    WOW, nie myślałem że te kompaktowe dołączane napędy 4x4 są tak sprawne, one nie wiele różnią się od napędów 4x4 typu Quattro, 4matic, xdrive, subaru , a ceny tych aut są duuuużo wyższe.
    PS. czy napęd 4x4 od VW w mniej sportowych wersjach silnikowych czym się różni od tego z Gofra R czy Audi S3/RS3? nie pytam o Forda bo napęd 4x4 jest tylko w RS. A odnośnie Foki, to widać że albo opony nie wyrabiają albo za wysokie najazdy, bo tylne koła się kręcą mimo że nie ma rolek, tak jak by gumy nie mogły złapać przyczepności (może ma za mały prześwit i koło ledwo co dotykało ziemi).

    the volkswagen driver was attempting to "win" by steering left and right and rocking the vehicle. Kind of defeats the purpose of objectively comparing 2 systems.

      Ford ma bardziej zaawansowany układ AWD. Dopiero najnowszy Golf R ma taki rodzaj układu, jak Focus RS.

    Ошибка организаторов в том, что Фокус стоял на скользкой разделительной линии. Из-за этого не смог съехать с роликов даже при 4-х вращающихся колёсах.

    New crossovers fail in these tests badly and awd hatchbacks like these do just fine. Yet people keep buying more and more of those wobly, cheap, ugly pieces of crap... so sad.

      @@4x4.tests.on.rollers Some NEW crossovers sure, especialy plug in hybrids, but these cars are 5 years old already. Looking back at Qashqai, ASX, X3, etc. from that era they didnt do as well. My point is that people with basic to no knowledge usually own such a crossovers. But they never realize that those cars are more prone to flipping due to higher center of gravity, because of that also dont turn as well, they are barely more practical since mostly they are just on lifted hatchback chassis and to make them look bigger they have bigger panels and bumpers resulting in heavier car which increases fuel economy. They are also powered by the same engines that manufacturer puts in hatchbacks.

      @@5ohh112 So far only one PHEV did well (Peugeot). Other PHEV and especially HEV completely failed. I never made a list but I would say that overall 50% of gas suvs pass all tests, and if we look at last 5-6 years - that will be more. Flipping is not an issue as all of these cars are equipped with ESP. Some SUV/crossovers are even more stable in mosse tests than hatchbacks or sedans.

    Both are pathetic with all these drive modes which do not do much. At least in this test. Does the Golf R use the Haldex? If so Volvo implementation is so much better constantly showing it's capability in this test.

    • @4x4.tests.on.rollers
      @4x4.tests.on.rollers  3 года назад +1

      These modes change a lot during driving, especially in Focus RS, complete change of characteristics from fwd to rwd. Golf R uses haldex, however the newest one (2021) gets the same type of awd system as Focus RS. In these tests both cars had problems with grip, not with power distribution.
