With Volkswagen's 4Motion cars, you need to press on the gas for the Awd system to send power, it does not work by barely pressing the gas pedal and waiting. 4Motion splits 90/10 on most occasions but will transfer power to any wheel who needs it.(haldex) a very efficient AWD,that allows you to move well in light,medium off road and snow/ice.
@JM-nz8gw8 жыл бұрын
It's the same Haldex in the Audi quattro system. I have my Audi TT with it and it works well, but like you said, you gotta press the gas and wait for it to come on.

@intrepidmilotic59997 жыл бұрын
pikepeak1 Haldex Gen5 should be enough unless you will go into heavy off roading, in addition you should not floor it, you should hit the gas hard enough for momentum and 4Motion will start switching power and Traction between your tires.
@makimoko7 жыл бұрын
Audi will be changing their Torsen based AWD for electronically controlled, Haldex-like clutches. It starts with the new B9 A4 and will continue to the other vehicles, exception made of RS models. Look up the « Quattro with Ultra » system, which is essentially a FWD biased part-time AWD. Looks like true permanent AWD is getting extinct...

Just helped my parents purchase a new 2017. They had the A3 tdi with the S line package and the two sunroofs. We loved this car. There really was nothing comparable to it on the market when we bought it. Then the tdi foolishness happened. We bought the car used for 25K in August 2015 and Audi is going to buy it back for over 33K. So not a bad deal. They got a new Alltrack SEL with every bell and whistle. originally 36K and purchased for 26K. It is a great car. Again, I don't think there is anything comparable to it on the market. There are only a few wagons from which to chose in the US, and none in this price range with that massive, and I do mean MASSIVE sunroof.

From the looks of it the AWD system takes a while to finally send power to the rear wheels. At least form those short clips it doesn't inspire confidence if it is needed in ice and snow and it doesn't have the same amount of time to make a decision.

I drove an 03 WRX on summer tires one time that did better in the slippery stuff, than my Alltrack does on all-seasons it came with. And to me, it’s due to the difference between full-time AWD, and power-transfer AWD; by the time the car’s detected slippage, it’s too late.

I’m looking to buy one of these as I can’t find a new wagon with a manual transmission. I was kinda horrified by the poor AWD performance compared to my ‘07 Forester, but the comments seem to agree that slippage actually has to occur before the system can transfer torque. I am consistently aware of the individual tire grip on the Forester with its viscous center diff and mechanical limited rear diff and no traction control features. I was hoping that the AWD would prevent the modern traction control from cutting power or applying brake as I always feel these actions are counter to how I’ve already adjusted to the situation. Other than a little less power, I’m hoping for a better daily driver with better gas mileage than my Subie. 🤞

@@brettpanzer Of course my Forester has the EJ255 and has more power than the 1.8 in the AllTrack. I did buy a low mileage 2019 (manual of course) and it is very poor performance-wise in comparison to the Foz, but I do like how quiet it is and I can get 30 mpg in it, where I can count the fill-ups that I got over 20 mpg in the Forester in 15 years on one finger. The handling is definitely comfort and not performance, and the rebound on the shocks is similar to a ‘70s American sedan on low frequency bumps or dips. Driving it 4000 miles so far, I reckon I’ll keep it, but I couldn’t sell my old car as the VW is so daft. I was right about the traction control and delay in both engine power and power transfer to the rear. I will try performance shocks first. But I don’t believe I will chase performance out of this car - I’ll just have to keep a second car for fun-to-drive. Cheers

Not saying I wouldn't give it a run (well okay I wouldn't... I prefer my mid-size sedan) but it definitely fits a purpose that VW owners have been longing for... Sort of... Getting them in the ruggedish AWD cute-ute. I would take this over.... say a Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, and HRV in a heartbeat... Best left to harsh winters vs true adventure seeking imho.

As far as the reliability, that`s based off of consumer reports ( guess VW didn`t pay the extortion fee ) all in all I believe these comparisons are not upfront as the Alltrack is a wagon and the Outback is a crossover. to get the same performance you have to get a 3.6 really!

Its Disgusting Corrupt EPA , picked on 4 & 3 Cylinder engines capable of 67 MPG while you can still by a Hellcat and waste 18 Gallons of fuel in 12 Minutes or Buy a Heavy Duty Pick up Truck with 6.7L diesel engine with no Issues . I know , I Know lets blame the VW golf for U.S pollution problems

I was going to get an '18 Crosstrek, but Subaru did nothing with the god awful engine. In my '16 Crosstrek, I feel like I am going to die whenever I merge onto the highway or pull into traffic. It is awful, slow, and unresponsive. The Alltrack is looking more and more like my next car. It is slightly more expensive, but what you get for that couple thousand more seems to make up for the price difference in droves.

Dylan B get it! you won't regret it. i just came from a crosstrek too!

Its expensive, so why didn't it come equipped with the 2.0TSI?

2.0 TSI 170HP 2.0 TSI 200HP 1.8 TSI 170 HP it is pretty much the same as the smaller 2.0, i am guessing the 200hp is reserved for the larger more powerful Tiguan.

If you take it off-road you better put on a panzer plate or you will break your oil pan.

Can you please do a review of a bmw x5 50d m. 2016
@contractki11er8 жыл бұрын
The X5 50d M is not available in the US market. The X5 M in the US only comes with the 4.4L V8 petrol.

@timothygermann7807 жыл бұрын
Well this car starts at $25000 and the Audi Allroad starts at $45,000. So they don't really compete.

Timothy Germann I hear your point, but VW and Audi share many parts and platforms. If you look closely, many Audi interiors are looking so similar now. It's getting annoying. I'd take this over the all road. Who cares about the badge
@danielboyd78107 жыл бұрын
Francois DuJour I know this comment is old but I figured I would share that the all road and the alltrac are two completely different cars. Different engines, transmissions and AWD systems. The all road is an actual Quattro system. Also while Audi and VW are part of the same company, the interior styling of the two are not similar in any way.

Can this Wagon be "Catagorized ' as a cheap version of an Audi Allroad?
@hirmizb8 жыл бұрын
This can be, however I would recommend and allroad if you have been already looking at it as the Quattro system has better technology than the 4motion, and on the allroad it's standard
@copbikeralex7 жыл бұрын
The new A4/Allroad and the AWD Sportwagen/Alltrack both share the same AWD system, Haldex. Same as the Golf R, Tiguan, A3/S3, Q3/5; though there are minor tweaks here and there. Then you get Torsen AWD systems in the Touareg/Q7/larger Audi sedans. Then there is an entirely different AWD system for the R8. 4Motion and Quattro really is just marketing and branding. I'd say a "cheap" Audi Allroad is a great way to describe it. Less features and a little less power, but same general idea.
