2021 Subaru Crosstrek - Winter Diagonal test

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Outdoor.
Winter Diagonal test with ON/OFF X-mode.
Winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 studded.
Slow and steady to see the AWD modes in action. Never floored it.

Amazing engineering on those differentials. My Subaru got me through some of the worst snow storms. Another Subaru on the way. I can't wait.

[@vedder10]

I really appreciate this video. As a proud owner of my second Subaru Outback, many of the videos posted do not apply the Subaru AWD system to scenarios that 95% of owners will encounter. Here in the north east our winters have been short and less burdened by snow. However when snow does happen a Subaru AWD system is more than adequate to handle just about anything encountered. So for me having the practicality of better fuel economy and more agile maneuverability, in supermarket parking lots, is an advantage that led me to my choice of an Outback versus a traditional SUV.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

Smart buy for sure, Even in heavy rain they hold better. Next ride I'm going back to a Crosstrek. The Outback is a thought, but I don't care as much about the more luxury part of it.

[@oddities-whatnot]

I had the Outback, it was fabulous. Sadly due to financial circumstances had to downsize to the Impreza RC hatchback, which is still a good car at least.

[@rkr894able]

He does have Winter tires: HUGE KEY would be his Plates "Quebec" winter tires are mandatory by end of DEC 30th. He also mentioned this in description "Winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 studded" I am bit upset too as I thought it was all-seasons as it slipped so much - but black ice like he mention above may be a huge factor.

Great video! I just got a 2021 Crosstrek a few weeks ago and have been enjoying the latest Montana snowfall. I don't have snow tires yet and haven't really explored all the X-mode options yet but it definitely gets around town very well.

[@99subigt]

Let me tell everyone that even if you have a Subaru or not if you don't have the right tires then you are stuck, i have seen subarus, Audi, BMW X and trucks 4x4 or AWD and so on getting stuck or not even performing a simple task that a FWD with the right tire could, I'm in Pa and we just got hit with 20-22 inches of snow in 2 days, I live on a one way street with cars parked on both sides of the street, I literally while shoveling snow I saw a wrx, a brand new Impreza sedan with its dealer tags and a crosstreck getting stuck at different points of my block and times, a really good all season tire makes a Subaru good, a all weather tire makes a Subaru great, a good winter tire makes a Subaru a beast, I am a proud owner for the past 11 years of a 99 Subaru legacy GT 5spd that had 70k when purchased and now with over 240k with original motor and transmission with general altimax artic snow tires and its a beast, also 3 months ago just purchased a 2015 Subaru legacy 3.6R with 78k that came with brand new Michelin pilot sport all season and I am so disappointed at tires, again at the tires and not the car, I don't mess with safety so pay for snow tires or pay for the shop to repair you car. Good video👍 subaru💪💪 your tires are studded right? That's beast mode to the next level😂

[@csanadbarczy9153]

Snow tires are like night and day. AWD or 4×4 makes no difference if you have the wrong tire on. Also in Europe it's mandatory to use snow tires in the winter even if you don't get any snow. FWD with snow tires is pretty impressive as well.

[@OutdoorFun01]

Here too, it's mandatory to have winter tires on. So all the cars and trucks needs them in our province of Quebec, Canada.

[@Madman6505]

Great video! I just bought a 21 Outback Onyx XT 2 days ago. I came home from work today with snow up to my knees at the end of my driveway from the snow plow going by all day. It was the nastiest, heaviest snow I've plowed with my ATV in 3 years. It had been snowing with freezing rain and sleet mixed in all day long. I got stuck. I calmly engaged the "deep snow and mud" X-mode. (For some reason, the Onyx XT is the only outback with this mode, and it is the singular reason I picked the Onyx trim.) I drove right out! I might not have got stuck at all with winter tires, which I have already ordered.

[@subielife4life]

dual xmode(deep snow/mud) allows for more wheel spin compared to regular xmode, that's the only difference between regular xmode and dual xmode. You can actually achieve the same results with regular xmode by simply turning Traction control off when xmode is activated, which allows for more wheel spin just like dual xmode....but I guess most people dont really know how traction control works nor do they know how or when to turn it off. So i guess Subaru is trying to make it easier for those people to go offroading.....and really thats the whole reason behind xmode, to make it easier to offroad. Cuz when you think about it...people were going thru deep snow and mud in Subaru's way before xmode came out....

[@subtle.banter]

Love this car! Awesome video.

