2023 Subaru Forester e-Boxer | light off-road

Subaru Forester has symmetrical AWD, but it has no lock diferentials and as you can see, it could be the problem. In the video you can see (from time 4:18), that it doesn't always work out. There were two wheels alternately in the air (left rear and right front) and when it seemed that the electronics would brake the skidding wheel and the power could be transferred to the ones with traction, it grabbed the ground and confused the electronics. Various settings of the X-Mode system did not help either. If there is LSD, Subaru Forester will pass it.

Nice seeing a non wilderness touching dirt

[@Cuckoo_Nature_Hobbies]

Great video. Thanks.

[@luiseduardoruizdiaz8240]

Good video, thank you very much for sharing. It is shown that Subaru Forester has its limitations, it is not an off Road or 4×4 as it is, for example Toyota Land Cruise. That little slope could not climb.

[@christopherc7075]

Im pleasantly surprised to see how much it could do from stock, considering its not really supposed to do too much off road stuff without modification or tires...

[@jae58]

That sound! 😋

[@PeyoteVisions]

Well, put an off road tires and it will climb that little hill in no time. Nice vid, thanks!

[@saylsalcan2610]

Because of cvt it will never climb that hill unless he uses momentum....check out forester tests...only wilderness models can climb

[@DrivingCars]

you have to drive defensive, not so fast

[@kyanonburu.canonble]

@@DrivingCars What about engine acceleration, thrust, and accompanying sounds?

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

Should easily been able to slowly traverse that last incline,something went funky with that drive system.

i tried everything, no way

@@DrivingCars I just bought a 19 forester,put snow tires on up here in Northeast Ontario,Thing is unbelievably deadly in snowy,mountain icy roads.Why didnt i buy one years ago?

[@DrivingCars]

there is no problkem, when you have all wheels on the ground, but there are two wheels in the air. it's good car, i like it, but it has limits. :)

[@zenstoodi]

This engine is a little underpowered I think even 2.5l here would do the job like in Outback. I saw also trick switching to manual 2 gear and trying slowly crawling.

[@THANGLE_CATCOM]

I really like this car, but on the last slope why can't it pass? If the wheel touches the ground and rotates and loses grip, it is acceptable due to terrain factors, but it cannot rotate, why?

[@DrivingCars]

it has no LSD, so there are only open diffs and electronic

[@tomaskroupakkfoto4132]

Tjese days Subie are on newest Hladex level. Old one were way better.

Better With an Old Landrover For Offroad Fun ,As If You Smash a Subaru Up it Will Cost a Fortune to Fix,Better Just Use on Road

[@benyfernandez]

Ya he visto varios vídeos de este coche y tiene un problema grave con la electrónica para hacer un poco de offroad, parece como que no deja pasar de unas 2000 rpm y el coche no tiene par suficiente como para sacar el coche de algunas zonas

[@DrivingCars]

Ono nemá žádné uzávěrky diferenciálů, takže to všechno dělá přibrzděním kol. Ten problém na konci byl tím, že byla tři kola ve vzduchu, takže se snažilo je přibrzdit, ale protože se nakonec chytlo to jiné kolo, elektroniku to zmátlo a přestala dělat to, co původně. Kdyby byla ve vzduchu vždy ta tři původní kola a to jedno se nedotýkalo na střídačku povrchu, možná by to vyjelo. Jisté ale je, že to není auto do těžkého off-roadu, ale spíše jen někam na polní cestu.

[@GIJoe23]

There's a company in the US that makes a rear diff lock for this vehicle.. it's an absolute game-changer!

[@GIJoe23]

Google torq-masters... the part is not very expensive order it put it on the car and then remake this video😊

Al último no se por qué el conductor le hace sufrir al forester, si es amuy simple esa subida, sólo darle unos pequeños giros y ya está, no se...

[@DrivingCars]

trápí ho, protože se snaží otestovat čtyřkolku, aby věděl, co zvládne a co ne.

[@TheShengxun]

Why subaru struck at end? Did you try xmode

[@DrivingCars]

Yes, i tried everything- no X-MODE, X-MODE Snow/Dirt Mode and X-MODE Deep Snow/Mud Mode. Nothing helps. And why did it fail? Simple reason. Three wheels were on the ground, one in the air, so the electronics braked it in the air, the car moved, but at that moment another wheel went into the air, so it confused the electronics. And so round. If there will be LSD, there will be no problem.

[@TheShengxun]

[@Teresa-yb7yx]

Super auto.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Not designed as an off roader really, more for on road stability and safety with the AWD setup. Most who go proper off roading don’t do it in a leased Subaru. They get older 4x4s and modify them.

[@DrivingCars]

Few owners will drive it more than on a dirt road, but here you can see that the car can handle more. But it has its limits and quite soon.

[@CarlosRobertoRibeirodeAndrade]

A altura livre do solo não é adequada ao off road.

[@DrivingCars]

přijde vám 22 cm málo?

[@CarlosRobertoRibeirodeAndrade]

@@DrivingCars Você está falando de tamanho, mas o assunto é altura livre do solo. Melhor prestar atenção, se for capaz.

[@hanifbahari6606]

You definitly needed to get back and hit that hill again and faster.

yes, i will pass it, but it's not my car, so...
