Bmw 530d xDrive (2016) vs Audi A6 2.0 TDI Quattro (2016): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8xjapOm0sWbp2w.html

This is one of the better tests I've seen. When you test in "real world conditions", people complain that there are too many variables. When you test in controlled conditions such as in this video, people complain that it's an inaccurate representation of real driving conditions; there's no helping these people. This video provides an enormous amount of information to those able to interpret the results, so I thank you for taking the time to make and edit the info, and providing the graphic representation of what is happening. 10/10. I don't think the video supports that either system is "superior", it simply shows how the two systems work similarly, and where there are differences.

Wreszcie jakiś fajny test napędów. dzięki !

Both Xdrive and quattro are great

Thanks for this hot comparison! I love your channel! 😁

And there you have it! No fanboy video with drifting Audis and BMWs with summer tires stuck in snow... This is objective. Quattro is NOT the best. Thanks for that video!

Roses are red Violets are blue Limited slip diff Is the answer for you

Both did a good job. Torsen in Audi was just the best in T1 type era where you could manually lock the rear diff :-) long ago...

Great test 👍

I have a XDrive. It's doesnt't matter for me XDrive or Quattro. Both is good.

nice Bmw 530i xDrive 2017 model year and Audi a6 quattro 2011 model year .... waiting for test Bmw g30 vs Audi a6 c8

There was a time when Audi quattro was untouchable, not anymore. Both did a pretty good job tought!

This test covers only some parts of what an awd system should do. In this test at any time you are having some wheels with 100% traction and the others with 0% traction. BMW having a more electrical AWD system can split better the torque between wheels. Audi for C7 has a mechanic AWD system so it’s not so precise in this test. But what happens when you have partial traction on all 4 wheels, like on rain or mud or snow? This is actually the most common situation.

I always thought quattro was better but this test proves otherwise.

Cool

Not a fan of either, but clearly BMW has the better system. If you watch the posters other video comparing VW and Audi (both VAG products) it's clear that their system has trouble or is incapable of transferring power from one side of the axle to the other. X-Drive, at least in this model here can transfer power in such a manner, perhaps with the help of LSDs

What's up with this war all the time. Both pretty decent and gonna help when needed

Audi fans are triggered

Вот это по честному )))

Nareszcie porządny test i wszelkie wątpliwości zostały rozwiane. Na YT jest pełno beznadziejnych filmów pokazujących jak BMW się ślizga na śniegu a AUDI rusza normalnie, tyle że taki test na śniegu pokazuje przyczepność opon a nie działanie napędów. Ten test pokazuje prawdziwe działanie napędu a nie przyczepność opon na śniegu. Pewnie będzie pełno hejtu ze strony fanów Audi pod moim komentarzem ale nic nie dadzą te komentarze ponieważ film pokazuje który napęd jest lepszy, co nie znaczy że quattro jest złe 😉

on BMW he push the throttle slowly and on audi he pushed hard the throttle . If u push hard the throttle on bmw u never go away!

Lol, having to spin for that long to finally have the computer figure it out to get traction would mean having to get a shovel to dig yourself out. Trying to cheap out $100 by using open diffs and using software is really disappointing. I got stuck with one tire in sand last week in my nissan xterra in 4wd. Turns out I was supposed to gas it and wait for the computer to figure it out and risk getting stuck. In my older truck, it used a clutch style LSD that worked proactively and I never had anything like that happen. It just worked, because nissan hadn't cheaped out yet by trying to use software to overcome crappier hardware.

both are good but X-Drive is best 😍😍😍

I ten ból dupy Audi fanboy'ów, bo napęd BMW wygrał z quattro. Jedyną wymówką to się srają o jakiś śnieg, bo innego komentarza nie mają XD Prawda boli najbardziej, że xdrive jest teraz jednym z najlepszych napędów jeżeli chodzi o skuteczność na drodze. Dla ciekawości gościu, który kiedyś projektował quattro, teraz projektuje xdrive w BMW.

Nice comparison Which system is the X drive using ,is it similar to Subaru's Which 4 WHD layout is used by BMW?

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

So the xDrive is better than Quattro...

People who say Quattro is leaps and bounds ahead of X-Drive, need to watch this video

As an audi quattro owner, its hilarious to see the audi fanboi's try to deny the fact that BMW was the clear winner in this test. Modern quattro systems are junk compared to older style systems when other companies technology was not as advanced as audi was. Audi's latest quattro system is bulky, expensive, and relies too heavily on computer control compared to older systems.