[@Bob-Maplethorpe]

Fantastic video. Time to go to my local dealership.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Thanks for the video! AS an owner of a 2013 Impreza 2.0 Limited I appreciate the test. I have many family members with Subaru's of various ages and have found that the newer ,models rely so heavily on computer assist traction control that the system is getting "bogged down" by complexity. That goes to say that with my older model and no X-Mode/ electronic AWD it does great in winter living in Toronto, Canada. Having driven my family members vehicles ranging from Crosstrek's to Outback's (newer model years) in the snow I do notice a difference in reaction. It is at times beneficial and in others not so much. Another HUGE area is TIRES! I'm almost certain you have All-Seasons on that Crosstrek. In conditions like your test that would be best suited for snow-tires. Then I would love to see how the test results differ. Thanks again, stay safe and healthy!

[@OutdoorFun01]

[@RKmndo]

Even my 2016, with no X-Mode, is impressive on slippery roads, hills, and off-camber climbs. It can lift a tire or two and continue climbing. I just have to keep applying gentle throttle and let the TCS computer vector the torque. My Jeep YJ wouldn't continue climbing once a wheel or two lifted unless I packed heavy cargo in the back...until I installed a lunchbox locker in the rear. I'm planning on a rear lunchbox locker for the Crosstrek too, even though it will never be the offroader that a steel-armored open Jeep can be. I'm also trying to figure out some anti-swaybar disconnects for the Crosstrek. It already has skids, AT Trails, and a winch.

[@ramzrosales2157]

[@mikedeanb]

I came here from watching the TFL vid about this same Crosstrek. I don't understand them. Either they are being petty because Subaru of America stopped working with them, or they really don't know what they're doing ... which could be the reason that SOA stopped working with them. Good video, thanks for posting.

[@tma2290]

Yeah, I don’t their AWD test really translates to real world conditions.

[@rivercitymetaldetecting9854]

They got a loaner for testing with Subaru, did things outside of what they agreed to with Subaru in regards to testing parameters, and ultimately damaged the vehicle. That is why Subaru won't work with them.

[@mitch1348]

Jealous of those studs - would help so much on the snow pack. Banned in Wisconsin (but then again, we don't get snow like you guys do).

[@OutdoorFun01]

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 (studless) is about the same thing (did have them on other Subaru). With the studs, it does give it a bit more traction. I have an other video (manual vs cvt). The manual Crosstrek as the R3.

[@bubbalo3388]

Had a front wheel drive car once and I had studded tires all around plus cables in the front. It was a bad winter and a lot of snow and I went up long steep hills with ease and stopped on a dime.

[@OutdoorFun01]

Indeed. One who has the best car, even with awd or 4x4, without good tires the vehicule could be unsafe or just plain boring to drive. Most of the time, the price difference is only a few bucks. Exemple: It cost me 265$ Canadian per tire with tax (15% here) and installed. Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV 225/60/17. The cheapest tire would of been about 200$ and it doesn't include a front bumper and higher rate insurance after accident. Hahah!

[@conantdog]

I've had two Subaru wagons . When Subaru builds a modern engine layout I will buy another. If Subaru put a Toyota motor in their car I'd by another. Great video 👍

[@hermanjohnson9180]

This is a nice demonstration. Once you understand how AWD works, then you figure out that without traction control is almost useless off-road.

[@OutdoorFun01]

The last pass was with traction control (x-mode 2). In some situations, keeping the wheels spinning helps the car continue it's momentum and digs down for grip.

[@hermanjohnson9180]

@@OutdoorFun01 I agree. The AWD systems lack the torque (there's never torque multiplication via gear reduction) but allows for maneuvers and use of momentum that a 4WD vehicle could never do safely.

[@xtrekadventure8225]

I agree with you, I have a 4Runner and this is the first year, because of circumstances, I didn't put snow tires on, and the AS are HORRIBLE. In ice, the winters help a lot, but anything else, forget it. Next year those things will be on in Oct. LOL

[@michaelmalus5041]

True but not all scenarios will allow you to have momentum. Thats the point of this video.

[@MrJohnnyArcher]

We are Long time Subaru owners, and when we get winter storms in Long Island, I never hesitate to drive any of our Subarus. Subaru has the Best AWD imho, but of course…type and condition of Tires matter also. (Our Forester and Outback are both running AT tires)

[@rjhein]

Thanks for posting! Just a question - is there a way to use the deep snow/mud mode with traction control on as well? I was looking for that test and see you didn't do it (or post it anyway)

[@OutdoorFun01]

Traction control turns off automaticly in that setting and cannot be turned on. That is how it should be, since wheel slip is the best way to have full power and keep momentum.

