Time to test Subaru X-mode out on a real-world test! Available only on Subaru vehicles, X-MODE complements Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD to allow drivers to take the road less traveled, get muddier, and have more daring adventures. The system provides advanced, all-road capability and rugged performance — and elevates driving confidence, especially on uneven surfaces or challenging inclines. The X-MODE system, which is standard on all Ascent, Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback models equipped with the LineartronicCVT, incorporates Hill Descent Control and goes above and beyond AWD to pull you through the stickiest of situations. A dual-function X-MODE is available on select Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback models. This version allows the driver to select between two different settings tailored to specific driving conditions, namely snow/dirt and deep snow/mud. When traveling up an incline with low traction conditions such as over very uneven rugged terrain, X-MODE uses lower gear ratios to generate extra power at the wheels that have the most grip. The transmission control unit (TCU) also provides 25% more AWD clutch pressure to control rotational differences between the front and rear wheels. This provides added stability, surefootedness, and the extra forward momentum required to climb more easily. This is a real little go-anywhere vehicle with 8.7 inches of ground clearance and standard X-MODE!

Subaru Forester X-mode Test: Best results are achieved by enabling X-mode, period! you can sometimes hear a sound when X-mode is trying to limit the wheel that spins. TCS was on all the time, it works better that way. We miss the time we had a rear Limited Slip Differential in those Subaru! We have more for you soon, a real off-road diagonal test on dirt and grass!
