Performance Analysis

Apollo Alnac 4G Winter shows mid-pack winter performance overall with occasional strong results in wet braking and value, but persistent weaknesses on snow and in aquaplaning limit its standings. In the 2024 full Auto Bild test it finished 12/23 with balanced wet results but notably weaker snow metrics and aquaplaning, while noise and value were positives. Earlier tests show similar patterns: decent wet braking in large shootouts, but snow braking/handling tends to trail the leaders. A standout early SUV result (2/8 in 2015) appears model/size-specific and not representative of the broader 205/55 R16 trend.
