What Is Subaru X-MODE and How It Works

I found out today how fast the crash avoidance works on my 2024 Forester Wilderness. A guy cut across three lanes right in front my me as we were do 55 mph, he quickly slowed down and the wilderness decelerated and the crash avoidance started blinking on the upper screen along with beeping. Had I been in one of our other vehicles it would have been game over.

I have had my 2024 forester sport for less than 2 months and already put over 7000 miles on it. honestly i never saw myself buying a Subaru, not until the morning i bought it. the car has been amazing i especially love the adaptive headlight when driving on a curve road. never felt as save as i feel in this car.

Every time I watch one of Alex's videos, I learn something new. I love this!

My 2024 Forester has the dial for Xmode, lower down right in front of cup holders. No big screen on my car, and I'm glad.

I purchased a 24 Crosstrek Wilderness. Unfortunately not all the features were explained. Your videos are awesome. I’ve binged watched several videos and been able to apply lots of them. I appreciate your content and your detailed explanations. These videos are awesome.

Upvoted for the nice doggie demonstrating for us how to climb a steep hill! Oh, and X-Mode is pretty cool too lol.

Dude, you are the best!! Thanks for all the knowledge.

Exactly right, Subaru Symmetrical AWD one of the best out there 👍👍

Thank you Alex. Forever grateful for your videos. I absolutely adore my Outback, incidentally same colour and model as yours! In appreciation, Amanda from Australia 😊

Thanks, Alex. I understood the theory of the Xmode, but showing how it works in reality is very helpful.

Nicely done! Direct and informative as always!

Love Alex's videos. Very educational.

It is like you were reading my mind. I've had my Subaru for a week and wanted to go back to the manual to look up more about X-Mode you made this easy to understand. Thank you! Now I will go binge watch more of your videos.

Wow, I do have this feature in my 2022 Outback, and I have never really known anything about the features. Thanks a million for this video!!! Enjoy your trip too!

Loved Cleo’s cameo

thanks Alex, that was very good 👍

I rolled my 2013 Outback in 2020 (bought it new) heading down a steep, snowy 160-yard Air BnB driveway while on a ski weekend. Had no X-mode then and the car broke away, slidwent off a 15 foot cliff, rolled over one and half times, and ended up, driver's side down with my son's family (two little kids) in their Grand Cherokee behind me. He almost lost it too. BYW I had not one bruise. I broke a tooth apparently from clinching my jaw so hard while tumbling.. Air BnB paid for the tooth, but not the Subaru. What did I do? I bought a used pristine 2015 Outback that was loaded. Yes, it had X mode. Best car I have ever owned, driving it now for 4 years, with 117,000 miles on it. Keeping my eyes open for a 2023 to upgrade a bit. Love Outbacks.

I just had an incident in my 2019 Sport where I lost traction on the interstate due to snowy conditions. Wish I had seen the video beforehand as I would have had the car in Xmode. Luckily I didn’t hit anything but sure was a scary situation!

I love the way that you explain all Subaru features. I'm a subscriber from now on.

Hi Alex, I always wanted to have SUBARU - now I have The 2021 Outback for nearly 2 years. Your vidoes improve my skills. Have a nice day from Slovakia 👍👊
