Subaru Outback Wilderness Roller/Slip test | Best SUBARU AWD so far?

Subaru Outback Wilderness Slip Test note: Incredible traction but thanks to the famous Dual X-mode! Dual-function X-MODE can help get you out of sticky conditions like deep snow and mud, where a little wheelspin can be helpful. On the roller, you could feel how the power was sent to the only wheel with grip since the car was changing direction on the roller! It's among the best AWD system we had the chance to test on the roller. Just use the first X-mode and leave TCS on. If you want more momentum, use x-mode in Deep Snow/Mud Mode! As you can see, it can push our roller sideways and roll away!
Even if the Subaru Outback is not a rock climber like the Jeep Wrangler, it can handle itself pretty well in different off-road situations! All thanks to the new X-mode algorithm and to new all-terrain tires, this Subaru Outback can cross major off-road obstacles! The Subaru Outback has a mission: off-road domination and on the road! She's the most capable Outback ever! It is an authentic adventure vehicle, taken to a whole new level, with robust skills and supreme versatility.
Here is our Roller/Slip test of the Subaru Outback Wilderness, and find out why it's the wagon that dominates in the trail, including many SUVs!

[@CarQuestion]

@@kc0lif it's on all the time. There is no need to turn it off in regular driving either. Just when you get off-road or when you want to send it sideways on a nice blanket of snow!

[@MrPalamarek]

Great video! I own the Outback Wilderness, and I always use Deep Snow and Mud Xmode when off-roading as it offers the low end torque and power needed when moving over river rocks or up steep gravel/sand. It also really launches the car on the pavement...which is a secondary fun use of the 2nd Xmode.

[@gardenst4398]

If the car changes direction on rollers ( to the edges), is it a fair judgement to Best AWD? Cos in edges of rollers most cars would make it🙋🏼‍♂️

[@MrPalamarek]

@@gardenst4398 that car is able to change direction is due to the fact that it can send enough torque to the available wheel with traction, thereby, pivoting the car as there is no traction on the other 3 wheels. If it did not transfer enough power to the wheel with traction, the car simply would not move. This was stated by Car Question and is accurate.

[@jasonsong86]

Probbaly the best use of electronics to send torque to the gripping wheels in the industry. It's amazing how proper computer logic can make a relatively simple drivetrain setup work so well.

[@fubartotale3389]

I have been driving Subarus in Chacago for 30 years, and I have never been late for work due to snow ever. Never got stuck where I had to get out if the car, never had winter tires. I did put winter tires on my daughters Forester, and it goes through snow like a half track.

[@bingoberra18]

Winter tires are not only good for off the line traction but also braking and cornering. If there is an unforeseen situation it makes a big difference having winter tires in the winter. That is why it is mandatory in scandinavia.

[@xlthumper]

The 3 wheel spin reverse was achieved thru traction when it slid sideways. Yes it was transferring power well enough to the 1 wheel with traction to make it spin so the system is doing a great job channeling the power.

Great beast. But i wonder one thing, may be part of the success in the reverse test is due to the car sliding a bit sideways on the rollers and grabbing the edges so it gained grip?? I don't know Another thing, the test is brilliant, but if you could do some trials in an incline it would be awesome, i know that's what the diagonal test is for, but three wheels with no grip on a small incline or two wheels from the same side...i think that adds for a great test too!

[@CarQuestion]

To send the car sideways like that, it needs to send power to the wheel with traction. The WIlderness tends to go sideways more VS other AWD vehicles. Many of them just stay straight, and they never make it past the 3 wheel slip test. We have more coming for this car: Diagonal test, Sand Test, and Off-road diagonal test in natural condition. I take notes of your suggestion and will try to make it happen.

Thanks for one more great test. I know that this model should be one of my next vehicle options if it remains on the market in the upcoming 4 years. So I presume the X-Mode is the high tech alternative to the Lock mode in other vehicles like my 2016 Outlander.

[@CarQuestion]

The lock mode on most vehicles split the power 50:50 without delay. It doesn't send power to the wheel that needs traction. X-mode is a more complex algorithm and way more performant than some old-school lock mode. Still, I would love to have a rear limited-slip differential like I used to have in my 2001 2.5 RS.

[@maithem212]

[@MarsPHLO]

@@spol1622 Subaru’s system is to directly active the spinning wheel’s brake individually It’s computer control and not by locking the differential gear..that’s why it got some delay, cause the computer is logically thinking/trying which wheel to be locked(braked)would have best results But that is another way without using differential lock, outcome is the same, stop the spinning wheel and redirect the engine output to the wheel that have traction

When spinning tire loses forward grip vehicle moves on lateral direction which is the least path of resistance. You can see this phenomenon on powerful engine rear wheel drive sports car when rear tire spins out and car rear end begins to fishtail. Rear wheel drive vehicle doing donuts on the parking lot is another perfect example of what happens when tire spins out under power.

[@mitralex]

In the situation with three rollers and only one front wheel on ground it never moved. After a bit of slippage wheels touch the FRAME of the rollers and only after that car starts to move. There are other test in real conditions where Subaru completely sucks with its traction control

[@cestchill1991]

The only reason it works when 1 wheel got traction, its because the car slips and then grips on the side of the rollers

[@Obevankenobe1]

with X-mode, the car is dragged to the sides and it runs over the roller mounting bar, which does not move and it catches the hook and jumps out. So she would not have left. The test is not indicative. In our time, there are already systems with wheel braking, and this is already at the level of a computer, not mechanics. With such systems, it is not difficult to leave such rollers.

[@icecreammanrocker360]

I am unfamiliar with other vehicles with similar systems, what else may be comparable?

[@Obevankenobe1]

@@icecreammanrocker360 no matter what system. (even VW Tiguan or Prado 150) The computer throws the torque from the slipping wheel, that is, it strangles it and, accordingly, drags the car with better grip. Now, most new cars in general are capable of this. Where such toys will enter the hill on a diagonal hanging, then frame jeeps will not enter (only with acceleration). And you don't need experience, just push the gas to the floor and the main thing is that the engine has enough power to turn the wheels holding the brakes. The rest was taken care of by the auto developer.
