Looking at the 4x4 systems available for my next car I am surprised how poor the Haldex 5 system seems to be when compared with the Subaru system or even the Haldex 4.  Numerous videos on You Tube indicate that it is second or even third best when compared to other systems.  A particular video with vehicles on rollers the Haldex 5 vehicle which I think was a Audi Quattro, without a little help from the passenger would still be on the rollers.  So it looks like Subaru wins.  As it is the same system in the Karoq Subaru wins

Simply Clever.

  If the Skoda / VW Group AWD System is not fit for purpose for your needs and requirements when you fit better tyres than the VW Group do 

then get a Subaru and fit better tyres to it because they come with pretty rubbish OEM tyres as well.

 

PS.

An Audi Quattro or different from an Audi quattro.

I´ve had about all systems from VAG and was skeptical about Haldex. Now I believe I gotten the chance to test these systems quite well as I live in an arctic country with blistering winters and I have tested both 50/50 Torsen and 40/60 Torsen and when I got my first Haldex car (Scout II with H4) i got positively surprised. Its important to understand that no (normal commercial system) is perfect.

 

Tho the Haldex-5 I got now is by far the best I´ve tried. Naturally this is under normal conditions during winter and such, I do not take the car out off roading or 10 feet of snow. I actually think that this system reminds me of Torsen and it can be quite playful and predictable when you push it.

 

Roller tests and such is not a bullet proof way of testing a 4x4 system - in my opinion.

 

Its like when Jeremy Clarkson complained about the 4x4 in the BMW X6 that could not get up a wet grass hill, all the wheels was spinning so no Jeremy, you dumbass, maybe the tires was the problem?
