I miss my SX4 - lost it in the Hurricane Sandy flooding. That car would never let me down - in the snow it was the fastest thing I've ever driven even with all weather tires and with Nokian snow tires it was unstoppable.
As far as I know, the Ford Kuga doesn't have a manually switchable differential lock. The SX4 has got one. That's the magic I'll guess. Great little 4x4 the Suzuki. Wow!
the kuga is simply heavier and has wider tires so its harder for it to climb up a snowy hill, but most of the time on paved roads it handles much better than the sx4, when you do need a bit of off road capability it handles fine except in extreme situations like this.
*all over the place not "olover" the place. You are correct, well done. You know basic physics that the Suzuki driver that didn't push throttle fully, had more traction than the Kuga. As the driver of the Kuga was vigerously accelerating, it caused the wheels to slip and spin on the slippery surface, thus resulting in it losing traction. Maybe you are paying a little bit of attention in KeyStage2 science. So now, we have come to realise it wasn't the Ford that was bad, it was the drivers skill.
nevermind what weight of car. the point of this test is to show what difference in offroadproof transmission and torque/balanced engine. and, of course, the tires ))))
so not fair to see this video now, i have the 4x4 Suzuki and i want to replace it with the ford kuga (Escape 2013 north America version) I got tired of the little car after 3 years, to much road noise and a few design flaws, but now i going back to my first option Infinity EX35. Thanks for the video nice job
I think because the SX4 is lighter it had an easier time getting up that hill. The Ford had the same tire footprint, but more weight. It also appears that the Ford Kuga had 4WD instead of AWD? I don't know much about that model.
I can see the commercial now ... "This is the Suzuki SX4... And this is a Crossover costing nearly twice as much... The SX4 also has a better warranty and gets better gas mileage"
I dont have any kind of expirience on driving in the snow, but I can say that the SX4 is, at least, a good offroader on the sand, the problnes are: ground clearance and the 60km/h limit for de 4x4Lock (a must have on the sand). But these 2 probs can be solved by knowing the terrain where you`re driving, going at 55-60km/h (all windows closed...) and knowing the limits of the car (this is not a land rover).
Too much people talking about tires but... SX4 have CENTRAL DIFERENTIAL BLOCKER, and that is a BIG difference in off road. Maybe an SX4 have more Off road capabilities with the same height of explorer, because Ford "suv" only have an electric "inteligent" traction system...
nedžad bajrić im drive at hill with 40 cm snow my tires brand new and ford can very easily go top off hill but porsche cayenne couldnt because tires are bullshit:)
I was completely disappointed, when a plow truck pushed snow onto my driveway, 2ft high. I thought it would challenge my Grand Vitara. From a standing position, that little truck just bulldozed over that pile of packed snow like it was nothing. The engine barley made a grunt or growl.
за резину на Куге не скажу, если зимняя, то очень плохая, а esp конечно задавила хорошо, да и водила по-ходу так себе, на снегу умудрился заглохнуть, + конечно вес!
if you think this fiat is good watch a panda 4x4 destroy a rangerover and this was on tv and actually happed ….kuga a good car but very heavy and I driven them all ...little fiats are great fun
i think that ford Kuga slightly heaver than Suzuki Sx4 or the 4x4 system of Suzuki has well precised n' handling among worst condition than Ford Kuga? i think the ancestor, suzuki samurai was tested the 4x4 capabilities during its generations
I do like Ford. Did it seem otherwise? I don't understand how it could. I just said that the Kuga only slipped and the Suzuki didn't because of the driver. Again, read the comment.
hyenachase f the Kuga constantly monitors the conditions and give the "correct" amount of drive to individual wheels. I think the biggest issue in this video is the difference in weights.

CONGRATS! Nice skills, beautiful scenery and amazing little car :)
Pozdravljeni..a ste zadovoljni z suzukijem po snegu? blatu? ga uporabljate tudi za kak offroad? ali ima kak diff lock/špere?
Hvala za odgovor in lp
I was amazed to see how far and high the sx4 would go considering its grass under the snow!
Thanks I really enjoyed that, looking at one for my daughter, MisterS4ndm4n and Tossdart.

sx4 is good car
Both have winter tires (ЗИМНЯЯ РЕЗИНА):
Kuga: Fulda krisalp 235 55 17
Suzuki: Sava Eskimo HP 205 60 16

That little suzuki is a total boss.
Was that filmed near the croatian border maybe? Cool video !
Might have to get the SX4
Can you let me know what kind of tires and both cars?
Suzuki ❤
lucky i have sx4 great job
SX4 je zakon na snegu! :) Koje gume imaju jedan i drugi?
the Suzuki SX4 4wd is in mode LOCK or AUTO ?
Good climb!
Suzuki invented the quad what did u expect. Best awd car made.
nevermind what weight of car. the point of this test is to show what difference in offroadproof transmission and torque/balanced engine. and, of course, the tires ))))
Hi, difference between fiat 16 and Suzuki SX4?
Dali je Suzuki u AUTO ili LOCK modu?
so not fair to see this video now, i have the 4x4 Suzuki and i want to replace it with the ford kuga (Escape 2013 north America version) I got tired of the little car after 3 years, to much road noise and a few design flaws, but now i going back to my first option Infinity EX35.

