Isn't Off-road mode on the Mazda an electronic diff lock? On all Mazda AWDs
Can you try a BMW X1 or X3 on the rollers?
Can you guys do a 1st gen CR-V and Rav4. Be a nice budget episode. If you haven't already.
Finally someone who is actually using and testing the off road mode on the new CX-5 that they put in. BTW, that off road mode can also be enabled on the 2017-2019 model bu disabling Traction Control, it's like a hidden mode when TC is disabled.
my 2016 shuts the rears off when i use that button.
Looks like the Mazda slid off the rollers before it caught traction on the sides.
Mazda may have slid to the side in the last test to get it off the rollers but that’s because the rear wheel with traction had some power...the Rogue didn’t have any power on that rear wheel at all in the last test!
I like Mazdas better but I had the same impression. It seems it caught traction on the sides
Sure did
@@ztekz You don't need any traction from the rear axle when you steering sideways on the front rollers.
Second here, that Nissan rogue is so impressive but the Mazda looks better in details.
The Mazda is only $1000 more yet has a turbo making nearly 70 more hp (50 on 87 octane) and 140 more lbs of tq on 91+ octane (130 on 87). That to me is the end of the story. Nighty night Rogue.
Exactly the kind of content I was looking for. Great video thanks
My 2017 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. (My 2017 looks identical to the '21 model) Nearly 4 years and over 40k miles and no issues.
17 Grand select here. Mine has been flawless as well for 70k and I tow an 1800lb trailer quite frequently on ATV trips. The little 2.4l struggles a bit through the mtns with that extra weight but the suspension handles it just fine.
Yes because you have deep pockets and can afford a more expensive vehicle, how about us blue collar workers that work for a living, that Rogue is very capable for less
@@Ybshy Then buy slightly used.
@@ROBMACDUI man f$&! That s$&?! I’ll put miles on a new vehicle
@@Ybshy And when that Jatco transmission fails out of warranty and you are stuck paying for a new one that initial savings over the Mazda will go up in smoke.
I’ve had both and the Mazda is a much much much better overall vehicle. The ride, handling and on road silent interior outperforms the Nissan. Plus the Nissan has the dreaded cvt.
I have a CX9 and my wife a cx5 she raves over hear car and its been 4 years since she bought it. LOL
@@saliston My dad had a 2009 Mazda CX-9 and he loved it (along with myself). My next car will probably be a Mazda once my current car quits! I live in Iowa too! Looking at mainly the Mazda 3 hatchback, cx-30 or cx-5! I'll probably go with the Mazda 3 hatch as I love that design the best!
Nissan went down the toilet when Renault took over. Sad. Mazda over Nissan any day.
Nothing wrong with the modern cvt, it's not 2005.
I seriously doubt you’ve had the brand new rouge and the brand new CX-5 unless you get a new car every 2 months. I’ve driven both the new and the old rouge and the new one is way way better.
Great video! I think it has to do CVT vs good ol 6 sad Automatic Transmission.
The TFL Slip Tests are my favourite videos.
I really really like these slip test videos you and your dad have been doing. Really great stuff. You can see how the car is thinking to get itself “unstuck” great job. Maybe do some 4x4 test with this if possible. Would be cool to see like a Jeep Wrangler vs a FJ cruiser for example
My 74 year old mother just bought a 2021 Rogue which is now her second Rogue. I couldn't talk her into even considering anything else. I'm glad I wasn't able to because after going with her to test drive and do a deal on the car I was sold. Very impressive what Nissan has packed into the vehicle, nicely finished inside and out as well. I highly recommend this car.
First Here, and will say I would take the Mazda any day over any modern-day Nissan...
yea but irl nissan will far outsell mazda
@@JogBird I mean at least in the US ofc but in my country, you rarely see the Rogue on the road and ton of CX-5s’.
@@JogBird Higher Volume sales never equated to a better vehicle. Nissan quality today is crap. Just because they having higher overall sales numbers than Brands like Subaru, Mazda, Volvo and the like here in the US, doesn’t make it better, and then one has to dissect sales to fleet accounts too to get a clearer picture of who’s actually buying Nissans, i.e. rental companies for fleet deals, etc...
