SLIP TEST - Jaguar X-Type 3.0 V6 AWD -

[@cedricmertens8542]

There are 2 versions of the x-type: this model (2005 - 2009) which has an open center diff with computer controlled traction control (as an option) and the 2001 - 2004 models with viscous center diff. Those models had much better AWD. Clearly this model is a 2005 - 2009 model without the traction control option. I would love to see the 2001 - 2004 model too for comparison against this one.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

This one has open center differential but it also has traction control. Maybe in April we will compare it to the version with visco.

[@martinsvensson6884]

Come on.. all cars in that segment since like the late 90's have traction control as standard.

[@cedricmertens8542]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers That's great to hear! I would love to see the 2 compared against each other. Keep up the good work!

[@Marshal2909]

I had a visco version and I think it would have fared way better, it was basically constantly running 4wd to a quite large extend.

[@martinsvensson6884]

@@Marshal2909 Depends on what year. The early viscos were terrible. Since it needs speed difference between the axles to create the friction and "connect".

[@jerrynocon5198]

So it has three open diffs with occasionally working traction control 👌

[@scott8919]

Imagine selling an AWD system that only works as long as a wheel doesn't spin.

[@borjaevo]

Has not very good offroad capabilities, but it has handling benefits in road drive and this is a car. I think this is better than Haldex anyway if you drive your mainly in tarmac.

[@jaguarrroman]

X-type enjoys 3 types of traction control options: 1. Most prominent Dynamic Stability Control, which allows to drive the car on ice as if it were dry concrete. In this case ABS unit seriously differs from the other 2 options. 2. Traction Control still with a button near the gear stick/selector. 3. ABS only without a button near the gear stick/selector. It remains an open question, which one the subject car is equipped with (if any).

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

It had traction control button near the gear selctor.

[@jaguarrroman]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers The button can be either TC or DSC, which is not the same thing. Still you efforts to test an X-type will be appreciated by X-typers. Thanks.

[@gerlandkent6377]

[nice, looking jaguar]👍

[@bobrolfe1100]

Please test a Lexus IS, GS, or RC with the AWD system. I am curious to see how that system performs. Those cars have a permanent AWD with an electronically controlled planetary center differential (locking by electronically controlled hydromechanical clutch). Torque split is approximately 30/70 front/rear (exact ratio is 31/69) in straight line driving. The transfer case control unit adjusts the locking force applied to the hydromechanical clutch. Depending on the locking force, the torque split can range from the normal ~31/69 up to 50/50. This means that with a zero friction coefficient at either axle (like on rollers), virtually 100% of the engine power should be available at the opposite axle. Therefore, this should be a highly effective system.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

I would like to test these cars but it is hard to find them...

[@d0stawca]

[@eatsblades]

I think the earlier ones were permenant. But that does seem to be working... its sending it where its needed

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

This one is permanent to.

[@Softroader]

What year? If I remember correctly, it's a permanent awd transmission with a viscous couplingcontrolled centre differential and 40/60 torque split until 2004. After, the viscous coupling was removed and only a traction control system remains...

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

It's 2005, 40/60 open center differential.

[@Softroader]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers I thought so. Not very efficient, the traction control, I think

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

@@Softroader Yes, works OK only in diagonal and lateral situations.

[@Softroader]

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers Yes, but front-rear management is very important for all-wheel drive. It's a bit of a shame... Finally, this post 2004 Jaguar has taken +/- the transmission idea from the Ford Mondeo Mk I 2.0 TC4, one of the 1st (if not the 1st) car with a permanent all wheel drive system without any lsd and with only traction control system in 1994.

[@TheKeyess]

Very interesting results! It seems like this system favours sending power to the rear, a bit unusual for a FWD based system. I would suspect that the traction control tuning on this leans heavily towards driving feel, rather than all out traction.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

Yes, it favours the rear, torque split is 40/60 FR.

[@steve-wu7jp]

nice video! i wish you would also expand to off road test as well :)

[@mattyee9369]

What happens when you take a car that was designed rear wheel drive and add front wheel drive components. The rear wheel drive is favored and will push it through. However, when the rear wheels were on the rollers, the front had no power to pull it off.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

But it's FWD based, not rwd. Besides - it actually doesn't matter. What matters is the center differential type and traction control setup.

[@gerlandkent6377]

[thank, you for you're video]👍

[@na1677]

Interesting results.... Didnt expect it to have such difficulty shuffling power from simply front / back. Maybe an issue with center diff/coupling? Was this the manual or automatic transmission? Also did this model awd use Viscous-couplings or torsen difffs?

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

It is automatic transmission. No issues, this car has open center differential.

Well I had an 2005 model with the 3.0 AWD system and it wouldn't have reacted like this. Mine was permanent 4wd with a 60/40 split rear to front. Very sure footed and fun. What's the point in 4wd if the computer says "no"?

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

If it was 2005 then it was the same as this one.

@@4x4.tests.on.rollers LOL. No chance mine was like this. Sorry, but you clearly have a faulty vehicle there!

@@legpeguk It wasn't faulty. That's how ESP/TC works on this model.

Why would it be designed like that? Its pointless. Again mine was nothing like that. I had an auto.

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

@@legpeguk That's a question to Jaguar. Early versions had no ESP/TC but they had viscous center differential. Later versions got ESP/TC but the center differential was open so all work is up to traction control system which is not effective enough.

[@dzikudawca]

Witam, od dłuższego czasu nurtuje mnie pewne zagadnienie i może otrzymam na nie odpowiedź. Otóż przy napędzie 4x4 jak w tym jaguarze w momencie gdy nie może złapać trakcji i kręcą się koła powiedzmy tylne zostałby delikatnie wciśnięty hamulec to moment przeniósłby się na przednie koła? Jak coś to mam jaguara x-type 2.5 awd z 2004 roku, widziałem, że ktoś pytał o test. Mogę udostępnić w razie czego do testu. Kwestia tylko jak daleko od siebie mieszkamy :) pozdrawiam

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

Witam. Testowany egzemplarz ma otwarty centralny mechanizm różnicowy, w związku z czym rozkład momentu zawsze jest stały. Jeśli kręcą się tylne koła, a zostanie wciśnięty hamulec, przy jednoczesnym dociśnięciu gazu - można w ten sposób zwiększyć moment na obu osiach. Starsza wersja ma sprzęgło wiskotyczne w centralnym dyfrze, więc ingerencja hamulców nie jest potrzebna. Jesteśmy z Rzeszowa 🙂
