Is Audi's Quattro AWD System Really The Best? I Slip Test The New A6 Allroad To Find Out!

The new Audi A6 Allroad carries on the tradition of offering a capable wagon with better ground clearance and a Quattro all-wheel drive system. Does this new model pass the TFL Slip Test with flying colors? In this video, Tommy tests the A6 Allroad's mettle on the roller test.

Does this not have the torsen differentials in the axles? Or is that only the center diff? something isn't right here-- Torsen's should not slip while being driven.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

@@calholli It doesn't have center diff at all, there's a clutch pack. If there was torsen - it would be slipping much more. Front and rear diffs are open.

[@calholli]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers From what I've seen, the torsen's don't slip once they are being driven. They are free to spin at different speeds around corners, but once the engine is driving power into them, they lock up-- because it uses a type of worm gear; that can slip one direction, but not the other. I assumed that all Audi quattro systems used this.. apparently they have different set ups. Why they still call it "quattro is beyond me. smh.

[@anthonymrskipt9252]

I have to say that I used to be more of a fan of this test. The test of the Y seemed to suggest that the front wouldn’t get power if the rears were spinning. After a winter of driving in snowy Park City, I have yet to experience any situation where my Y didn’t seem to send power to the front so close to instantaneously that it truly feels like rear-biased AWD to me. My V90 Cross Country has yet to find a situation where it can’t get traction in the snow. Both have snow tires. Although my Allroad was the earlier version, we never had an issue with traction in snow and mud in VT. I have no doubt that you can get any car stuck if you try hard enough, I truly wonder if this test is really just a test of this test and not really all that applicable to real world low traction situations. I do definitely believe you guys are treating all cars the same - this is not a comment about your honesty or independence.

In the EU, these wagons and their VW brothers are very popular as people there do care how their vehicles drive. These vehicles do amazing in the snow when equipped with snow tires.

Great Video! Its interesting to see how the drive modes are dramatically changing the awd performance. My 2016 Q5 doesnt have any drive modes so id be curious to see if the more basic of the traditional Quattro systems will do better.

[@calholli]

The true "quattro" system with the torsen diffs will do far better. It uses a "worm gear" type setup, so the wheels can slip while going around corners, but when the engine is driving them, they will lock every time. I thought all audi "quattro's used that old system, but I guess not. They just use the name to fool me. smh

I salute you for doing these roller tests. They are a good baseline test, however, they are only 50% of the story (I should know, I worked for several auto manufacturers and used to conduct them). Few things you didn't cover: 1. quattro is NOT ONE SYSTEM. There are at least 5 different quattro systems that have been made in the past decade: Haldex, crown-gear center differential, viscous coupling, ultra, and the venerable Torsen system (the most capable). You should specify WHICH quattro system you are covering. 2. This vehicle uses Audi's ultra quattro system, the most economy-focused system. It's front-drive biased unlike the Torsen and crown-gear, which are rear-biased and are more capable. 3. Most roller tests do not take into account ENDURANCE. There are many vehicles I have tested that do well on rollers, but out in the real-world their AWD systems begin to fail (especially multi-plate clutch systems). This is because virtually all clutch-based systems will disengage an axle if they overheat due to 1.) high resistance being applied 2.) the system being engaged for long periods of time. Case in point. xDrive is one of my favorite systems. They do awesome in roller tests. However, after extended use, like any multi-plate clutch system, they can overheat and the clutch will disengage. Here's a video that demonstrates that: (Fast forward to 15:00 min in and turn on the CC translation to your preferred language). At about 15:15, the front wheels stop spinning. The clutch has overheated. Then compare to 4MATIC and Torsen-based quattro immediately after. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2OscmCjoZaBm8U

I'm a Jeeper (4 last vehicles), but if (for some odd reason) I "had to" chose a AWD system for a mostly highway driven estate wagon I would personally have chosen an Audi with a Quattro®/Thorsen system before a VW/Skoda/Volvo with a Haldex system. Why? The Thorsen is a permanent and mechanical with self-locking center differential while the 4-motion is on-demand and electronically activated clutch.

I see the 'quattro" name on all kinds of audi stuff/ I just assumed that meant that they were putting that torsen system in everything. I guess the marketing team got me good, being an outsider looking in. Why call your set up "quattro" if you're just yet another brake actuated traction control, and a clutch diff? Its just like everything else out there. The Acura "SH-AWD system is far better that these.. The old torsen is likely the best solution, but apparently they don't even use them. lol fml

Get dad to throw a little weight behind it. Anyway, the results make sense since the all-wheel drive is front wheel dominant. Unfortunately, those rear wheels don't get enough power distribution for only one wheel to pull you out of trouble.

This did well, but not as well as the original Quattro system with locking center and rear differentials, or the locking rear and torsen center. The electronics on modern cars are wonderful in everyday driving situations, but don't hold up to more demanding situations like the overbuilt original system could handle.

And by that I mean that the car are moving (sideway, forward) and the traction varies seconds by seconds. The reaction time to detect the traction is more important in all wheel drive, but this roller test is pretty old school IMO. It would be a better test, if all the wheels would be on roller and some computer would varying the traction of the rollers, depending on the situation we want to simulate. What do you think?

Definitely a car I want and wish I could afford. The AWD performed very well and if I needed anything more I'd be looking for a true off roader while this car is a jack of all trades.

[@erichtisnado1536]

Yeah I got an '07 A4 Avant. It would be pretty stuck in all of these tests. Full quattro with Torsen center diff, and 'brake diff lock' between the front wheels and 'brake diff lock' between the rear wheels. The quattro is great for handling on pave in dry and rain, but as soon as things get too slippery, it wouldn't pull the car out of being stuck. I still won't do without it, and it does better than Haldex part time quattro, but it's not going to take you rock crawling. I take this car skiing and camping in some remote places, but it would spin tires and get stuck if anything got a wheel in the air. I think the real problem with my gen car is that the brakes just can't clamp down tight enough to stop a spinning wheel very well.

[@peglor]

@@erichtisnado1536 Haldex will do significantly better than torsen in really slippery conditions because there's no centre differential to slip,so it's the same as having a locked centre differential (Provided you don't cook the Haldex clutch). The car failing the three wheel slip test with rear wheel only grip is down to bad software unless the ABS can't brake the rear wheels independently, which seem unlikely to me as one of the main ways stability control adjusts the car during a slide is by braking the rear wheels independently. Where Haldex style 4WD falls down is during performance road and gravel driving where there is not quite enough grip for the power being put down as the Torsen bias ratio allows the system to smoothly maintain traction without any brake interference. With Torsen setup, when there's no grip at all at a wheel, the torsen will act like an open differential.

@@tallll70 lol I understand what you are saying but what he did and the way he did it is so stupid don't you think, even though it doesn't hurt anything. Before getting in the car initially, If he had latch the seatbelt and kept it latched the entire time without wearing it, it would look smarter on him, therefore no seatbelt chime while talking and easy in, easy out, less fuss. Some ppl don't use their brain for the simple things lol