This videos are my fav.good job Tommy 👍🏼👍🏼
great job as always Tommy.....love this segment....Mazda might have worked hard but it made it off compared to Nissan. I think you should create a list of results of this slip test. If I was shopping for a AWD SUV, I would LOVE to consult that list!!!
Videos like this make the auto manufacturers step up their game...great video..👍
I hope so, I seen some more expensive torque vectoring AWDs perform much slower then cheaper break traction systems
Tommy, this was great. I’d love to see the same, but with the Sprinter and Transit AWD vans!!
czcams.com/video/9517PmTaAEc/video.html
Just a suggestion. Maybe put a static platform under the wheel not on rollers, so the vehicle can’t crab it’s way across the rollers and gain traction on the roller frame.
When you gonna review the 2021 mazda 3 turbo?
Tommy,take those cars out in the snow,spin some donuts lets see how they really handle. Happy Trails.
I was amazed by Mazda off-road capabilities both in summer on a stip hill but also in the snow off-road
I really like both of these cars, however my wife fell in love with the nissan sl premium, so thats what we bought. Great video.
You're living my life!!!! Little Alex cameraman trying to push stuck vehicles. I swear I heard him say " I DIDNT SIGN UP 4 THIIS". NOW, the secret of getting the best acceleration in the CX's. OFF-ROAD mode and brake torque.
My guess is that, for overall driveability and performance in most conditions, the traction control system must not grab the brakes too hard when slipping. Otherwise, you may lose some forward momentum when accellerating on a slippery surface. Therefore, it makes sense for a car not to make it out of a 3-wheel slip test, without engaging som kind of "mode".
I'm the lucky one for 2021 CX-5 and thank you for making this video, thumbs up
Hope you can do a slip test on 21’ Toyota Sienna AWD soon? Because i am want to see how good is that AWD system work before i make my decision on FWD or AWD thanks in advance
I keep being pleasantly surprised by the CX5. At the same time, I feel like I am the only one. Not sure people have any idea this car is as good as it is.
My wife has a 2015 and just loves it. Shes always talking about how it drives.
My dad owns a 2019 Signature CX5. It's amazing!
@@saliston Our 2016 is pretty awesome, too
My 2016 is pretty awesome. I never thought about owning a Mazda until I did research for a smaller suv and tested the cx5. I was sold on it almost immediately.
I just got a 2021 CX-5 touring with a sv package and I LOVE IT!!! Mazda wasn’t even on my radar until my husband suggested I look at it. I had no idea what I could get for the money and I got a lot. I sacrificed a few inches in room all around from my last car but I don’t miss it. And it’s so fun to drive. So happy I went with a Mazda!
Thank you for these videos! Would love to have seen the traction control/ VDC turned off for the Nissan to see how much it made a difference. When I know I'm going to be in a slippery situation like getting over a snowbank, I turn off VDC so the car doesn't cut back as much power. Then I reengage for normal driving. You did turn it off once on the Mazda but not the Nissan.
Can we get the actual off road test again, you guys are like the only ones that do it
If they or Driving Sports TV don't test it, it's really hard to get any information on how crossovers perform off-pavement.
I agree! Great test and a good demo of what AWD can and can't do. Might as well call those cars 3WD.
I own a 2014 cx5 gt and so far so good! Love the car!!
I could feel my hair growing in nicely during this video 👍😉
Too bad it was ass hair.
Tommy, a Rogue and an AWD test all in one video? I think I'm in heaven 😍
Oh that Mazda looks so good...
They look so similar, I find it hilarious.
I do like that Mazda hood and grill though. If it had a 6 spd manual, I'd be in love.
I did research on the Mazda AWD system it uses cameras to detect when it will need AWD it’s not constantly on that’s why it did less of a better job but that’s how you get better gas mileage that way and The off-road button is tuned for exactly this and offering
Where did you read that? Don’t get that impression at all when my rear and front camera have a good amount of mud on them while on some very muddy back roads. To be far I always turn off traction control.
