VW Atlas 4Motion--VERY STABLE IN THE SNOW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The VW Atlas is the biggest product in the company lineup with seating for 7-passengers over three rows of seats. Even though this is much bigger than the other VW products it sahes the exact same 4Motion AWD system with its smaller VW cousins. This 4MotionAWD system has the ability to shift up to 100 percent of the power from the front wheels to the rear wheels.

Yes, we are having a blast driving our ATLAS this winter. Is doing fantastic!❄️
Yeah I am pretty sure we are going to buy one
Great video sir we just picked up our Atlas today !
I just drove my Atlas 2023 in the snow and ITS AMAZING!!
Atlas is by far the best affordable suv we’ve had two now. Wish I could get the sport but too many kids
Sounds like VW infomercial!
Are those winter tires?
Stable maybe but wow seems the traction in snow is incredible. DJI Drones are also cool.
lead the pack more like lead my wallet away 😒
Dream SUV.
I like the gold paint and I am 70 years young ;)
You Wildin, the gold car is one of the best colors VW added to their color line.
Is that rear wheel based 4 wheel system or front wheel ?
Now were all these cars driving on stock tires or snow tires?
Winter tires
BH what did you think? It's the law and if now law (the rest of Canada)it makes sense and they are called WINTER tires not snow tires.
Sorry, didn't know. I'm from the U.S.
@@sergevivier2861 you're a douche. Just saying.
Thank the tires
maybe you can compare this with Subaru Ascent with stock tire (all-season) in similar winter condition.
The end of your title is how I write my dating profile on tinder "Very Stable... in the snow...
Hows that working for you?
Motormouth Canada still single :( wahhh
Hey Zack, how does the AWD system compares to the Subaru? I have a 2016 Forester with a manual, studded Nokian
Hakkapeliitta and having a lot of fun with a Winnipeg Winter. Cheers. Rob
The Atlas uses a Haldex. Subaru uses a viscous coupling for the manual, or an open center for the CVT. With the Haldex in the Atlas, on pavement / tarmac it can send up 50% of the power to the rear. But suppose the front tires are on ice, and the rear are on pavement, it will engage the clutch fully, and try to send the power to the back, but its still an open center diff, so the torque will take the path of least resistance and it will dump the power on the ice in the front and not push off the pavement in the back, this is if its a steep hill. They talk about it like it WILL send the power to the back, but actually it only TRIES to but physically it cannot. The WRX STi with the DCCD is still the best AWD system of any car excluding trucks with their transfer cases because the DCCD can lock up and send power where its needed no matter what. The STi if on jack stands with only one wheel attached will drive off the jack stands, where as the Atlas is the opposite, if you take only one wheel off, it will send all the power to where the missing wheel is and not drive of the jacks.
Rick LeRoy Thank you Rick. I’m thinking of installing a limited slip diff on the rear axle when it comes off warranty if available. Do you think it would be worth it?
Simbagator,
You have the best winter tires money can buy with the Hakkapeliitta. I have been using them for about 15 years now and I am 70 years old with more than 2 millions Km driven collision free :)
@@youcansendme-a-letter >or an open center for the CVT
Subarus with CVT has no center diff but uses clutches instead, similar to the one used on Atlas.
>where as the Atlas is the opposite, if you take only one wheel off, it will send all the power to where the missing wheel is and not drive of the jacks.
That's open diff behavior. Once again, the atlas uses a clutch pack to deliver torque to the rear, which your case will act as a hard connection between front and rear.
How????
See alot of these on the road now in Ontario
Bonjour
Hey I was wondering where is your Honda Pilot review if anyone can tell me that would be great!
Nice
I don't think it sends 100% of power to rear, only up to 50%
Up to 100% but limited to 265lb-ft of torque.
My Alltrack can only send up 50% to the rear. I thought is was the same Haldex system used in the Atlas?
Maybe they should try this out on icy roads covered in snow?
Not many people drive on frozen lakes in their day to day life
MR D good point but this video is just marketing a product.
Come to MN. Our icy roads covered in snow aren’t any different from that frozen lake. We drive on the frozen lakes too
In July 2018, I purchased a VW flagship version of Teramont 530V6 (2.5T) in Shenzhen, China. While I driving to 4000 kilometers, a brake failure was found. At the same time, I found that the engine was seriously leaking oil and EPC light turned on. The whole vehicle suddenly stopped running two times so far, You have to restart before you can drive. The problem has not been completely solved by looking for manufacturers and distributors many times. This problem brings a lot of troubles to my life, and I lose my confidence in Volkswagen. This case can be used for your reference when you want to buy a SAIC Volkswagen.
Very roomy interior but ugly as hell.
Given cash or free vehicle ? Nice infomercial!
Lead the pack in that monstrocity! No thanks!!!
Don't buy that SUV PERIOD. Unless you want to have problems
Have had mine for over a year - no issues - Beats everything else in it's class - sorry if your experience was different. I know a few people have had problems but that unfortunately can happen with any vehicle - especially one in it's first model year.
You wrote this 2 years ago. Ad long as we've had ours. Zero issues..
what's with the stupid music instead of commentary?
Nothing intelligent to say for that time period ?
You should use this as the opening music: "Atlas, Rise!" ua-cam.com/video/pHjw0Q7F8rA/v-deo.htmlm31s
