Honda CR-V Real Time AWD Roller / Slip Test | Do not turn TCS OFF!

[@CarQuestion]

Honda CR-V AWD Roller / Slip Test notes: In the first test where only one wheel has traction, turning TCS On or OFF has no impact. But as the test was more difficult: we recommend that you leave the gear selection in the D position, leave TCS ON, and hold it. If you turn TCS OFF, get ready for a smoke show or an AWD warning message. The CR-V required full throttle applied to get over some roller test. This test is made to show how the Real Time AWD will react under the hard circumstance and it doesn't change the fact that the CR-V is an awesome compact SUV. The 3 Wheel slip test failed since we had to roll on the rollers.

Can you do the same test with a Subaru Forester please?

[@user-qw4jy1oy9r]

@@wootwoot5032 Subaru Forester is equipped with well proven 4WD setup and pass this test without any problems.

[@albertomolina6216]

Great test. A clearly improvement from honda with its 4x4 traction system. Previous models could not accomplish this test...

[@normt430]

But it still overheats!

[@ttaser1]

I had watched a video before that showed that he couldn't take off from the rear single wheel. I thought it was like this. Until I watch this video. Congratulations. Daha önce arka tek tekerden kalkış yapamadığını gösteren bir videoyu izlemiştim. Böyle olduğunu düşünüyordum. Bu videoyu izleyene kadar. Tebrikler.

[@vipeboy2003]

Yes! Finally tests in reverse!

[@lilpeppa117G]

Three wheel slip test is why i traded my crv for a forester

[@jackrandom4893]

I have a 2018 Outback and I'm starting to have it burn oil. I only have 22k miles on it.

[@martinr8278]

Good choice! Haven’t heard of oil burning issue since the 2012 but people want to keep this in the spotlight…..kinda like COVID Subaru has a better AWD system. You’d be safe from the 2014 on. Newer ones are a beast. Especially outback wilderness.

[@zogadwoe]

Crv not designed for off-road..I worry it won't do well in snow. Will keep my 2020 Crv touring home and drive my 2020 Subaru ascent limited during snowy days. I feel more secure with my Subaru

[@martinr8278]

Agreed!

[@michaelholly88]

Never liked the crv anyhow. Drive one and drive a pilot and it’s no comparison and not a huge difference in price. The Awd system on the pilot is noticeably better too, can see in real time which wheels are getting the torque and it has no hesitation or delayed response

[@sledforpeace]

Nice to see it in reverse!

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

I’ve always liked Hondas, but it seems kind of Like “ let’s have the system send 1.1% of the drive to the rear wheels, so that it will be totally useless but we can still legally say it’s AWD.“

[@AmigodaCRV]

Eu tenho uma CRV 2011, fiz até um canal para ajudar os proprietários. Muito legal os vídeos de vocês sobre tração, bem completo e esclarecedor. Infelizmente a minha é LX 4x2.

[@pedrilogo8098]

Can y’all put the acura mdx on the rollers please, thanks

[@brandonczw]

a very front-biased system... as with a lot of compact suvs.

[@karll4823]

Very good demonstration video! Do you (anyone) think Honda will redesign the CRV for 2022?

[@Lucky8s]

It was just facelifted in 2020 so you'll have to wait until at least 2023.

[@OutdoorFun01]

J'adore ce test!!!

[@bilgeaydos]

Can you test 2016 CRV 1.6 i dtec automatic transmission?

[@tsidensurgeon5723]

The blue stand is incomplete !!! So the CRV did not pass the test with one free rear wheel! Honda has the worst AWD !!!) Thank you for watching!)

[@CarQuestion]

no the stand is complete and it roll, it's length has no impact. Anyway problem solved we create 3 new roller this weekend.

[@WX4GPS]

Would this system be of use in heavy rains and such when you hit a patch of rain on your right wheel , if the system take s a bit to beside to activate? vs a system like Subaru where it's active all the time.

