Re: Quattro vs X-Drive

I don't need to see the video cause quattro is much better than xDrive no matter what the video shows.

Re: Quattro vs X-Drive

Too long to download, and personally if its made by BMW or Audi, it will automatically have that brands influence... I dont have interest for such a video. Need to see a true comparison by an independent non favoritism seeking influence.

IMO, Audi has the better of the AWD systems.

Re: Quattro vs X-Drive

There's definitely something fishy about that video...

Re: Quattro vs X-Drive

Remember that most Audi models still use the older version of quattro with Torsen B. Only Audi RS4, S6, S8 and Q7 use the new asymetrical quattro with Torsen C for the moment.
Quattro is permanent AWD while xDrive is conditional meaning that the car is essentially RWD before the rear wheels start to slip and then part of the torque is transmitted to forward wheels.

Re: Quattro vs X-Drive

No need to convince me, 4-matic and X-drive are still very basic systems when compared to Quattro or Acura's trick new AWD.
