S-AWD của Subaru Forester CVT hoạt động như thế nào? Có ghê như đồn đại? | Đường 2 Chiều

Welcome back to Hai Trieu! When we talk about a Subaru, like this Forester here, some people don't know that this is a Chinese car. What? Some people care about this Subaru, but they don't care about the options, such as EyeSight, Autofocus and Autonomous Distance. No, no, no. All of those things are not important when we talk about a Subaru. But when we talk about a Subaru, there are only two things that exist, which are the Boxer engine and the all-wheel drive system. All the other things are not important. So today, we won't talk about this Boxer engine, which has a low center of gravity. It's not today's topic. Maybe it's a topic for another video. Today, we will talk about the all-wheel drive system of the Subaru Forester, the CBT version, just like the one I have here. Let's see if it's as good as we think. Let's start! Subaru has always been the leader in the all-wheel drive system. Such as WRX and STI, which are the symbols of the four-wheel drive system of Subaru. Speaking of the name SAWD, it's the abbreviation of Stramatical All-Wheel Drive, which means the four-wheel drive system. If you look from the bottom of the car, you will see a steering column which helps the car to have a very balanced weight distribution. Stramatical All-Wheel Drive is a standard equipment for all Subaru models. However, Subaru does not use the same system. When you hear someone say that the Forester CBT has a 50-50 weight distribution, or that the Forester also has an all-wheel drive system like the STI, it's not true. The 50-50 weight distribution system for the Subaru front and rear wheels is only available on the models that use the SOSAN gearbox. The Forester SOSAN uses this system, but the CBT does not. The All-Wheel Drive system on this car is called ATS, which stands for Active Torque Split. The engine will transfer the torque to the front wheel through a central clutch, which will transfer the torque to the rear wheel. This central clutch is not considered to be the center of the V-side. This clutch is called Active because it actively adjusts the torque ratio between the front and rear wheels. However, the difference between the four-wheel drive system of Subaru and other All-Wheel Drive systems on the market now is that with a Subaru, all four wheels are always driven in all road conditions. For example, a CR-V All-Wheel Drive version will only be activated in the case that the wheels are shaking and the torque is transferred to the rear wheels to increase the traction. This can cause slow intervention in emergency situations. With Subaru Forester, all four wheels always receive the torque to maximize the traction and always take the initiative in all situations. With Forester, according to the announcement, the torque ratio between the front and rear wheels is 60-40. This means that the torque ratio will always be changed because this is an active system. For example, when we stop on the red light and then accelerate to full speed, the torque ratio can now increase to 50-50. The reason is that when we accelerate suddenly, the center of gravity of the car will be pushed into the rear axle. Therefore, the torque ratio will be 50-50 for the front and rear wheels. An all-wheel-drive car will bring a more stable driving experience than a two-wheel-drive car or a one-wheel-drive car. With a front-wheel-drive car, the front axle can lead to an understeer when entering the corner. The front wheels slip out of the road and lose control. A rear-wheel-drive car will have an oversteer and lose traction on the road. With an all-wheel-drive car with an all-wheel-drive system, the car will gain traction when entering the corner. For example, in the case of understeer, the torque ratio will be increased to balance the car. Or when the torque ratio in the rear wheels leads to understeer, the torque ratio will be increased to lead to understeer. In the case of oversteer, the torque ratio will be increased to balance the car. Personally, I'm driving a Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 AWD. Mitsubishi calls this system a four-wheel-drive, but it's actually an all-wheel-drive. Mitsubishi calls this four-wheel-drive a AWC, which means all-wheel-control. The difference is that the Outlander can choose the Eco mode, which means it runs in a time-saving AWD mode, just like the CR-V AWD and the Auto mode, which means it runs in a time-saving AWD mode, just like the Subaru Forester. The only difference is the torque ratio between the front and the rear wheels. The Forester uses a hydraulic clutch, while the Outlander uses an electronic clutch to transfer the torque between the front and the rear wheels. We'll talk about this topic in another video. Now, let's talk about the X-Mode, which is a must-have feature when it comes to Subaru's all-wheel-drive and AWD systems. In the Forester version, the X-Mode has two modes, which are Snow, Mud and Deep Snow. Snow, Mud is the snow and mud mode. For example, when we're climbing a slope with slippery roads, the X-Mode will receive information from the sensor, which will send the torque to the wheels. This will help the car to overcome difficult situations. In Snow, Mud, the traction control is still on, while in Deep Snow, the traction control is off. For example, when we're in a deep mud, and all four wheels are slippery, the traction control will see all four wheels slipping and lock all four wheels so that the car can turn and cross the terrain. In addition, the rear suspension will be changed, along with keeping the gearbox at an even gear ratio with low speed, which helps the torque to the wheels more. In addition, the X-Mode will also help drivers in difficult situations, such as going down a steep slope. By turning on the X-Mode, it will automatically help the car go down the slope slowly and affect the gear ratio. And that's all I want to share about the traction control system on the Subaru Forester, the CVT version that is being sold in the Vietnamese market. I hope that through this video, you can understand more about this car. This Forester is probably one of the most popular cars in the Vietnamese market. So if you're interested in this car, you should know more about the traction control system of this car. It's better than other systems on the market. And why do we buy a Subaru instead of another car? Another topic about Subaru is probably about the boxer engine of this car. See you in another video.