it seems that Kuga has summer tires
100%

You need to put snow tyres to the kuga, and take it easier with the gas pedal bcause spinning the wheels will not increase traction
What's the name of the song on the background? Thx in advanve.
then good for you
identical tyres???
Why did you use so bad winter tires???
i am confused... isn't this the awd version? i see all 4 wheels spinning.
First in kuga you have very poor snow tires, second in kuga wheels are too wide. This is a most important thing in this "test" :)
Someone please tell me the title of the song on the background please?
Suzuki best little 4x4 for the money.Good job suzuki!!!!
I can see the commercial now ... "This is the Suzuki SX4... And this is a Crossover costing nearly twice as much... The SX4 also has a better warranty and gets better gas mileage"
tyres????????
Bravo bravo za Suzuki SX4.
Ford Kuga version 4x4?
Вот-вот...на кугу просто нужны ТрЭкеры!
@jackedandtan100 I no they have, but as said is this there attempt.
Song?
i like the sx4
Bad quality What were you filming this, Alcatel A10?
И как резина ?
Sava najjaca

İki arabanın lastikleri aynımı değilse karşılaştırma yeniden yapılmalı
@PorkChop513
Kuga driver must get driving lessons and winter tyres.
This is a story more about the difference between tires than the difference between vehicles.
что за музон?
Problem with tires in Ford...100% ...
nedžad bajrić im drive at hill with 40 cm snow my tires brand new and ford can very easily go top off hill but porsche cayenne couldnt because tires are bullshit:)
The drivers both drove in different places. I never consider a test acurate unless it has been done under proper test conditions.
SU-ZU-KI YEAHHHHHHH!
Let me stop on this snowy hill... and... FLOOR IT!
Please let me know what song is it? beautiful one.
A Good Feeling of Levels by Max Parcell
budots
Tha is why i love sx4 in mongolian harish road
i've got pirelli scorpion on my kuga
yes.. both cars have four-wheel drive..
Kuga had all wheel drive.
Flo Rida- Good feeling
I was completely disappointed, when a plow truck pushed snow onto my driveway, 2ft high. I thought it would challenge my Grand Vitara. From a standing position, that little truck just bulldozed over that pile of packed snow like it was nothing. The engine barley made a grunt or growl.
Levels - Avicii :-)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that with AWD, you have to give it a good amount of gas for the system to work?
Esp on and off.. we tried everything ;)))
hi
was the sx4 on lock mode or auto? assuming lock mode, winter tires or regular tires?
Kugas weight seems apparant , cant see tyres on it etc
Kuga ESP was on or off ????. If on ,something is wrong with the driver,if off again something wrong with the driver..... : )
tyres tyres tyres
они оба на зимних шинах, sx4 намного легче форда, отсюда и разница)
за резину на Куге не скажу, если зимняя, то очень плохая, а esp конечно задавила хорошо, да и водила по-ходу так себе, на снегу умудрился заглохнуть, + конечно вес!
It did not go street? This would have happened to the Suzuki if the driver had also floored it.
es liegt wohl ehr an den Reifen^^
You need 2nd or 3rd gear you divvy not 1st. And if you got a landrover you would be ok.
if you think this fiat is good watch a panda 4x4 destroy a rangerover and this was on tv and actually happed ….kuga a good car but very heavy and I driven them all ...little fiats are great fun
türkiyeeee
Guys... If you noticed it depends even of the driver! THE one with Suzuki drives better.
i think that ford Kuga slightly heaver than Suzuki Sx4 or the 4x4 system of Suzuki has well precised n' handling among worst condition than Ford Kuga? i think the ancestor, suzuki samurai was tested the 4x4 capabilities during its generations
u get stuck if your on a hill on idle.
.
Оператору руки оторвать
Сузуки есть Сузуки...
oh yah it did not go street because it slighting olover the place
I do like Ford. Did it seem otherwise? I don't understand how it could. I just said that the Kuga only slipped and the Suzuki didn't because of the driver. Again, read the comment.
Buy some Michelin, Goodyear or Vredestein tyres.
Tomorrowland 2011 official video
Tyres..
Avicii legend rip....
I have kuga and this snow test is fake.Kuga have exellent grip on hill climbing.
Yeah, the AWD system is very good on it
Thats right its perfekt in snow we have one too
Fake? Illuminatis? No, just your pathetic angry (for a car, lol)
The difference between all wheel drive and four wheel drive.
tyres!!!
when i say Explorer i try to explain why SX4 is more capable than Kuga, Explorer and All other Ford SUV with the same awd system.
ale veľa záleží aj od pneu..
ford kuga have all seasons tyres... suzuki have winter tyres thats a difference
suzuki the best
What's wrong with the Ford driver?
why dont you show the tru angle of this video or do all the trees grow on a angle?
Ponosno vozim SX4
suzuki has difflock thats why it crawls so easyly it has 2w 4w and lock control
If front and rear wheels are locked and turning on the Ford it must be tyres and or driver thats not to good
the suzuki have a traction and the kuga did not have a traction that's why it slide olover the place
tires 235 vs 205 (suzuki) ofcourse it will be easier for suzuki
kuga is also heavier noobs dont understand this ;-)
Suzuki has 4 wheel lock dont think the Kuga has ?
hyenachase f the Kuga constantly monitors the conditions and give the "correct" amount of drive to individual wheels. I think the biggest issue in this video is the difference in weights.