Quite eye opening. Quattro's longstanding reputation definite needs to be questioned at this point.

Bazujac jedynie na tescie napedu wyraznie wygrywa Xdrive. Jednak jesli przenalizowac stopien skomplikowania mechanizmu w bmw i audi oraz wziac pod uwage, ze jest to najnowszy model bmw seri5 kontra audi a6 ktore zadebiutowalo ok 7 lat temu to wynik testu juz nie jest tak oczywisty. Audi jest samochodem prostszym konstrukcyjnie (chociazby sam naped) niz bmw. Kolejny plus na korzysc audi, ze jako samochod z drugiej reki jest obecnie o wiele bardziej przystepny cenowo a w codziennym uzytkowaniu oba napedy sprawdza sie bardzo podobnie w kazdej pogodzie. Jakbymkasa nie grala roli to wybralbym bmw xdrive ale rozsadek podpowiada starsze mniej skomplikowane i sporo tansze audi a6 quattro. Pozdrawiam.

Quattro is a mechanical system while xDrive is electronic actuated. xDrive would respond faster to slippage but less predictable in power delivery than quattro. It really depends on your preference.

Let’s all just agree that 4Matic has the dumbest name of the 3

awds get so confused on rollers lol. isnt there a telemitry sensor they can use to eliminate that issue?

I to jest test a nie te gdzie pokazują bmw zakopane w śniegu czy piachu i audi które przejeżdża po prostej drodze gdzie jest 2 cm śniegu

So xdrive is slightly better for certain applications. Just as I thought

Testing and reality are different.

bmw rwd is best.extra pair of drive wheels is just better.

Dźwięk pracy silnika Audi jest gorszy od nowych traktorów, to jest jakaś kpina aby dziś tak silnik pracował. Niech te dziady posłuchają diesla Hdi/Dci czy Diesla BMW.

Same Same but different !

X-drive быстрее соображает на доли секунды, чем Quattro

my logo

For me, quattro died when the last S2 rolled off the assembly line in 1995.

Off topic! I have an audi a3 2010 quattro with haldex and i read on internet and lot of people tell me its only two wheel drive most of the time, and only when I lost grip on front wheels i will have all 4 wheels working. But i have a problem with the drive shaft that caused a vibration when back wheels working, and any time I accelerate even on highway on dry, I feel that vibration s-o I know its working not only when i drive on snow or mud and I lost grip. Maybe on constant speed its only two wheels drive but then dont need the extra consuption. What I don't understand about my car and maybe somebody know its if i go down hill and there its ice, when my front wheels start to slip because of the engine brake, back wheels will be also engaged în the engine brake? ...Fun thing, I like to drive pretty fast and I like to try the car, and if I go constant with 80km/h în a curve that I know vere well, the car understeer (its an audi :)), but if I accelerate I can go with over 90km/h, and the car its perfectly balanced, not understeer, not oversteer, its really grip like crazy

you compare the audi off 2016 to bmw 2018 the tecnology evoulote so nice comparassion

u should consider that this is previous generation of audi a6 (c7) and the new generation of 5 series

xDrive for the win! 💪🏻

The Problem is that the audi is from 2016 and from my knowledge they upgraded there quattro sytem lately.

The Audi needs so much more gas to get of those rollers

No need to talk trash about all different 4 wheel drive systems when you have not done some research. (ps: most youtube comparisations are not fair.. you see 4matic on Snow performing better then Quattro on Snow with Ice underneath..or other whey arround... Also Quattro vs X-drive where one with Winter tires pulling on snow with full traction vs other slipping arround and not going forward (Summer tires)) All 4wheel drive systems are pretty much good enough and will get you there.. Some are just stopping the slipping wheel faster and transfering power faster to the needed wheels. To come to the point: Audi has finally recognized X-drive to be slightly better, so Audi applied the same techniek in 2015 on their Quattro.. Now at least we know Quattro & X-drive = SAME!

BMW Ultimate Driving MACHINE #BestCarsOfAllTimes

xDrive the smartest.

Next time have a camera inside the vehicles to show if the traction control is on or off.

Yes, and this test is useful because on my everyday commute I roll over rollers.

1:30 Look bmw no problem, then look audi .......

subaru's symetrical awd system beats them all in any condition, on any planet

And the WINNER is......!!!!

