My family has a Skoda Superb 2021 model so I’m obviously gonna be a bit biased 😅 but this was a very good video to watch. Porsche has just nailed every single car they’ve made over the years and it shows why it costs what it costs. I think Skoda are getting slept on too much but it is a very good value brand, in fact most of the time you even get more car out of the money you spend. Great Video as always😁
@@tirinoarim i think i saw wheels spinning a lot. Maybe hill start assist was engadged and delayed, i dont know. When i saw it again in slow motion i saw that the front wheels were engadged first and after they slept, then torque was push back to rear wheels hence the delay. If you only pay attention to the rear wheel, you would see like the car is not moving because mat didnt press the throttle, were in reality, the awd system was slow to respond.
@@antoniouloukas definitely spin once running. But the Haldex adds in the rears when triggered so shouldnt shut off the fronts at all.

You can adjust the speed of Škoda Hill Hold Control faster with gas pedal and slower with brake pedal. When speed is appropriate feet of the pedals and Škoda maintains the selected speed.

Congratulations to the Porsche from Pilsen, the old cradle of the Škoda brand. What an exciting muddy race. We got used to see a Škoda against regular VWs and Škoda has been rather clearly better for a decade but this is a new level. As kids, we could only see a match of Škodas against two gems of the German car engineering, Trabant and Wartburg.
@Jesús Rodríguez Valencia I'd say yes,since then the car could be more potent in situations like this . On asphalt may not be as sporty,but on rough terrain would definitely be a more versatile opponent
@@lonewolf1300 Torque as a single figure as given in this video is *never* important. What can be sometimes, but rarely, is low RPM horsepower, which is what people really mean when they say "Torque". In this test, neither is important.
Mat has to give himself some sort of advantage. Would be boring if Porsche won every single one And btw it has hill descent control. They just didn’t turn it on. You have to select S as in slow and turn the speed to the minimal speed
If you want to off-road race a Porsche, then get your hands on a 911 Dakar and then do a comparison between this and the Huracan Sterrato. That would be an interesting one to watch...
@@ApothecaryTerry Ariel Nomad very cool car! It look like so much like monster truck, but small and fast. Many people like drive it off-road and have fun. It expensive, but worth it if want adventure to have.
On the other hand, it would depend on the type of comparison. This one -- the simplest form -- is as they would be purchased from the dealer. For example, Land Rovers are excellent off-road vehicles, but generally sold with large wheels and all-season tires. The opposite of what's best for off-road traction. Its the same with the Mercedes G-Class. Giving them similar wheels/tires wouldn't necessarily make it more fair; rather, just change the type (what's being judged) of comparison. I've seen both types of tests, and their great. Consumer get to learn a lot about their cars, and how these vehicles work and perform in different conditions: "Can I take my street-equipped Cayenne off-road?" Well now we know the answer is...yes.
Pounds per point though, the Skoda has it. Assuming these two are the prices listed in the vid, the Skoda costs £8,012.50 per point and the Porsche £9,862.50 per point.
That might change if they had actually used the hill descent control which the Porsche has though 😄 Not that anyone who buys either of these 2 will ever take it off road except perhaps to park in a field for the local farmer's market in their posh countryside village so they can buy some artisanal cheese.
@carwow Idk about that my cayenne does have hill decent control and i have the same model ... Its in the same settings as a cruise control, you just have to switch the modes
hot hatch? It's a SUV And well ... the scout trim level is rather for dirt roads than actual offroad; The more you think a SUV is a offroad car the longer is the walk back to the road
@@EnjoyFirefighting I know the Scout's not a hard core off roader but it has better ground clearance, gets extra under body protection and driver aids ie auto electronic diff lock. Those are all things that would make a difference on a course like this. And as for comparing the Kodiaq VRS to a hot hatch, it's a bit silly in a way but not so much when you think about it: The current 2 litre 4 pot is used across most of the VAG hot hatches and hot cross overs and the most likely buyers will be people that used to have a golf GTi/ Octavia VRS etc but now they've got more kids so need more seats and luggage space but still want to have a bit of fun on the way back from the school run.
@@tomraymond9795 it does NOT have better ground clearance and the under body protection is nothing but a hard sheet of plastic under the engine, that's it.