[@rjhein]

@@OutdoorFun01 Interesting... Ok so at 2:02 in the vid you had it on in Snow/Dirt Xmode, so I'm guessing it allows it in that mode, just not in the deep snow/mud mode - is that correct?

[@OutdoorFun01]

@@rjhein Yes. That is right. 😉

[@cindynichols27]

Seems as though you should have been driving on fresh snow each time; surely using x mode to go over ground you had already driven without x mode skews the results, since the snow will be different and have grooves?

[@OutdoorFun01]

We were moving off a little. It's steeper than it might look.

[@Mr.Mikey.Holiday]

This past winter snow storm, 32 inches. I saw quite a few crosstrecks stuck on the unplowed highway as i drove past them in my blizzak equipt 2011 prius.

[@michaelcrz1430]

Thanks for sharing, I am considering buying a used Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. What is your take on that?

[@OutdoorFun01]

There's not much of gain in gas mileage, unless you commute close by maybe. Would be handy of you need some electricity if going camping. I prefer the 2.5 engine because it has that much more HP for carrying my roadtrip gears and flooring it when it is needed 😄 I would suggest trying them out. They both drive the same. Then there's looks... that's up to you. I think all the new crosstrek will come with the 2.5 next gen. Up to you! Enjoy! Get winter dedicated tires if you want real awd fun in winter!

[@BlPlN]

One thing I want to mention that a lot of people seem to forget or just not know when it comes to newer Subarus... The vast majority of time, it ain't the torque converter giving out under load. Too many people don't give the AWD computer - which can be slow at times - to figure itself out and apply torque where it needs to go. Just stay on the gas, don't floor it, and you'll be fine. Worst thing you can do is take your foot off the gas too early, as these cars really like momentum - even if it's a mere crawl. This is a good illustration of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbYhqippL2kn7c

[@carlguile2856]

Only problem is the dealerships. I tried to buy an outback and a xtrek from 2 different dealerships, Kalifornia and Nevada. Both times the internet poc was fantastic and both times the dealerships had me walking in less than 10 minutes. Once when on-site in Kalifornia and once over the phone in Nevada. Too bad… sent a note to corporate and got a survey back which had nothing to do with my feedback.

[@kenhoward3512]

As noted - but it should be emphasized - this test is with *winter* tires, not all-season. 'Makes a big difference.

[@Crimsontraum7]

I have a 2012 XV. It doesn't have any of this fancy kit. When things get a bit dicey, the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light comes on. Does this mean I'm very close to getting bogged in snow/ice?

[@OutdoorFun01]

This means your car is applying brakes to wheels that are spinning, so wheels with traction will get more power. You might of felt like power was almost cut to crawl... just floor it. You might want to turn OFF traction control, then the wheels will spin and keep momentum. Have fun!

[@barrybarnes96]

Can you still get a Crosstrek with a manual trans? Can't bring myself to buy anything else.

[@OutdoorFun01]

You can watch my next vid. Manual vs cvt. Yes. In the base model, it's available. But only with the 2.0 litre motor. My model features the 2.5 cvt.

[@losopadre971]

Might be a silly question, but, when you on a regular hill, at a light and you’re at a stop, does the car want to roll back or does is stay in place when you release the brake? 30days out from purchase and this is something I’d like to avoid in my next purchase. Thanks in advance!

It has auto brake lock. So when you release the brake, the car holds in place for a little while. It doesn't roll back.

I rather have the 2.5 liter sport (outdoor in Canada). It makes a huge difference. The duel x-mode is nice, but not so much of a difference for me since most of the time I never use it and just turn traction control off. The video does make it justice though. For me, power, tuffer transmission and neoprene like seats was the deal breaker.

[@RKmndo]

@Twilight 8368 Yeah, I don't view most AWDs as serious offroaders, mostly because they don't have steel armor, and a 2.0L Crosstrek seems a bit low-performing for rally, IMO. I view my Crosstrek as better for exploring and overlanding, and commuting in the worst weather. I'm currently getting 37-39MPG with my 2016 CVT Crosstrek, which is about 5MPG better than the EPA rates it. A rooftop box and 2" hitch means I can also haul luggage, toys, or construction supplies with 3-4 passengers in this little car. I can't complain. I CAN add aluminum skids/rockers, winch, LSDs, lift, mudders, and more if I want to get further off the beaten path, but a cheap old Jeep with lockers would still be less susceptible to expensive damage or getting stuck. It's still a fun and versatile car though. A 6spd manual with a mild turbo could be a hoot.

