I miss my SX4 - lost it in the Hurricane Sandy flooding. That car would never let me down - in the snow it was the fastest thing I've ever driven even with all weather tires and with Nokian snow tires it was unstoppable.
As far as I know, the Ford Kuga doesn't have a manually switchable differential lock. The SX4 has got one. That's the magic I'll guess. Great little 4x4 the Suzuki. Wow!
the kuga is simply heavier and has wider tires so its harder for it to climb up a snowy hill, but most of the time on paved roads it handles much better than the sx4, when you do need a bit of off road capability it handles fine except in extreme situations like this.
*all over the place not "olover" the place. You are correct, well done. You know basic physics that the Suzuki driver that didn't push throttle fully, had more traction than the Kuga. As the driver of the Kuga was vigerously accelerating, it caused the wheels to slip and spin on the slippery surface, thus resulting in it losing traction. Maybe you are paying a little bit of attention in KeyStage2 science. So now, we have come to realise it wasn't the Ford that was bad, it was the drivers skill.
so not fair to see this video now, i have the 4x4 Suzuki and i want to replace it with the ford kuga (Escape 2013 north America version) I got tired of the little car after 3 years, to much road noise and a few design flaws, but now i going back to my first option Infinity EX35. Thanks for the video nice job
nevermind what weight of car. the point of this test is to show what difference in offroadproof transmission and torque/balanced engine. and, of course, the tires ))))
I think because the SX4 is lighter it had an easier time getting up that hill. The Ford had the same tire footprint, but more weight. It also appears that the Ford Kuga had 4WD instead of AWD? I don't know much about that model.
I can see the commercial now ... "This is the Suzuki SX4... And this is a Crossover costing nearly twice as much... The SX4 also has a better warranty and gets better gas mileage"
I dont have any kind of expirience on driving in the snow, but I can say that the SX4 is, at least, a good offroader on the sand, the problnes are: ground clearance and the 60km/h limit for de 4x4Lock (a must have on the sand). But these 2 probs can be solved by knowing the terrain where you`re driving, going at 55-60km/h (all windows closed...) and knowing the limits of the car (this is not a land rover).
Too much people talking about tires but... SX4 have CENTRAL DIFERENTIAL BLOCKER, and that is a BIG difference in off road. Maybe an SX4 have more Off road capabilities with the same height of explorer, because Ford "suv" only have an electric "inteligent" traction system...
i think that ford Kuga slightly heaver than Suzuki Sx4 or the 4x4 system of Suzuki has well precised n' handling among worst condition than Ford Kuga? i think the ancestor, suzuki samurai was tested the 4x4 capabilities during its generations
за резину на Куге не скажу, если зимняя, то очень плохая, а esp конечно задавила хорошо, да и водила по-ходу так себе, на снегу умудрился заглохнуть, + конечно вес!
nedžad bajrić im drive at hill with 40 cm snow my tires brand new and ford can very easily go top off hill but porsche cayenne couldnt because tires are bullshit:)
hyenachase f the Kuga constantly monitors the conditions and give the "correct" amount of drive to individual wheels. I think the biggest issue in this video is the difference in weights.
I do like Ford. Did it seem otherwise? I don't understand how it could. I just said that the Kuga only slipped and the Suzuki didn't because of the driver. Again, read the comment.
I was completely disappointed, when a plow truck pushed snow onto my driveway, 2ft high. I thought it would challenge my Grand Vitara. From a standing position, that little truck just bulldozed over that pile of packed snow like it was nothing. The engine barley made a grunt or growl.
if you think this fiat is good watch a panda 4x4 destroy a rangerover and this was on tv and actually happed ….kuga a good car but very heavy and I driven them all ...little fiats are great fun

CONGRATS! Nice skills, beautiful scenery and amazing little car :)

Great little 4x4 the Suzuki. Wow!
Thanks I really enjoyed that, looking at one for my daughter, MisterS4ndm4n and Tossdart.
I was amazed to see how far and high the sx4 would go considering its grass under the snow!
the kuga is simply heavier and has wider tires so its harder for it to climb up a snowy hill, but most of the time on paved roads it handles much better than the sx4, when you do need a bit of off road capability it handles fine except in extreme situations like this.
Might have to get the SX4
Pozdravljeni..a ste zadovoljni z suzukijem po snegu? blatu? ga uporabljate tudi za kak offroad? ali ima kak diff lock/špere?
Hvala za odgovor in lp

That little suzuki is a total boss.
Good climb!
lucky i have sx4 great job
Was that filmed near the croatian border maybe? Cool video !

SX4 je zakon na snegu! :) Koje gume imaju jedan i drugi?
Can you let me know what kind of tires and both cars?
it seems that Kuga has summer tires
100%
Hi, difference between fiat 16 and Suzuki SX4?
the Suzuki SX4 4wd is in mode LOCK or AUTO ?
You need to put snow tyres to the kuga, and take it easier with the gas pedal bcause spinning the wheels will not increase traction
sx4 is good car
nevermind what weight of car. the point of this test is to show what difference in offroadproof transmission and torque/balanced engine. and, of course, the tires ))))
Dali je Suzuki u AUTO ili LOCK modu?
Suzuki ❤

