Can’t really compare the 2 since it has different drivetrains but I had a 21 RAV4 hybrid rental and with the 2 electric motors on the rear wheels, I noticed it sent excessive amounts of power to the rear especially going slow in corners in snow causing rear end to breakaway severely. Very interesting
Think that's because he was in sports mode, not snow mode. Sports is biased towards rear wheel drive. Snow balances the power output to all four wheels.
I am pretty sure I could have gotten through that with my EV6 RWD - but only without slowing down. It’s surprisingly good (very good) on snow and ice. But I am sure you only stopped/slowed down to demonstrate the AWD system.
@@CarQuestion I have a lot of experience with the RWD in ice and snow. I am pretty sure I could. There’s a lot of weight on the back end of the car making it very capable in harsh conditions.
For the same situation here no cause the big tractor snowblower was already waiting to clear it But we are checking to do a roller test today but rain wants to be in the party
Not exactly Quattro is it.... lol EV6 is RWD Bias always will be, their FWD system is a false 4x4 really, car only sends power to all 4 wheels after it's sometimes too late and the car has dug a hole in the snow.
@@CarQuestion I would say just capable not more than capable and over xDrive or Quattro its basically a toy. Having owned an EV6 for 16 months and know some AWD driver EV6 owners, it is only just capable when AWD decided to work, Snow mode is required on the EVY and it still tried to dig you a hole at the back before all 4 wheels kick in and try and move the car. Very capable car though to get you out some snow/ice.
@@logicpro8382 I wonder how EV6 GT would do in rough condition since it has LSD + Dual Motor AWD. I think the limiting factor is the lack of Lateral LSD.
"after it's sometimes too late" That's kind of wierd. Most Multi Motor Electric AWD system react around 100hz and should be able to sense traction limits faster than a human can comprehend. AC motor EV drive trains have the benefit of being a Servomechanism, which is massively delayed and simulated by ICE drive train. The power distribution between FWD and RWD should be near instant. That may be some flawed programming.
With our government that is very happy about gas price and they can get great income with our taxes I’m starting to look for electric but autonomy on electric is not enough for my situation. Only Tesla makes sense to me. Electricity fees raising as well and it makes that there is no financial benefits over petrol since electric vehicles are still overpriced. Then comes the environment factors… Electric vehicles are not so environmental friendly. Just look how much water is needed just for manufacturing the Li battery, not to mention that all the plastics made in parts of petrol etc etc. Then once there will be enough electric vehicles government will raise their energy pricing… One way or another we get…
It isn't the government creating these prices, its the big oil companies. Totally private. There is no oil supply shortage in North America what-so-ever, they are simply using foreign wars as an excuse to profiteer. They've done this for over a century from Standard Oil's monopoly up to today. This is the real reason why we need to get away from oil, its a corrupt energy sector. Whether you're against oil for environmental reasons, whether you're against corporate profiteering and corruption, or whether you just think we need modern technology to overtake older tech, there's many reasons to get off oil.
What a bunch of pointless nonsense. FYI The amount of fuel required to keep a car of this class of car running for 250,000 Miles is literally SEVERAL Times the weight of the entire car. The amount of resources to manufacture an EV battery is very worth it as it's soo tiny and last the lifetime of the car. You are ignoring the fact the alternative method uses way more resources in literally tonnage even when charging of dirty US grid mix. Also Lithium Ion based BEVs are way LESS TOXIC than Crude Oil sourced fuels in both LD50 Potency and Tonnage of waste produced. BEVs do not require nearly as much Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon PAHs byproducts. You entire IDEOLOGY is based on Governments and Politics while ignoring scientific and mathematical facts.
Naturally you will be driving and caught in a rain/snow storm. Small chance for huge problem's. Short circuit can always happen around water/snow. More to fry on an EV. Ouch, the cost could be shockingly costly.
What a bunch of INSANE nonsense. The massive safety problem with these large capacity EV batteries is they are soo well insulated and water proof. There is near zero chance snow or ground water will get inside the battery. "wiring underneath" There is no wiring underneath the battery on the exterior, it's mostly up high near the passenger cell. Fire Fighters are currently having problems with this early EV tech to dump water in the battery in case of a fire. Freaking FIRE TRUCK Hose can't even do a good job pushing water into these batteries. This is great for durability, but a problem for fire safety. Stop spamming up silly false assumption.
Wow that's a damn good awdsystem
A very well balance AWD system for traction and fun in the snow.
How? It’s so delayed.
@@H0rseMac on sport mode. Sportmode the power come from rear most. But in snow mode. its better then quattro. And even nore reliable.
Can you give more details on how different modes and nannies handle drifts and shenanigans 🙃

Not sure the RAV4 hybrid would have pass this test, we have an older video about te Rav4 performance ua-cam.com/video/1ctT9yNiMuQ/v-deo.html
Great video
Seems a bit slow to react, but once it does, it seems to work well. Which winter tires are you using?
Those don't look like winter tires

Nope you could not with your Rwd ;)
@@CarQuestion I have a lot of experience with the RWD in ice and snow. I am pretty sure I could. There’s a lot of weight on the back end of the car making it very capable in harsh conditions.
Sending it maybe but stoping and going like this no ;)
@@CarQuestion That’s exactly what I said in my first post. I specifically said “..without slowing down”.
Was the drive mode set to Snow or just left in sport mode?
Sports mode since you have more power on demand
The snow mode is slower to react but still good also
@@CarQuestion Any chance of a video in snow mode?
For the same situation here no cause the big tractor snowblower was already waiting to clear it
But we are checking to do a roller test today but rain wants to be in the party
What tire is on this ?
25 second vid? Because it ran out of battery?
Cause it's the end of the driveway.
Hint : use the search button to find more video about snow and this car on our channel
is the power good for deep snow?
way too much power... gotta go gentle on that beast
🤯
Your dog is saying, bro, stop being a yahoo and come play with me...
she is always willing to hitch a ride :P
How much energy did that take?
A couple miles worth of range.
You are using Accord rims, maybe why you enjoy.
Those are the oem wheels
@@CarQuestion okay, look same as my 2020 Accord 2.0T
Don’t high center the car, digging that out is no fun!!!
no car got stuck during this review :P

It's not Quattro cause there is no link between the front and the rear... but it sure is more than capable of those kinds of snowfall

In that 25 seconds, the range dropped by 70%
🤣🤣🤣

The fact that snow (water) is going to get into the battery and the wiring underneath, this is such a stupid thing to do to a $50,000 car lol...
every car has wiring underneath

Because the Japanese clearly have no clue how electronics works.
