Hummer had MT Tires. Touareg had Street Tires. Imagine how good the Touareg would be, with good traction tires. BTW ... Great Video, dude. Thanks for posting.
Excellent Video... nice mud action including the hill climbs and decent.... Need offroad tires for tha VW... great capability and i can see the traction control really trying hard to kick in. Great video.... post more up!!!
best part is at 1:50 because I like the fact that he could avoid the water but he went right in it! :D when I was young I used to do the same with my bicycle
I had a brand new TOUAREG model 2008 3l diesel. And a lot of troubles! A LOT! The central display behind the wheel left me after 2 Years (1400euro in service all the front panel, but I did it by myself buying a new sharp display (120usd on net)... The shaft (specifically it has a ball bearing that collapses in 2-3 years (another over 1000 euro part because You have to replace all the shaft) but I found someone to fix it by cutting replacing ball bearing and welding back the shaft)... The heating fan under the inner torpedo... the central rear brake light (even with LED), AND AT THE END THE DISTRIBUTION CHAIN (in the middle of a trip on a highway, no more than 80kmph) that fckd up all the engine! I was to THEM SERVICE a week before and they said "chain has no more than 30% usage"...
While german cars are nice, I will never buy one again because they are designed to fail and extremely expensive to repair. There is a reason why a $50k german car loses more than half its value in just 2-4 years.
I used own both of these fine suv's when it comes to off road, you can't compare the vw to H2! H2 uses off road tires and vw uses street tires! Comfort vw hands down! Power H2! Good video!
Those are some really slick departures from the water holes, some of them could be trouble for anything to climb when they are polished and smooth like that. Tough to get the timing right but those first runs looked inconsistent with the throttle on the touareg. Those bigger tires help the H2, but the timing and smooth throttle help tons.
It is not about who wins. All these trucks are capable, the difference is in the tires. having a 4x4 won't help much is you don't have the right tires. All these tires they have on their trucks are road tires.
yea but the hummer has eaton e lockers from facory front and rear. that vw limited slip aint gonna cut it when shit hits the fan even if u got super swampers