[@sdfasdfvccvvc]

Thanks for the video, looks like it's yet another light duty AWD system, it is not even programmed to quickly brake spinning wheels and overheats easily. Honda could've just added special mode where the program would brake the free spinning wheels faster, pretty disappointing that they did not do even this.

[@Flo-fi5ih]

Sacre systeme, je ne connais pas du tout Honda. La fiabilite est la? Il y a une video sur ce modèle? Merci pour ce test

[@eldarz.6584]

А можно такой же тест на Линкольн Навигатор третьего поколения? Т.е. 2007-2014. Просто у меня 2013 в длинном кузове.

[@tr3vorb438]

I’ll stick with my 4x4 thanks😉

[@martinr8278]

Why is there only one roller bar in the back at 5:42 (and on the blue colored roller bars) before contacting stationary grid?

[@CarQuestion]

We work with what we have, and it's really hard on the roller. We will be back with a similar roller this year since, we damaged one. But it still manages to simulate a slippery condition.

[@martinr8278]

Okay. Thanks. Was curious since most have three rollers front and back when tire is in the center. Look forward to your next video.

[@ryanhaines7682]

Where did u get the rollers? I would love to buy a set

[@CarQuestion]

Custom made out of big conveyor

[@OutdoorFun01]

@@CarQuestion I see a lot of the roller test where the last tire ( not having the roller) might slightly be off ground ( less weight). If it is at same elevation' maybe it would perform ( in general) better. Food for thought. J'ai une crosstrek outdoor que je pourrais peut-être te prêtter... 😉

[@thejake8099]

Poor, Honda should be ashamed...they need to dump whatever system that is and just put their IVTM-4 in all of their vehicles, at least then they could rival Subaru

[@normt430]

Still wouldn't pass this test. Neither would Acura SH-AWD.

[@jeffmeisterr]

I know what you did to get it off the rollers on one wheel. Not too obvious, very clever lol

[@quidambrujah]

I noticed the roller placement was off for a couple of those 3 wheel slip tests... all the one wheel had to do was nudge the car up until the wheel on the one roller could catch on the ramp... I'd call that a bit of a cheat.

[@martinr8278]

[@rolexr]

Reacting really slow - not like a Subie Forester for example!

[@martinr8278]

[@TheTechGuruCan]

Poor AWD system due to excessive wheel spin to engage

[@drunksquirrel2051]

Subaru: "Yeah... What took you so long?

[@SeanAlegator]

For the price point, pretty terrible awd system. A cheap vehicle like the equinox destroys this thing. Looking forward for the new gen crv because I'm excited.

[@TMS5100]

Not a serious AWD system. Just another FWD biased offroader. And LMAO at the AWD warning.

[@pandaland1]

You can kind of see that it’s front wheel biased

[@jovandjukic5923]

Jeep Compass 2020 ???

[@MrMcbilal]

Crv is not an offroad vehicle. So the awd system is more than enough for what it is.

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

Wrong. Honda’s all wheel drive system is dead last in terms of performance. Literally ever other manufacturer has a better all wheel drive system. The test shows how easy it would be to get stuck if you were in sand or snow. Here on the Gulf Coast, we have awd SUV’s and crossovers for beach driving. Much like the north have awd for snow. This awd system would be almost useless. Loose sand would render this system inoperable in reverse.

[@thejake8099]

IVTM-4 is Honda's as well, it should be available in all Honda's

Pathetic awd system... I guess nothing beats full-time 4wd with 3 locking diffs

Useless crap! Guys, can you also test the 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring (AWD hybrid)? Spoiler alert: it failed TFL slip test similar to yours.

[@kx8960]

Sadly, I'm not impressed..and I just bought a 2025 CR-V EX for my daily AND going over a 9,300ft pass to work...in the snow. It's purely a software issue, EASILY fixed, and one that Jeep, Subaru, and Land Rover HAVE fixed. WTF Honda??? If it sucks going over the pass, I'll sell it and get something better. I'm sure my 2010 RAV4 AWD V6 would NOT have had these issues, ESPECIALLY as I could lock the center diff to 25mph.
