Following on from the 4wd VS winter tyre video last year, where everyone told me I was an idiot for using a BMW and that I should have used an Audi for AWD systems, I thought it would try and prove to the world that there wasn't much difference in the systems anymore. Hopefully, this video will help any future Quattro VS XDrive arguments :) You can find me on insta here for plenty more car and tyre fun: instagram.com/jonathan__Benson/

You need to know that the famous Quattro system is NOT used in the new generation of A4. The new A4 uses a Haldex system, so it is Front+rear-on-demand. The old famous quattro was permanent 60:40 rear:front. It was much better, used Torsen differential. But it was expensive, so Audi dropped for more profits. It would be great to do the test with a proper Quattro system. One more thing - due to the law of physics, when a car accelerates, the weight of the car is shifted to the back-end. This is even more true when a car starts on an incline, even more of the weight is at the back of the car -> rear has better traction so a RWD bias AWD system (like xDrive, old quattro) would do better in such scenario.

It should be noted though. On the Audi if the engine is mounted longitudinal it uses a completely different quattro system than the transverse mounted engines. The transverse system is not the quattro setup that made Audi famous, it uses a system closer to the Golf R and R32. I bring this up because the A4 can have either one depending on the engine you get. The OG quattro was 100% mechanical and sent power to the tire with the most traction simply by the gearing. I am not sure if it is still like this today. I do know the V8 S4 was still using that setup.

Especially since the systems get very close to each other. More electronics, less mechanics. It seems that the traditional quattro just couldn't compete with other systems with regard to efficiency and thus environment friendly, which is becoming more and more important. Though I would also take either of those (and in fact probably would chose the BMW as estate version), I personally would like the predictability of a fix mechanical system, rather than a computer calculating things I don't understand and which might come to a different conclusion in similar terrain situations.

It’s also important to know how the systems work. This version of quattro uses a torsen center differential while the bmw uses an actimax transfer case. The center differential when the grip is equal sends a percentage to the front and the rest to the rear like 40% front /60% rear. If the front has zero grip it cannot send any torque to the rear, but in that case the esc will apply brakes on the front tires and that way power will be transferred to the rear. However, while driving on snow, the grip front vs rear is similar for same weight. The front is heavier on audi but but because the rear still has grip the torsen can send more power to the front. Whith the actimax xdrive things are very different. The rear is permanently connected to the gearbox output so whenever it is grip it will always push. There is no center differential but instead a transfer case. The front is connected to the gearbox output through a set of clutches. There is a preload value, so the cutch will slip only when the clutch limit is reached that is 40% gearbox output torque. Below the limit both axles will have more power than required. When that happens the computer squeezes the clutches for more grip up to locking the front 100%. On hill climbing the car relies more on the rear tires which always have grip. Basically to make an xdrive you take a RWD car and connect the front though a set of clutches. The problem is the clutches can overheat wear when there is clutch slip so that is when the front wheels rotate at a different speed than the rear. Bmw can also modify the software to make it completely RWD when you don’t want to cause any wear to the clutches or it can fully lock the front also it will not cause wear anymore. In RWD mode is also more fun and much less wear for snow drifts. That is available on m5 but there is aftermarket software for other models. Locking the front can be done by software except bmw doesn’t want it. By doing that it will behave like a 4x4 with locked center differential
@julianus_dux_bellorum95854 ай бұрын
Unfortunately you are incorrect. Starting in 2017 most Audi models including the A4 use a new Quattro system called "Quattro Ultra". Similar to a Haldex system except it's better and was developed in house by Audi. It is NOT a torsen system. - uses a 2 clutch system. Multi-plate clutch at the end of the transmission. A separator clutch at the rear axle drive. - a series of worm gears, pins, levers and springs engage and disengage a unique front plate clutch to divide torque between front and rear as needed. The rear claw clutch connects abd disconnects the prop-shaft and rear wheels for maximum efficiency. - Audi admits 250 milliseconds is still enough time for tire slip to occur, so Ultra has new sensors all over the car thst monitor manybthongs such as wheel slip, cornering speed, engine torque and more, the data is processed by a computer system constantly runs simulations every 10 milliseconds, calculating where traction will like up to 500 milliseconds later. Audi example: during a turn, the inside tire will loos traction, the system analyzes the drivers behavior (turn, throttle and wheel) to calculate what torque and traction will be 500 milliseconds later. When it determines torque will exceed available traction, the system engages Quattro Ultra in half the time before it's even needed. Even in most extreme conditions where no prediction is possible such as hitting a water puddle, the sensors can detect slippage so early there is no perceptiable difference from a traditional system. - The threshold for Quattro engagement adjusts based on what driving mode your in. Or in offroad mode puts it into the same full time AWD mode as on Torsen systems. - Quattro Ultra starts in AWD when you first take off. - Ultra works electromechanically and can be fully engaged in under 250 milliseconds. 8x faster than haldex or other reactive AWD systems.