Full credit to the VW drivers, doing their best to not get out of the ditch. Why didn't the Hummer stop and loose all momentum before climbing out of the hole?
Nagy Andras They could be driving them on the street. Never taking them out to play. Granted, they aren't exactly ready for the off road stuff. But it looks like they're having fun.
Chris, I guess it also depends on the suspension options you go with. I had an H2 luxury edition with air ride but now I have a Cayenne S without the air suspension. My H2 rode way smoother than the Cayenne on any type of terrain. But you're right, the H2 is better off road for sure. Especially if you upgrade the factory BFG's.
Three things to Touareg driver: 1.Get a proper off-road tires 2.Learn how high your air intake is 3.Get some off-road experience Touareg, because of its drive-train layout, is far more capable than most off roaders of its class.
They're called road tires, they're not sporty. They're designed for comfort and safety on the road. Putting mud tires on the Tuareg, it would do anything Hummer does, and probably even more, because its technically light years ahead of the prehistoric mechanics inside the H2.
@SUSLICK also touareg has a very very stiff chasis ..stiffer than most sedans..if i remember 45 Hz..i think thats the measuring unit for some sort of chasis stiffness test.
Everybody saw the mistakes the VW driver made and also the tire issue... but why does the clip now show the Hummer going through the same mud areas where the Tuareg gets stuck in? The Hummer with the road tires will also get stuck in those areas... all and all, the Hummer is a far better offroader than the Tuareg and that i have seen from experience, but it would have been fun to see a more accurate comparison between the two!
@a2js2 We decided that Touareg goes first into the ice hole, cause we did not know how deep that hole is. It was easir to pull out Toureg by H2 than vice versa
The Touareg is 4wd just like the hummer, which i believe has the same torque distribution as you claimed the Touareg has, untill you lock the center diff. And both hummer and the VW have locking center and rear differentials.
@Johandyman There is no problem if the engine is running. Pressure of exhaust does not allow the water to come in to it. You should never stop the engine if the exhaust is below the water line. And if you do so, never start the engine again. Get your car to servise for repair first.
I think mud tires will help for sure, but there are no lock on rear diff that can be a problem, the year of this toureg is 3rd Gen Haldex,only ABS and computer etc to simulate the locking job....
@Claudioman2009 the rear diff lock wasnt engaged the rear right tire was spinning with the front at the same speed the only true 4X4's are vehicles equipped with diff locks in the front and back turning all wheels at the same time other wise its the LSD will put power to the wheels that have traction
@l337pwnage Actually sometimes traction control will cause you to struggle in terrain like this. when it starts sensing wheel spin it will start applying the brakes to the tire that is spinning in mud all your tires will start spinning therefore slowing you down and getting you stuck. i think with a little more speed and the traction control off in the VW this would be cake for it
The touareg uses HT tire and was able to cross most holes in the video. Hummer h2 on the other hand uses AT tires. Let's see them both on AT tires and that will become a good comparison.
it was designed and engineered with biggest priority being onroad performance and comfort since VW did not expect more then 0.01%of people to actually use it off road.Yet they installed air suspension with off road clearance settings, yes not as high as real off road cars but a goof 8cm more then in standard mode. The put a LOW range gearbox in, thats pretty off roady dont you think? The traction control has an off road setting. For the road with good offroad capability given its target market.
maybe the audis are, but the touareg has a low range gearbox, which im not sure was even used here, and manually licking diffs. thats not for shopping or snow (maybe 50cm deep snow yes)
Why does smoke come from the car engine in a cold weather even tho the car's heating is normal ??? Can someone answer pls because it happens to me on cold weather at the stop light
Even though the hummer is nothing more than a revamped Land Rover base from when American General was bought out, the hummer is still based on a military design, the volks is really meant for road travel, so it has a much higher roll ratio. Thats why he is slowly going down, go to fast and hit a bump or panic and hit the breaks too hard and it will turn into a human hamster wheel...
When the revs are kept up there are so many fumes coming out the exhaust that the water cant get it. The water wasnt deep enough. over 500mm starts to become a problem
Hummer had MT Tires. Touareg had Street Tires. Imagine how good the Touareg would be, with good traction tires.
BTW ... Great Video, dude. Thanks for posting.

Very nice video! I've never seen a Touareg off-roading before and it did exceptionally well even with the road tires!
even with street tires Tuareg is pretty good
nice video! neither vehicle had tires for mudding but the Hummer is clearly in a class by itself.
nothing can beat a good set of tires. vw with those all season tires...

That Touareg should have a locking diff and it does not look like it was used. or even low gears

Even with road tires, that's impressive. I drive a Touareg and it will never change.
Seriously who in their right mind would take their car off road with street tires.

what's next, an Audi RS7 off roading? Hey, it's got Quattro...
They did some offroad testing with the Nissan GTR.
best part is at 1:50 because I like the fact that he could avoid the water but he went right in it! :D when I was young I used to do the same with my bicycle
Touareg and Audi are suv cars for street, but Hummer is for off road drive. Touareg and Audi q3 are just luxury street drive cars (suv).
Nah, they just needed offroad tires and a driver that isn't a dumbass.
Why would you not put off road tires on the Touareg if you are going to do this
Audi wins! :p
The Hummer is like Bob Sapp, big but empty.
That's one bad ass hummer keeping up with the cars and minivans.
touareg has wrong tire. It has street tire instead of off road tires.
touareg has wrong driver, he knows nothing about off-road drive

I´ve never seen a Touareg in real offroad action and I love Hummer! =) Great job! The Touareg has a V6 hasn´t he?
In a big part , it`s about tires ...
Full credit to the VW drivers, doing their best to not get out of the ditch. Why didn't the Hummer stop and loose all momentum before climbing out of the hole?
so.. none of them had proper set of tires on,
only the hummer has something to do with offroading.
what is the point?
Nagy Andras exactly what I just wanted to say
Nagy Andras
They could be driving them on the street. Never taking them out to play. Granted, they aren't exactly ready for the off road stuff. But it looks like they're having fun.
it looks like they are suffering.
don't have to go to extremes, just a set of proper tires.
+Nagy Andras the point is to have fun, something you clearly dont understand
Maybe to see what the cars can do on normal road tyres, rather than cheat to give them more capability?
Putting a slick tyres to a car and wondering where this all torque gone...
Priceless.
Impressive for highway terrain tires