I'm curious on how a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport would do?
Found it interesting the Mazda turn on the headlights as soon as it slipped.
If the car is neutral or parked the led stay off until u hit the gas they will turn on
You should turn off traction control if your trying to get a vehicle unstuck. I remember a video you did a while back with a Subaru where you couldn’t make it up a snow covered road with traction control on, but it made it up no problem with traction control off.
When are you getting your new upgraded rollers?
Mazda 🙌🏼
These slip tests are great. Please do a slip test of the XC90.
XC90 passes it with no problems.
Some Audis too. Haven't seen any really modern AWD Station Wagons being tested
Why didn’t y’all slip test the Bronco sport? If so publish it
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 I wish but it is not available in Europe.
@@4x4.tests.on.rollers i'm particularly interested in the latest generation XC90 (2016+). in 2018 I believe they updated software that affected the AWD, so that would be an interesting comparison.
Although I’m liking the new Rogue and it did well on the slippage test, and Mazda did slightly better
Do an awd slip test for the challenger gt!!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but are you steadily letting onto the accelerator during these tests? Or are you modulating the accelerator?
I hope you can make slip test with 2021 nissan rogue and toyota rav4. Thanks.
Aloha I'm a Mazda product specialist . Id love to see these in real life implementation cause Mazda uses a predictive AWD that can detect changing road conditions and apply torque as needed based on situation.
...I'm a former TOYOTA/LEXUS owner who switched to MAZDA because of it's simplicity and reliability. To be honest with you I don't see much difference in owning MAZDAS as opposed to TOYOTAS : )
They all do that, including the Nissan.
Review the Nissan against the new outlander with their s-awc. Both share power trains so it’s be great to see how the awd system is tuned
Excellent video as always guys. Suggestion - could you come up with some ratings mechanism to grade the cars based on these slip tests. It would greatly help consumers like me.
Hey guys y’all should do a mdx sh-awd test
Suggestion: you should let the wheels spin longer than you do, maybe for a set time, same for all vehicles. Something like 30 seconds should do it. Sometimes, it takes a while for the system to figure it out. On many tests, I get the impression the vehicle is just about to get out of the rollers, after spinning, but then you say: "nope, it can't do it"...!
In the real world, letting your tires spin makes it worse. He is testing the cars properly. Spinning for 30 seconds would be foolish.
Ii have Michelin m&s rated tires on my 2013 CX5 and they can crawl out of anything .saves me a lot of shoveling in the winter.
I actually love the exterior look of the new Rogue
Mazda + clutch LSD at the rear and helical in the front for me. ;)
Did you do this test on Bronco Sport?
I love these videos! Both of these vehicles AWD would be great for %99 of people. Rogue is looking better than before.
I agree with you. I think it needs electrification to be perfect.
I would say both vehicles' AWD systems would be great 99% of the "time", but it's that 1% when you are stuck in the Nissan and not in the Mazda that can make a big difference. Being stuck sucks.
The Mazda is only $1000 more yet has a turbo making nearly 70 more hp and 140 more lbs of tq on 91+ octane. That to me is the end of the story. Nighty night Rogue.
@@Chrisnuzzo76 most people buying cars don’t even know what a cvt is let alone care about so much more horsepower. Price and looks put butt’s in seats. The Mazda looks ugly as hell.
@@Chrisnuzzo76 and the turbo's dont last just like the New Rogue getting rid of the reliable 2.5 and going to a smaller turbo motor, they dont last the only place they do last is on Diesels
which in this class do you believe is the best on this test?
You guys need to try traction control off for the failed tests
Have u guys done this test with the Lexus IS? Or any other 4 wheel drive sedans? Lol
Tommy, your ad was interrupted by another ad, double dipping much?
my Rogue is a 2017, and at 6'7" I was sorry to give up a inch of headroom over my Nissan Cube, but they were not selling those anymore,,, Hope they kept some headroom and legroom, it's gotten to a point where just my height rules out many vehicles.