This is probably the most well done and fair test between 3 comparable cars I've seen on YT. So many comparisons on here just flat out piss me off because they seem to be actively trolling the car brand enthusiasts that they seem to try to make look bad. ...Or give the car they are rooting for a crutch when it fails to win by saying something like "The Mercedes would have won if the tires weren't bald." ....well D-UH!!!! I live on the east coast of Canada, and drive a 2010 Audi TTS. With the traction control off it is so tail happy that I find it hard to control on snow or ice--as fun as it may be. I will say that it understeers a fair bit on snow and ice with the traction control on. Not as fun, but it allows even an inexperienced, somewhat unconfident driver to still be fast in those winter conditions without having to worry too much about ending up in a snow bank. I know it has saved my bacon more than a few times over the years, when I was pushing it too hard in a turn on black ice. The car stabilized itself immediately like magic. One second you are out of control and the next second you are not. It is quite something to experience. One last thing: you can further improve takeoff in the Audi from a dead stop by switching to manual mode and putting the car in second gear before hitting the accelerator. The wheels will hook up better with less spinning. Thumbs up and subscribed.

I think you should have tested an Audi with the permanent quattro system, instead of the quattro ultra, which is haldex based. That's why we can see the BMW winning on the hill climb test - it has rear wheel bias, compared to the Audi, which is front wheel biased.
@tyrereviews5 жыл бұрын
I spoke at Audi at length, and they assured me the Ultra system was every bit as good. But I also agree with you, the haldex system would have been better. Sadly with these tests we have to use the newest cars available or you don't get support, plus these are the cars people will be looking at buying.
@alanryan82555 жыл бұрын
Yep. I think history will try to pretend Quattro Ultra never existed (it will jump straight from torsen quattro to electric cars). If this test was in 2014 then I think it would've given a very different result especially with ESP off. The reality is Audi sell front-wheel-drive cars and Subaru sell weak engines so it's hard to blame the reviewers for being honest. I'll be keeping my A4 B8 for a while.

Some nice testing there but there are so many variables in reality that doing a really comprehensive test would be very difficult. I had an F30 BMW 330D with X-Drive and it's an excellent system. I was out in the snow on summer tyres (stupid I know but I had no choice) and it was going up hills (although only just) that other AWD vehicles were sliding back down. In fact the only time I got stuck was simply due to the sheer depth of snow and lack of ground clearance that it bogged me down. However, I now have an Audi S4 B8.5 and it has the Torsen 4WD centre diff and Torque Vectoring via the brake system (will lock up an individual wheel to somewhat simulate a front/rear LSD) and it's insane, almost unearthly how much grip this thing has. I've not had it out in the snow yet, but even in the heaviest of rain this thing is scary good and married with the brake wash system results in a very confident ride in torrential downpours. Regardless of how much I respect the proper Quattro system, it's worth noting that many of the Audi cars now have the non-permanent Haldex system. But despite this, I would never knock X-Drive as it is a fantastic system and more than capable beyond my expectations.

Then that video is inadequate, because that guy in that video does not explain why the things in that video are happening. Yes, that truck does stop faster with 4WD, but it is not because of the 4WD, but I think it's because of the poor brakes in that truck. That truck probably even has drum breaks in the rear. So, when that truck is in 4WD it keeps the wheels spinning longer at the front, and the wheels lock more or less at the same time. In 2WD there is no power going to the front and the front wheels lock split-second faster and results in an un-even wheel locking times. That is the best explanation I can give you about that video. So in conclusion, in that video the poor brakes are to accused for that result. In normal vehicles like these one in this original video have quite high-performance disk breaks which brake much better

@@kevarimies8130 Audi has a mechanical viscous coupling dividing the power between front and rear axles. By default it's front axle biased, but can divide the power 50/50 on each axle on demand. BMW is using an electronic clutch and can transfer 100% of power for any axle or anywhere in between. By default Audi sends 100% power to the front, as by default BMW sends 60% power to the rear 40% front. Would be interesting to know how they manage the power during breaking. On sports cars (like Porsche) and racing cars you have a breaking bias valve for rear breaks, adding more break force to the rear during light breaking. This makes breaking on a slippery surface more effective. AWD has some what the same effect. If utilized.

Excellent video. It seemed on the hill start test though that the Op was always driving the Audi. That can make a huge difference as to how the driver inputs the initial torque applied through the throttle. What this video comes down to is buy the brand that you like and you won't go wrong.

Thanks for this test. It clearly shows that "Audi Quatro" is not something different; it is a good AWD system, yet it can be compared to others. Some people think that Quatro is the ultimate system and there are no competitors... :D

I am interested in seeing xdrive vs rwd, same power, same engine ( e.g 320i xdrive vs 320i rwd ) on wet, dry, and snow. same for quattro would be nice.

We have a 4wd vs winter tyre video which does this with a FWD X1 instead of RWD

Tyre Reviews xdrive vs rwd on the same tyre. i am curios how much does awd help with traction on a car. there is no such video on youtube so i thought you’d like to be the first one.

@@festyVAL21 I agree - Tyre Reviews' AWD with summer tires vs FWD with winter tires was eye opening, but now we really need to see what the two systems do with the same tires. Given how much everyone touts AWD, it's amazing no one has done such a comparison yet.

ARCNA442 yes. it will be really useful to see if it is worth paying extra for xdrive/quattro and if we really need it in our daily cars. couldn’t find anything useful online and everyone has different opinions.

Tyre Reviews please do it. it will really launch your channel, and you really deserve it. a 30 minute video with moderate power 3 series BMWs and Audi A4s with 2wd and 4wd: wet, dry, snow. same power and engines on bmw’s and same on audi’s, same tyres, etc. thank you

I would love to see old like 1990s quattro vs those cars here

Yes! Maybe a 5000CS turbo, the generation of Quattro that had vacuum-actuated center and rear differential LOCKERS. I bet that thing would've out-launched the whole bunch of them.