Cayenne should have it as they normally do have hill assist. Porsche Hill Control (PHC) provides downhill assistance by maintaining a constant rate of speed on extreme downhill gradients.
@@deleted.6743 a modern interpretation of the original Land Rover defender made by a company that isn’t Land Rover and has the engine of a bmw and built in the old g wagon factory
No one used the word "cheap" They said "less expensive". And also, modern Škodas are a far cry from their predecessors from 2 decades ago so people need to start getting used to the idea of paying decent money for them.
@@GKBehindTheWheel the premise of this video was to see cheap vs expensive so which is cheap?? Maybe it is cheap for you but it isn't for me. And to clarify own a 21 plate octavia vrs and I think it's the best car I've owned and I have had a e90 335i Audi s4 avant and mk7 vw golf R, so I have had many different brands and cars so I believe I have owned enough to know what is worth the money, and the reason I believe my vrs is a good a good car is because it punches above its weight and does everything I ask for good value. But at this level it's far too expensive and I say the same about all these cars, and considering skoda is not a premium brand nearly 50 grand for a mid range suv is too much. Would you be happy paying for 45grand for the a Suzuki Across because I know I wouldn't the same principle here.
@@j.a.citadel3258 First of all, whether something is cheap or expensive depends on your perception. For people in developing countries even a Dacia Duster would be an expensive, unattainable thing. In this video, the Kodiaq is simply "cheap" compared to the Cayenne, not cheap in general. Now, do I think the Kodiaq RS is worth €60-65k? Yes, because it offers EXACTLY what I want. And I truly believe that the Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia are some of the best cars on sale and I would have them over a GLB/GLC, A4/C-Class and A6/5-Series. Not DESPITE the fact that they're Škodas, but BECAUSE they're Škodas. They offer everything that I could ask for and none of the stuff that I don't care about, while being cheaper than the equivalent offerings from premium brands.
Porsche does have Hill Descent and engaging Off Road mode on the Skoda softens the launch and limits power and torque which is why the Kodiaq suffered on the hill climb race.
As a current Kodiaq VRS (engine and dsg tune) and being ex Porsche sales I can confidently say that I would never have thought to take either one off road. Reminds me of an off road event we did at the launch of the Jaguar F-Pace in Byron Bay - complete waste of time!
Cool video. But hey, spoiler alert, the Cayenne has the hill descent control called PHC. It is activated through the cruise control when the vehicle is going below 20mph. And, there is no way a Skoda would be better in offroad than the Cayenne, not even close. There is a bit of politics involved in this review haha 🙂
Me, Chinese woman scientist, really love 1-liter engines. They're much better than those big V6, V8, or V12 engines, you know? They may have more power, but they're not very practical. 1-liter engines are much more fuel-saving than the big engines. They're also lighter and easier to take care of. Plus, they can still go very fast and have good performance. Recently, I drove a Skoda with a 1-liter engine, and it was so good for driving in the city or on the highway. Some people might like the loud noise from a big engine, but for me, I think 1-liter engines are the best choice. They're efficient, fast, and easy to handle.
I think the downhill should be allowed to use the brakes. Giving a zero for no hdc is as daft as saying a car can't go on a motorway if it doesn't have druise control. Its a convenience feature. The car may well have more ability - and may even have hdc if the brakes are tapped - but it should be judged on how well it can do the job first and how convenient it is at that job second. The Skoda may well have still won that test but it really should have been ok to use the brakes as anyone normal would.

gotta love the off road challenged though, when is yanni bringing his Urus here?
Prob when he finished wrapping it for the 900th time 😉
@@michaelhorsman3380 or even 5000th time.
Hi Matt, i Wonder if you can do all 1.0l turbo new car, fiesta, civic, polo, 500x, i20,....
I like your off road videos
For Next car please review Produa Myvi from Malaysia please ...
The only off-roading a new cayenne is seeing is the dirt road at the local yacht club.
Not at all. People will park them in fields at the local shooting club or at a posh farmer's market to buy some artisanal cheese.
Porsche deserved a point for the hill descent IMO, good stuff though.
As an off-road fanboi, I'm loving all the recent 4x4 comparisons better than the standard drag race stuff.
Hello carwow.. can you all do a Rimac C one and Nevera drag race? Hi from Croatia!
If u bring the cars yes
@@MrCosmin94 🤣🤣🤣
More interesting would be C one vs Plaid model x...
REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA activo en carwow ❤
Indonesian here.
Mat can you drag race a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport against a Rimac Nevera with Yianni?
Carwow do an off road challenge where you go mad on each challenge and 5 points if you roll the car
Can you test Cupra Formentor offroad next? Should be really interesting as it's a smaller and nimbler SUV.
I think the downhill should be allowed to use the brakes. Giving a zero for no hdc is as daft as saying a car can't go on a motorway if it doesn't have druise control.
Its a convenience feature. The car may well have more ability - and may even have hdc if the brakes are tapped - but it should be judged on how well it can do the job first and how convenient it is at that job second.
The Skoda may well have still won that test but it really should have been ok to use the brakes as anyone normal would.
Right now I have a project going: Audi Q7 V12 with 2.5 inch lift, off-road tyres and all the supporting mods. Also 600hp 1200nm.
When do we get a graham offroad test?
The grill of the Skoda really looks like a BMWs
And the truth is none of these cars was made to drive off-road
