toward the middle, which means that the tire tracks form in the incorrect location. The result is that when you face on oncoming car, you have to venture off those tire tracks, and now you're winging it in deep snow. With many cars, there is a high risk that the snow will grab you and pull you into the ditch. Of course, drive the speed that it calls for, but good grief, if you have to drive a bit of distance, how long is it going to take. With no oncoming traffic, you can actually get the speed up, a bit. Then when you see a car come, slow. And it was so bad, I basically nearly stopped, just in case.
    So with the Rogue, the combination of weight, high off the ground, really awesome beefy winter tires (and none of that all weather crap which is *NOT* as good, no matter how some might claim otherwise), and excellent and intelligent traction control system and awd system, boy oh boy, it was like there barely was any snow! It just plowed right through it like nothing was up. I didn't expect it to handle it this good. It didn't even demand it do be this good, as all I wanted was not to get stuck in some places. But when a regular road basically becomes like an off road condition after crazy dense snow and it goes unplowed, a regular car could *not* do this! A little civic *would* get stuck. Rogue? Hold my beer. It'd love to see a challenge between the Rogue and other SUVs and make a contest out of it. Noway the Subaru is going to automatically win!