6'5" here. Get the Kia Soul Turbo. Kind of quick with ample headroom. Avoid the sunroof as you loose headroom. FWD only is a bit of a letdown, just get some good winter tyres.
@@talltomtube in the RGV part of Texas no need for snow or winter tires, often daytime temps are 70-80F and snow is a 100 year event where everything shuts down. On the plus side, I grew my first pineapple last year (takes 4 years)
Have you done a Jeep Grand Cherokee yet? I'd be interested in seeing how well that does.
Me too!
grand cherokee would be an overkill for such test, I mean it's the Wrangler's big bro.
Great Video! and smart comparison. The Canadians have long praised mazda for doing well in snow and ice and arguably second only to subaru up there (and they would know) so I suspected the mazda would do well here. the new rogue is certainly a contender and have vastly improved.
Subaru’s are definitely not the best anymore. The cvt transmission limits capability. Mazda could easily outperform a Subaru.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 but as far as full-time AWD capability Subaru has that down to a science.
@@twillias4714 on manual transmission and older models with a real limited slip differential and a traditional automatic - absolutely agree. On the new models with cvt transmissions -not so much. The initial torque limitations on the cvt transmissions severely impact off road ability in certain situations. Example? A dirt and gravel road with an uneven surface at a steep grade. In fact, TFL has a video that proves this.
Amazing to see that in 2021 manufacturers still can't put their AWD systems to work as good as diff lockers....check the FCA Toro, for sale in south america, can't handle a bit of sand.
Please do the nissan armada on the slip test!!
how is your Slo-Mo camera battery always full?
Hey Tommy, do you have any documentation where you keep track of how the vehicles do? Maybe even a Rogue split test 3 seconds to move... or failed etc. that type of documentation, i'd love to look at it!
I want to see if locking the awd mode helps
Good test.... thanks. It seems you were favoring the mazda. Should have given the nissan a chance on the 3 wheel roller test.
I LOVE my 2021 Nissan Rogue Platinum!
Really liking the Rogue, how much is the "Alex" option?
I’m wanting to get that Mazda
All of the issues these AWD systems have with traction could be simply solved with a limited slip on the rear.
$
Not only is that expensive but it isn’t really necessary, for the average person who only uses there AWD system for snow like 11 days a year. Pretty much every new AWD vehicle does fine in light to moderate snow so it’d be kinda redundant
I’ve driven the cx-5 in the snow on hills and they never got stuck. This test is too extreme
Having Ltd slip rear diff will cost more money! Just get a dude to push your rear end no cost at all!
LSDs are not that complicated. Let it be more money. and 50% more capable.
Congrats on reaching 1 million subs.... the mazda cx5 performed better than the nissan rogue...Nice video
please test the jeep cherokee trailhawk
Price tags in this class are out of control!
Tommy, I'm sorry but the Mazda DID NOT "make it off" on the final test; if you look closely, the vehicle slipped onto the right lip(s) of the roller equipment and "caught the lip" ... it DID NOT pass the test.
It did not pass it here but it can do it. Hard task but it does it in offroad mode.
perhaps ... but in any case the Nissan appears to be all-around more capable 😊
@@woxie4990 Not perhaps but for sure, I was testing it 🙂
How about the Mitsubishi Outlander GT tested against them? Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Toyota and Mitsubishi?
Outlander GT cannot pass the last test, Rav4 cannot pass it to. Eclipse Cross did it, Subaru Forester and Outback also did it.
Make same test uphill
Did you ever try this test with the Nissan Frontier Pro 4x?
No. Tommy is very fickle with his roller tests. For example they had a Bronco Sport the other day and didn’t test it on the rollers. If they had, it’d had been a CZcams first and exclusive. I have no idea why he’s not more consistent.
Test the Acura Rdx sh-awd
Anything with sh-awd!
The 2016-2017 MDX won't pass the single rear wheel on the ground .
I think their AWD mechanism is quite similar. The reason why CX-5 got passed for the last test is based on the more powerful torque engine. Thank you for this great test!
