Yep, we already did a full review of the new Subaru Ascent! And a lot of you requested the diagonal test! But here in Québec winter was so fast that it's full of snow everywhere already! So a few pointers before you judge:
1- That Subaru Ascent is equipped with non-studded Toyo OBSERVE GSI-5 winter tires. We could equip it in time with Nokian's Studded tires but that's gonna be for another time!
2- This is NOT a 50/50 AWD system, it's Active Torque Split AWD! This system employs a multi-plate transfer clutch that maintains a 60/40 front/rear torque split and uses a range of sensors to automatically adjust this split on-the-fly as conditions warrant, creating more predictable handling. The Active Torque Split AWD places the focus on ease of operation, fuel efficiency, and reliability.
3-- It never gave up, a lot of AWD system will give up after 30 secs to 5 min of testing. This one hold on like the Millenium Falcon over time!
4- X-mode définition: X-MODE controls the engine output, transmission, AWD torque split and braking system to help tackle the trickiest of conditions and bring even more rugged capability into sharp focus
5- Snow condition: You can't see it, but it was slippery as hell! Black ice under 3-10 cm of fluffy light snow and ultracold temperature! Our cameraman froze its fingers in a few minutes outside.
6- That hill: More than 6' hight at the top, big banking that can send a car rolling! So getting sideways in it is not a good idea!
7- Break-Over angle, with so much ice, physics send the Ascent sideways and we don't want to have the top of the hill in that middle point where we would get stuck! We don't like to call for help with a Subaru!
8- In 2019, we will do a regular diagonal test on a tarmac to be fair, expect similar performance to the Subaru Outback!
So check out our about the Subaru Ascent AWD diagonal test in deep snow with X-mode!

Ever own a 4Runner? I'd be interested in your opinion between that and the Subaru. I'm looking at Ascents for better MPG, but seeing this one in the snow makes it hard to switch vehicles... I rarely have to deal with snow, so maybe that shouldn't be the deal breaker, but reliable off-road and winter capabilities are nice to have when you need them

So far, pretty disappointed !! my husbands Outback has been wonderful So sad .... possibly the Ascent is in high demand and quality control slipping Subaru??!

I was never a fan of the Subaru's Active Torque Split AWD system that splits 60/40- F/R, I'd prefer the Viscous coupling and 50/50. But they don't use that any more, :( still, this system performs excellent. Wonder does it shift power beyond 60/40 or is it always in that ratio???
@niuhuskieguy
@niuhuskieguy 5 жыл бұрын
It's a continuously variable torque split. I think Subaru puts a ratio on it because people seem to like that. If you ever see the signal from the solenoid that controls the transfer clutch, you will see it is never the same.

It can't do more than 40% to the rear. This is to protect the transmission as well. Calling it variable just means that it can modulate power with traction control and braking individual wheels side to side and front to back.

Спасибо за содержательное видео! Я живу в России и езжу на Субару Трибека в9.Привозилась в 2006 году в Россию "серыми" (полузаконными) дилерами.У меня вариант для Америки.Неудобно из-за разных систем измерения..Но это не мешает наслаждаться автомобилем! Жаль,что Ascent нет возможности купить в России. Хотя могут привезти .Но цена для меня будет как раз в два раза выше,чем для жителя США. Возьмите на обмен у нас ракет и ядерных бомб и пришлите нормальных авто !)))))))

Возможно Outback будет с новым двигателем 2.5 турбо. Хорошая альтернатива. У нас он точно будет продаваться.

this is whack! the AWD system now is just like the others. is it the traction-on setting that is making that happen? good times had it such that All Wheels actually Drive but now it's "let's send power to the wheel that needs it". not a bad machine though. i remain loyal to fuji always.

I was always a Subaru fan but when I did my research I found the CVT and boxer engine is a hit or miss so I went with the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 non EcoBoost just for reliability technology

Another good stuff about Subaru's SUV instead of snowmobile : - Second only to Volvo in safety. - Stable at high speed and cornering. - Easy DIY for service. The oil filter is top mounted. With a Fumoto valve and little hose to drain the oil, changing oil is as easy and as clean as changing windshield wipers. If you drive a Subaru SUV and you don't change oil DIY, you are a girl.

Watch 2:50 on with the steering wheel position on these Subaru tests. When the steering wheel is turn the Subaru stops movement. Which sucks when having to pull out of a drive way in the snow and into traffic. The Asymmetrical only works when steering wheel is straight ahead. The new electronic system are superior.