[@JCANPetros]

Great point...the first couple times cleared most of the snow. Each attempt after just making it easier for the next.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@RKmndo Add an auto locker and these things get very capable. I have an 06 Forester with a 1" lift and 2" bigger tires. I don't have the locker yet. But I have never had an issue on Class 4 trails and I've done pretty well on many Class 5s here in Utah. It has its shortcomings, but it's more capable than a stock Wrangler with open diffs and road friendly pseudo AT tires that many run.

[@Endurorodzndubz]

Question for people in the know, can you still drive with studded tires when you get to a clean but of road, or do they just heat up and melt the tire?

[@OutdoorFun01]

The studs won't melt the tires even if there's no snow. In my part of the country, we have a restricted date range we are allowed studs tires on the road. It is mostly because of the damage it can do to the road. For safety reason, and for your tires life span, you should change the tires for all-season or summer tires when off winter period.

[@haymantaylor7583]

Studs are little spikes made of tungsten-carbide ( the same thing drill bits are made of). They are very very hard. Think about how soft rubber is. That's what the tire is made out of. Compare a drill bit to anything made of rubber. Drill bit wins every time. Studs will usually wear down slower than the tire, because the studs are considerably harder than any rubber can be. Think about a rubber tire on an ice rink. It doesn't matter what the tread pattern is, if the ice is smooth, the tire has nothing to grab. Studs stick slightly out of the tire, and scrape into the ice, giving you traction to move forward. If there's no ice for them to scrape into, they will scrape the surface of the road instead. Roads are made of rock. Rock is pretty strong, but with millions of cars passing over it, even the soft rubber tires are made of wears away the surface of the road. If you drive a tire with studs on are pavement, the tire will be fine. The tires are designed to take the abuse of driving on solid rock. The studs have no problem being slammed into solid rock, as they are stronger than the road. The road, on the other hand, wears away incredibly fast when you have studs, compared to when you are using a rubber tire. TLDR: You could run studs all summer long if you wanted to, but if everyone did, they would have to replace the entire road every year due to damage. This post is a mess, but I feel I got the information out. Maybe not in the best order, but I think I got everything.

[@bubbalo3388]

You can drive on bare pavement with studded tires but you need to drive a little more cautiously and not speed, brake sooner and take corners more cautiously because you won't have the same grip on bare pavement as a regular tire because of the added metal studs which will make the tired more prone to skidding. If you ever wore plastic or metal kleated shoes before then you may understand what I mean that you get great traction on the field but once you get off the field and onto pavement the traction isn't very great if you try to run and stop. As far as keeping studded tires on for the season and driving on them daily, I would recommend to wait until you know bad weather is in the forecast before you put the on to prolong the life of the studs. They will last a few years depending on how much you drive on them on bare pavement. But the better condition you keep them in makes them more efficient for traction in snow and ice. If the studs ever wear down too far, you can have the tires restudded.

[@OutdoorFun01]

@@bubbalo3388 Thx for your insight. I feel the need to ad that this might be true to cheapo studded tire (they get rounded, used and pushed inside the tire or just falls out). But I recommend buying a good quality at this point. The ones I'm using are the top best on the market. The studs will last much longer than the rubber. I accelerate hard, brake hard when needed and drift at higher speed with them. They will last about 4 winters to 5 winter (could go more, but doing lots of milage and having fun). I install them early November until late April.

Two things I can say: First - Any car is has good has the tires limits. Second - X-mode really did a great job at managing the AWD. Finally, the car has proven me, again, to be reliable. Fits my needs in term of AWD, comfort and fun. That's what matters to me. Thanks for the great question!

I had a Mazda cx-3 and a Subaru cross trek. The Mazda would have rolled up that without one spin. I swear it’s ridiculously waaay better with traction control.

Many AWD vehicles wouldn't make it on DRY surfaces much less icy and snowy surfaces......

I'll do an other test after the spring on the pavement.

@@godgoo7861 Я сделаю еще одно видео о том, как развлекаюсь в снегу. Я люблю зимнее время. снег делает все ярким даже в пасмурные дни. I will make an other video of me having fun in the snow. I enjoy winter time. the snow makes everything bright even on cloudy days.