What's the name of the song on the background? Thx in advanve.
i am confused... isn't this the awd version? i see all 4 wheels spinning.
identical tyres???
Someone please tell me the title of the song on the background please?
Why did you use so bad winter tires???
tyres????????
SU-ZU-KI YEAHHHHHHH!
İki arabanın lastikleri aynımı değilse karşılaştırma yeniden yapılmalı
Ford Kuga version 4x4?
Вот-вот...на кугу просто нужны ТрЭкеры!
Bravo bravo za Suzuki SX4.
Both have winter tires (ЗИМНЯЯ РЕЗИНА):
Kuga: Fulda krisalp 235 55 17
Suzuki: Sava Eskimo HP 205 60 16
Sava najjaca
Suzuki invented the quad what did u expect. Best awd car made.
Song?
И как резина ?
First in kuga you have very poor snow tires, second in kuga wheels are too wide. This is a most important thing in this "test" :)
I can see the commercial now ... "This is the Suzuki SX4... And this is a Crossover costing nearly twice as much... The SX4 also has a better warranty and gets better gas mileage"
I dont have any kind of expirience on driving in the snow, but I can say that the SX4 is, at least, a good offroader on the sand, the problnes are: ground clearance and the 60km/h limit for de 4x4Lock (a must have on the sand). But these 2 probs can be solved by knowing the terrain where you`re driving, going at 55-60km/h (all windows closed...) and knowing the limits of the car (this is not a land rover).
Suzuki best little 4x4 for the money.Good job suzuki!!!!
i like the sx4
@jackedandtan100 I no they have, but as said is this there attempt.
then good for you
что за музон?
@PorkChop513
Kuga driver must get driving lessons and winter tyres.
Kuga ESP was on or off ????. If on ,something is wrong with the driver,if off again something wrong with the driver..... : )
@dzambolaja69 Suzuki SX4 1,9 ddis--SAVA Eskimo HP 205/60 R16...!!!!
Bad quality What were you filming this, Alcatel A10?
Too much people talking about tires but... SX4 have CENTRAL DIFERENTIAL BLOCKER, and that is a BIG difference in off road. Maybe an SX4 have more Off road capabilities with the same height of explorer, because Ford "suv" only have an electric "inteligent" traction system...
es liegt wohl ehr an den Reifen^^
The drivers both drove in different places. I never consider a test acurate unless it has been done under proper test conditions.
Kugas weight seems apparant , cant see tyres on it etc
It did not go street? This would have happened to the Suzuki if the driver had also floored it.
Let me stop on this snowy hill... and... FLOOR IT!
i think that ford Kuga slightly heaver than Suzuki Sx4 or the 4x4 system of Suzuki has well precised n' handling among worst condition than Ford Kuga? i think the ancestor, suzuki samurai was tested the 4x4 capabilities during its generations
Please let me know what song is it? beautiful one.
A Good Feeling of Levels by Max Parcell
budots
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that with AWD, you have to give it a good amount of gas for the system to work?
Levels - Avicii :-)
This is a story more about the difference between tires than the difference between vehicles.
You need 2nd or 3rd gear you divvy not 1st. And if you got a landrover you would be ok.
u get stuck if your on a hill on idle.
.
yes.. both cars have four-wheel drive..
Kuga had all wheel drive.
tyres tyres tyres
i've got pirelli scorpion on my kuga
Esp on and off.. we tried everything ;)))
hi
was the sx4 on lock mode or auto? assuming lock mode, winter tires or regular tires?
Flo Rida- Good feeling
Tyres..
Buy some Michelin, Goodyear or Vredestein tyres.
Tha is why i love sx4 in mongolian harish road
они оба на зимних шинах, sx4 намного легче форда, отсюда и разница)
за резину на Куге не скажу, если зимняя, то очень плохая, а esp конечно задавила хорошо, да и водила по-ходу так себе, на снегу умудрился заглохнуть, + конечно вес!
Problem with tires in Ford...100% ...
nedžad bajrić im drive at hill with 40 cm snow my tires brand new and ford can very easily go top off hill but porsche cayenne couldnt because tires are bullshit:)
why dont you show the tru angle of this video or do all the trees grow on a angle?
Оператору руки оторвать
oh yah it did not go street because it slighting olover the place
Suzuki has 4 wheel lock dont think the Kuga has ?
hyenachase f the Kuga constantly monitors the conditions and give the "correct" amount of drive to individual wheels. I think the biggest issue in this video is the difference in weights.
Сузуки есть Сузуки...
Tires!
Guys... If you noticed it depends even of the driver! THE one with Suzuki drives better.
I do like Ford. Did it seem otherwise? I don't understand how it could. I just said that the Kuga only slipped and the Suzuki didn't because of the driver. Again, read the comment.
ford kuga have all seasons tyres... suzuki have winter tyres thats a difference
I was completely disappointed, when a plow truck pushed snow onto my driveway, 2ft high. I thought it would challenge my Grand Vitara. From a standing position, that little truck just bulldozed over that pile of packed snow like it was nothing. The engine barley made a grunt or growl.
türkiyeeee
What's wrong with the Ford driver?
If front and rear wheels are locked and turning on the Ford it must be tyres and or driver thats not to good
ale veľa záleží aj od pneu..
summer tires on Kuga that's the answer :)) or something wrong with the driver :)
Tomorrowland 2011 official video
obviously the Fulda krisalp tires are so bad...
suzuki has difflock thats why it crawls so easyly it has 2w 4w and lock control
dzabe mu ovolika gascina na fordu,treba lagano sa gasom,a vjerujem i da su gume problem :)
the suzuki have a traction and the kuga did not have a traction that's why it slide olover the place
tires 235 vs 205 (suzuki) ofcourse it will be easier for suzuki
kuga is also heavier noobs dont understand this ;-)
Kuga ESP ???? on ? something is wrong with the driver,,,if off something wrong with the driver : )
if you think this fiat is good watch a panda 4x4 destroy a rangerover and this was on tv and actually happed ….kuga a good car but very heavy and I driven them all ...little fiats are great fun
when i say Explorer i try to explain why SX4 is more capable than Kuga, Explorer and All other Ford SUV with the same awd system.
