Subaru XV Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Test | YS Khong Driving

- Can a Subaru XV make it up a steep Motocross track made for scramblers? YS Khong takes up the challenge in the Subaru XV - fortunately the XV has X-Mode - which splits the torque through the front and rear axles, and also torque vectoring, which can split the torque between left and right wheels on the same axle. Not many SUV's in this price category can do this.

greetings from australia love your channel mate
i have a 2017 Subaru WRX and the Symmetrical AWD is the best handling car i've ever had on all surfaces
There is only two companies that make proper AWD - Audi and Subaru.
I live in a place where there are snowy winters. Audi and Subaru are the easiest cars to drive. I can drive these cars faster than other cars on the roads during a blizzard storms and still control the car better.
That said, always drive with care and respect mother nature. Because Mother Nature always have the upper hand.
Good insights. Where are you from?
@YS Khong Driving Originally from Sabah, Malaysia. Currently living in Michigan, USA.
Subaru is the best AWD manufacturer. But if need something more hardcore... Go for 4WD pickup truck. But for balance (on road smoothness and off road capability) AWD is the way to go and Subaru is the best in that drive train.
xv okey tak utk offroad...level biasa je..bkan extreme, tengab dlm dilema nk pilih...huhu
@@shahshahril341 Untuk level ladang getah/sawit, pantai, jalan kampung (tanah merah) XV ok sangat.
Untuk level off-road seperti jalan hutan balak ianya tak sesuai. Ni kena guna 4WD.
Hanya pendapat peribadi.
Thank you so much YS Khong for the information. I am glad that I own an XV. I have indeed driven on a road trip 1,316km down south and 1,611km north and found that it truly gives me the "Confidence in Motion".
Great! And thanks!
HDC was first introduced by Land Rover in their Freelander. It is a very good innovation especially if you do a lot of off-roading.
Yup!
Great video again. Do you think that the similar class such as XTrail and Outlander would be able to take on this course?
Hi Kimmy, the unique nature of this very tight track has some critical requirements - at two places, the vehicle will have two diagonally opposing wheels hanging in the air whilst negotiating a sharp bend. Whichever vehicle attempting this difficult maneuver needs to have.a system like the XMode in the Subaru that can transfer drive from one side of the axle to the other, in addition to a power-split between front and rear axles. Any vehicle not having such a system may get stuck, unless the driver manages to carry enough momentum to pass over the two critical spots.
Great video. Thankyou.
Great
I like everything about this car exept the CVT gearbox. Would be a very interested buyer otherwise.
Actually this is one of the better tuned CVT boxes.
@Kanzen Александр Behold, thus saith The Mighty Scotty Kilmer ;o)
Can you test competitors all wheel drive car like Honda CRV AWD, mazda cx5 AWD & X70 AWD at this rood too?
We already have some videos already up in this channel.
@@YSKhongDriving which one you think its best handling and drive among Subara XV, Honda CRV, mazda cx5, X70
@@YSKhongDriving ,i dont see any youtuber in Malaysia test CR-V awd or CX5 awd in extreme road like overseas..only subaru in dry off road.
i like this uncle
Thanks
Could have been great if tested in rainy season on same route.
Don't think the tyres can make it. It would be quite slippery. On Saturday evening it rained. The cars were still up there and still going, but we stopped in the interests of safety. It is all about traction when it gets muddy.
@@YSKhongDriving I think if you give X-Mode a chance, it may actually surprise you in slippery muddy conditions (if mud not terribly deep)😆
Thanks, maybe I can replace my Ranger with an XV to get to my farm through a dirt road and some similar slopes.
Depends in whether you still need to carry durians or coconuts
@@YSKhongDriving Hahaha I carried rocks, sand, grass patches, compost, saplings and all sorts of equipment on my Raptor, when I started the farm. Much less now.
Your comments have convinced me to look seriously at AWD so I am going to view the Forester next week. Thanks
@@jaytan915 interesting. I am planning to get a Forester as well maybe for the same purpose like yours.
Nice
Where is this track at Malaysia?
It's a secret.
Show
Where is this?
Kg Sg Pencala, Petaling Jaya
@@YSKhongDriving From Motor Image Malaysia?
That is the same speed that an XV can go on a regular road, slooooooooooooooow :D
Yawwwwwwn!