Не понял,что уже Икс драйв лучше кваттро?🤔

BMW WINEr 🔥🇦🇱

Try it on the snow

If you want Audi, save money buy a Skoda!

Xdrive number one!

The BMW wins this cause the Quattro needs more Wheelspin. In Reality you wont really get in such a situation so both are fine.

The 2.0 A6 is a front wheel drive for fuel economy, partial quattro when needed. It's haldex not torsen, xDrive is better than haldex but torsen is the best.

Please test 4matic with those two

Oke take this: Both systems are good at doing their job. It's minor difference.Here is why quattro has upper hand ----> Quattro system is much more mechanical reliable on long term.Bmw is eletronic like quattro ultra computer controlled, Big thing is weight Xdrive is much heavy and complicate that is big minus Quattro is much lighter, and weight is important in car industry.

Y'all, that s not fair. This Audi a6 it is not the last model.

Its not fair.You compared old A6 and new 5 series

Quattro es superior en otros aspectos de la tracción, por ejemplo en agarre en curvas, ya sea en seco o en mojado. Y no hablemos de nieve, medalla de oro. Pero es cierto que en circunstancias de fuerza explosiva ya sea en pendientes o desniveles, x-drive y 4matic son un poco superiores que Quattro, creo que para tu día a día Quattro es una tracción más completa.

xdrive is best and most advanced system on the planet thats fact !

Well well I think Audi lost on his game Opps ! haters in 3 2 1...

Those little audi fanboys just see what they wanna see in real subaru has the best 4x4

Audi 2.0 or 3.0?

4 awd systems that have been a ridiculous test in my opinion are an unnecessary comparison that is tested on the roads with heavy snow and slippery flooring. Quatro is a system with nearly 40 years experience

Brand new 5 series vs an a6 which is years old. Of course the newer vehicle will win. Try again with the 2018 a6

How was that with quattro is better? 😂😂😂

A lot of people will say that XDrive is better than Quattro based on videos like this. The big difference is that XDrive uses a lot of electronics to control the system, while Quattro doesn't use any. And by electronics I don't mean ESP or something like that. XDrive uses electronics to shift the power between the wheels, the center diff. is electronically controlled, while Quattro is pure mechanical, and it needs more wheel spin to react/change and shift power because of the mechanics. Which is better?! Difficult to say, if the electronics fail in the XDrive?! Quattro's reputation isn't for nothing....

Audi Quattro lovers where you at LOL

why there must be so much spinning? 4x4 should works after 1 cycle spin, not to spining so long before reaction...?

But why u keep gas in bmw the same lower level on last test? And u kick gas in Audi? No chance to be fair

Huh wierd i thought that quattro was the pinacle like the evo 8 but i guess not

The Funny thing here is that the quattro shown here isnt a permanent 4wd car, its definitly a quattro ultra. The difference between the normal an the ultra is that the ultra drives most of the time with 2wd to save fuel, the other 2 wheels start to move when the Controller detects wheelspin. Sorry for my bad English ^^

The test is bs unless you add and incline then you can have an accurate model of how much torque is actually being transfered and if it is even substantial. Will the car roll back on a slippery incline with only one wheel having traction etc

I can hear that the BMW is a 520xD , but it does not really matter.

I'll take the F90.

audi fanboys gonna hate

Quattro❤

So where are Audi fans? Hahhahaha

W czym niby quattro jest gorsze od xdrive? Test na rolkach jest całkowicie sztuczną sytuacją w praktyce niewystępującą w rzeczywistych warunkach drogowych. Krótko mówiąc proszę wykazać w prawdziwym terenie, który napęd nie poradzi sobie na tle drugiego. :)

I actually think the both are great systems but... Fuck Quattro lovers😂

Why do they compare a 2016 car to a 2018. Bmw 530i had 2016 model too.

On youtube is also test on snow. There also winner is xdrive. Always for me quatro was the best, but now.. I think xdrive

nutshaft driver in the audi, full throttle back and forth

Quattro was bornn when x drive never saw this world before haha

x drive transfer 100%power evrey wheel is electronic more good and inteligent than quattro and in abow all rhe video on yt Is not fault of the car is driver because you must to disable the dsc In big snow compare them Equal ..search e 60 in snow or f10

Ha ha ha.. qoattro power 😂😂😂😂

I believe there is a newer version of Quattro in 2018... . I know Nasa went for Quattro for Lunar Rover ..

xDrive !

BMW xDRIVE is the king, forget audi!!!

BMW is more rear wheel bias