Negative. The Mazda’s AWD system is programmed to lock the wheels that are spinning so that power can be sent to the wheels with traction when you put it in the off road mode.
I have learned since this was made that Mazda's "off-road" mode is actually sends power to all four wheels exactly like Subaru does. When he tried in normal mode, it primarily powers the front wheels for better gas mileage and barely does anything with the rear wheels. So the equivalent is like a FWD car in normal mode, and like a Subaru in off-road mode. Why it did better once it was turned on. Now knowing this from Mazda it makes perfect sense.
What are the rollers? Are "car wheel rollers" something you can just buy? Would like to test my GT-R. lol
As a major Nissan fan, I REALLY wish they'd quit putting damn CVTs in everything...
I’m not bias toward either of these two, but folks are CLEARLY not paying attention by claiming the Mazda won. Both did about equally well until the 3 wheel slip test where the Nissan only got stuck once and needed no other mode to exit the 3rd test. The Mazda was stuck and only made it out because he pushed the off road button on the 3rd test, and then it slid off the rollers on the last test. Had it not slid off the rollers, it would have needed a push too. So technically the Mazda was stuck twice and needed a special off road mode and to slide off the rollers to exit the 3 wheel slip tests. Go back and watch the video and you will see.
Exactly 💯
I love the new Rogue interior and exterior.
Too bad that they are too fragile.
For your test I'd be curious to see you switching the sides of the diagnol slip test - meaning you do one with driver side front wheel slipping and one with the passenger side front wheel slipping (do same for rear wheels)
At least with the Mazda it didn’t get stuck! If you want to get stuck get the Rogue!
If the engineer says the offroad mode makes a big difference, and if the vehicle can detect which wheels are slipping....why not just engineer that mode to kick in automatically?
At first glance of the title, I thought this might be in reference to faulty CVT's.
I love the Mazda!
Hey guys.. Why you dont do a slip test for the 2021 Toyota Venza. You did a review on that but no slip test! Did toyota paid you not to film a slip test?
I wonder how these two compare in fuel mileage?
I did own a Rogue in 2012 and it was darn near perfect, great fuel mileage, powerful enough to haul my ATV and comfortable on any drive, short hops or long drives.
I have not had a chance to drive a Mazda, but always wonder what those are like too, so I have to rely on TFL to help out here.
Can these tow SUV's tow, fuel mileage, road comfort, there are a few suggestions for you guys there at TFL to tell us about.
The mazda will be worst for sure in fuel mileage but better everywhere else
I switched from a ‘13 Rogue to an ‘18 CX5. The Mazda is better in every category including fuel mileage (187hp version) with the exception of cargo room. It’s not even close. I have driven newer versions of the Rogue as well and still the Mazda is such a better car. The handling, quietness, quality of materials and craftsmanship leads you to feel you are in a much more expensive car. My next car will likely be a CX9.
All I will say is that I love my 2021 Rogue! I looked at the 2022 Madza CX-5 & really considered it. Once I drove the Rogue, I was sold! More features. Less expensive.
I went from a 2010 Rogue to a 2021 Rogue and man they really did something different this time, mine is also AWD since I live in Illinois and need it for the snow. My 2010 was decent in the snow and I can't wait to see how the 2021 does.
Mazda makes the best AWD system in the world. As of 2016, even better than Subaru.
CZcams puts us through enough commercials without you guys doing it LAMO If I see many more of these commercials I need to find myself another channel🤗
Good luck. Either the channel will be too kind to manufacturers for fear of losing out on press cars or the channel won't be around for very long.
Can I come to test my Jeep Cherokee?
What is impressive about an AWD vehicle that cannot send power to the one wheel with contact on the ground?
I don’t care for either, but I’d take a traditional transmission over a CVT any day. Just saying 🤷🏾♂️
💯
I take the Mazda all the time. When you get stuck and need a push, the look of the car will get people to you. I’m serious
Wheels on Mazda went off rollers in last test.
the million is cloooose
