New Video X3 trying to climb up

Another TV review. In this one, the X3 has some difficulties to climb up the icy road. Later the driver try the same road with an Opel without success too. Only the last car does better... but it seems to be with the helps of front snow's chains.

I wouldn't blame the X3. Clearly the tires have no grip when the X3 gets stuck. The Opel has winter tires, and it also gets stuck.

Two observations: the x3 doesn't have winter tires and there is no way that you can go over that hill without chains with any 4 wheeled vehicle. I call this video bogus as a review, it might be fun to watch but not rigorous.

Silly comparison, ignore it - that X3 has summer tyres.

My X3 with Nokian winter tyres drives in those conditions (in Switzerland) just fine.