Off road tires need here and then the Touareg has been given a head start Hammer
Absolutely! Driving off road is way more fun with the right equipment :)
new test with better tires on the Touareg!

all hummers are jokes accept for the H1 and the Mercedes unimog also rocks both of these cars
A land rover range rover would beat these lumps of sh@t
only the ones with difflock
EinkOLED Perhaps as long as they don't break down and have to be towed to a shop.
Well the thing about differentials is that they allow torque to flow down the path of least resistance, meaning that the torque distribution varies.
Forget this shit.
Use Lada Niva off the road !
Or ARO .

They're called road tires, they're not sporty. They're designed for comfort and safety on the road. Putting mud tires on the Tuareg, it would do anything Hummer does, and probably even more, because its technically light years ahead of the prehistoric mechanics inside the H2.
Tires, tires ,tires !
No, the Hummer has a unique chassis which only it uses. It was just built at the same place the Tahoe was.
Hummer is pure badass
@SUSLICK also touareg has a very very stiff chasis ..stiffer than most sedans..if i remember 45 Hz..i think thats the measuring unit for some sort of chasis stiffness test.
sorry guys, but what is a tuareg doing in an off-road course?
Everybody saw the mistakes the VW driver made and also the tire issue... but why does the clip now show the Hummer going through the same mud areas where the Tuareg gets stuck in? The Hummer with the road tires will also get stuck in those areas... all and all, the Hummer is a far better offroader than the Tuareg and that i have seen from experience, but it would have been fun to see a more accurate comparison between the two!
No matter what vehicle you take offroad, if you dont have offroad tires you are going to struggle. Video is misleading and stupid.

Toureg was not built to outperform a H2 off-road.

great cars
this is 100% because the Hummer is on it's stock BFG A/Ts and the Touareg is on its stock high way tires.
Wheres the Jeep? Jeep would have ROCKED that course!!!

@cisnerofam08 Good point. Maybe the H2 had his traction control turned off.
In mud, momentum is pretty important.
а мы в деревню по таким дорогам раньше ездили )))
Who goes out off-roading in icy mud..? The crackling ice gave me the shivers...
@miu2k
No damages on Touareg. It is just a plug on recovery eye screw hole - prepared for rescue :-)
@Claudioman2009 the rear diff lock wasnt engaged the rear right tire was spinning with the front at the same speed the only true 4X4's are vehicles equipped with diff locks in the front and back turning all wheels at the same time other wise its the LSD will put power to the wheels that have traction

@gmann2388 Not sure, probably standard road pressure ... deflating would increase the traction
хамер зверь явно! его еще 100 лет никто не обойдет.
@gadgetguy4000 that hummer has 3 4wd options, two of them is all wheels locked.
Much respect indeed my friend.
Great video, but did you have the diferencial locked on the touareg when it got stuck in the mud?
Pretty sure the Touareg would've performed better with better tires.
The touareg uses HT tire and was able to cross most holes in the video. Hummer h2 on the other hand uses AT tires. Let's see them both on AT tires and that will become a good comparison.

Porsche Cayenne, one of best off road vehicles.
I wouldnt want to try this in my audi 90 quattro, but I will be having fun like this!!!:D
I think tyre make big mistake for touareg , it's smooth and soft you can't use it for off road in any car else
@xregizorx No, It's Czech Republic - Central Europe next to Germany
maybe they should do another close comparison between a 1500 pick up and a caviler

@TomasNovy1975 its actually makes this weird thing called steam... it turns H2O from a liquid state into a gas state.
Not a bad try for road tyres. I'd like to see how far these would go with good mud tyres.
Great video! However i keep wondering, would the car not stall since the exhaust is so much under water?
When the revs are kept up there are so many fumes coming out the exhaust that the water cant get it.
The water wasnt deep enough. over 500mm starts to become a problem
It is 3.0 TDi, 176kW, air suspension
City tires for off-road ... nonsense
