Duster Beats Mercedes GLC Coupe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJzWgoaFrs56fJY

[@DusterCoolTravels]

@m benz hard hitters - donell mase.

[@salmothymus]

Well, I wouldn't conclude anything from this...only that you all had a wonderful time😉... which is totally OK. Negative points for certain cars are more connected with driver's mistakes, and mounted tyres. My "feeling" is that Jimny seems most capable and both of those two stalls happened by driver's mistake (second one seems to be related with ice polished part of the tracks where he couldn't get enough grip. GLC's driver seems to have handled the car within the limits and used torque, grip and car's capabilities to the best 👍

[@dafyon1]

agree, also place where Dacia lost first point, driver chose the inner side of the curve which was steepest to climb and in second time the outer curve, which went fine, just like the other 2 cars. But for sure you guys had fun on the road :)

[@cosedan]

I knew from the beginning the winner. GLC cost 3 times the other cars, which means much more technology on board. It's not the pilot, its the all the stuff behind, electronic torque and grip control that makes the difference, as well as the weight

[@dafyon1]

@@cosedan your answer is pretty much nonsense.. the most important thing is the tyres, second thing is weight of the car, the heavier it is, the more difficult it will be to climb as you need more grip. These tests should be always done as similar conditions as possible, same tyres, same climbing speed in the beginning, same driver etc.. greetings from Finland with 30+ years driving experience in snow and ice.. here another video where Dacia basically beating Audi Q7 - price difference is? And always if minor differences those goes to tolerances, nobody wins.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWqqaaZZZx-rs0

[@laszlolorantfeher1957]

I agree, there are some trails where the Mercedes wouldn't dare to enter, and if the Duster enters, it will get bogged, but the Jimny would still be rolling on. And for the price of the Duster you can buy 2 or 3 Jimnies, and for the price of the Mercedes I don't even want to do the maths. So after all you are more brave to enter rough trails with the Jimny and it will give you much more fun offroad.

[@eugstefan22]

@@laszlolorantfeher1957 In my country the starting price of the Jimmy is the full option 4x4 1,5 Duster. So 2,3 Jimmies for a Duster is just not true

Just went for a test drive with a Duster today. I just might buy one, seemed just fine. Tested it to 145km/h and I must say that it is definately not as noisy as all the reviews say.

[@guyatkinson7442]

the reason Duster was third was bad driving the idea is not to brake traction not just get the wheels spinning as fast as will go

[@darklavisay3633]

Why did the duster driver always picked the hardest track ? :DD

[@dejanpetkovic564]

yes I AGREE.

[@TAER75]

That's what I ask myself. If the driver of the Duster had chosen the most logical path, he would have done just as well as the Mercedes. But he preferred to play the idiot and was too clever. Eso mismo me pregunto yo. Si el conductor del Duster hubiera elegido el camino más lógico, lo habrÍa hecho igual de bien que el Mercedes. Pero prefirió hacer el mongolo y se pasó de listo.

[@sveagle]

@@TAER75 Zudem hat der Duster Fahrer viel zu viel Gas gegeben, drehen die Räder erstmal durch, reißt die Haftung der Reifen ab und es ist aus, im Schnee sollte man immer mit möglichst wenig Leistung fahren, so das die Reifen nicht die Haftung verlieren. Fahre selber einen modifizierten VW Tiguan, bin mit dem Tiguan noch nie irgendwo stecken geblieben.

[@Vercingetorix45]

The Duster driver wasn't really doing his best, the Jimny looks like the most capable car and the driver only made a couple of mistakes, the Mercedes was having a hard time with its "fake" awd but the driver was able to exploit its potential to the fullest.

[@zepter00]

The Duster is beast ....its a law unto itself in snow and mud .....my friend has the 2022 entry level model front wheel drive ...where we live there is a long steep hill to get up into our street .....last year we had quite heavy snowfall and nothing makes it up this hill in snow ..there was all sorts of " all wheel drive" model cars stuck at the bottom ...my friends 2 wheel drive Duster flew up this hill like it was nothing ..amazing cars..

[@mariusstan7027]

1.La curba aceea unde dusterul si jimmy au piedut cate un punct, mercedesul a luat curba larga. Cand au luat si ei curba larga au urcat fara problema. Trebuie sa puneti si mercedesul sa ia curba stransa. 2. Spre final cand se "jucau" in zapada mercedesul nu a reusit sa ia curba la stanga, a facut la dreapta si a dat cu spatele. Imi pare rau dar ati fost subiectivi cu mercedesul.

[@jackiexray9489]

Why the Mercedes and the Suzuki always runs where the Duster has already made up the way? in a road full of snow, the first car makes the path and the others following have a easier work to do. Looking at this video I for would choose the Duster for sure between the three, just concerning how to approach a road full of snow.

[@naturschutz26]

Thanks, fine test! However, in such tests, it should be mentioned (or even better - taken into consideration) for each car: 1. Power of each car (KM) divided by the weight (KM/kg), 2. Torque - very important! (Nm) and divided by weight (Nm/kg), 3. Pressure on the ground (weight divided by area of tires (kg/cm2). GLS have for sure the biggest power and torque. Can the author of the video give these parameters? Each hill should be overtaken in different order (the 1st car can make it slippery on the hill, and the 2nd and 3rd car will have more problems. Or in the muddy ground - the 1st car have the easiest way). And very important - the drivers should not see how the previous driver conquered the hill, because when the first did something wrong - the second one will not do the same mistake. In this video Duster was mostly the 1st one, GLC second, Jimny 3rd.

[@robertnagy2456]

It was tires test.

[@martinb.770]

As impressive als the GLC did, considering its weight and lack of ground clearance, on the really icy parts you do see its limits. Weight is never good, when going abroad. So, why not show some curvy downhill passages, where the GLC has to show its breaking/slipping/sliding behaviour? The Duster does pretty well and shows that it will do the job for a typical ski holiday. The Jimny - did the driver activate the locks in time?!?! I am aware that an ESC/ESP + the many steps of the GLC transmission + torque can handle driving off the steep part somewhat more sensible, than 100% locked tires + 1 fixed gears + playing with the clutch. But the latter one should work without overheating or extra maintenance over many years in even more bad situations, especially when using offroad tires, that are probably not even available/allowed for the GLC (due to tempo limitations). So, this test is a nice show-off, but of limited message. If some rich family from town goes on winter holiday, the GLC is a perfect tradeoff, but the Duster will do, if the driver knows how to handle it.

[@zepter00]

But mercedes has double of power in Duster

[@martinb.770]

@@zepter00 Power cannot replace low weight, when going offroad. The moment, a vehicle loses grip, it doesn't matter whether it got 100hp or 300hp. But the car with 2200kg will start slipping when the 1300kg still goes on (with comparable tires and dimensions)
