Difficult to decipher real-world or meaningful results except for a contest involving muddy, rainy, uneven ground hill climbs confusing things with variables of tires, driving styles, speed / momentum of attack etc... Even wheelbase / weight distribution of each will factor in.
With average or better than average A/S tires, I was happy with the way our '02 Tribute, '08 CX-7 and now, our current '16 CX-9 does for daily driver duty including ruts of snow on streets and highway, slush or even icy spots here and there.
Terrain here (even the cement/asphalt type) is very hilly, mountainous and curved, off-camber routes. With snow and ice, that equates to treacherous conditions and especially so for drivers who lack the experience or craft of winter driving conditions.
It's a mildly interesting vid but most of us already did the research or homework and found the vehicle for our intended purposes and expectations. WTH - Spending a few tens of thou makes it a somewhat conditional purchase.
No doubt in my mind, I'd be back to the homework if that vid represented my driveway or my route to work every day. Even considering, the vid itself didn't really tell me which was best for those specific conditions.
The narrator stated rains were coming down heavier as the Mazda was taking on a hill, some drivers were more aggressive and speedy going into the test routes as if it were about driver ego or ability versus "following the rules" to test the machine....
It just appeared to be a fun day for those car enthusiasts that like to muck it up in the great outdoors and I don't blame 'em one bit.
