Hill Dash Cars

Seven vehicles, four upgrades each and eight paint jobs. Every car runs on the same real physics, so each one really does drive differently: here is how they compare, and where to spend your coins.

All 7 Vehicles

The numbers are the ones on each car's card in the garage: top speed in km/h, and power, grip and fuel out of 100, where 100 is the best any fully tuned vehicle reaches. The first number is the car as you buy it; the second, after every upgrade is at its tenth step.

Vehicle	Price	Top speed	Power	Grip	Fuel
Trail Jeep	Free	57 to 86 km/h	28 to 58	63 to 100	31 to 75
Rally Car	4,000	71 to 107 km/h	39 to 82	63 to 100	30 to 71
Quad Bike	6,500	60 to 89 km/h	37 to 77	63 to 100	26 to 63
Monster Truck	9,000	66 to 99 km/h	24 to 51	63 to 100	36 to 88
Farm Tractor	11,000	45 to 68 km/h	41 to 85	63 to 100	42 to 100
Dirt Bike	15,000	66 to 99 km/h	16 to 34	33 to 52	26 to 63
Super Car	22,000	75 to 113 km/h	48 to 100	63 to 100	30 to 71

What Each One Is Good at

Trail Jeep. The all-rounder you start with. Every level in the game can be finished in it, and the gold times are set in a Trail Jeep with no upgrades at all.
Rally Car. The first big step up: a quarter faster and noticeably stronger than the jeep, and low and stiff, so it stays planted at speed. A favourite for chasing level times.
Quad Bike. Light and punchy, with a small tank. Quick off the line and easy to save in the air, but it runs dry sooner on long free rides.
Monster Truck. Huge wheels roll over every bump, the soft suspension soaks up big landings, and the tank is large. It is heavy, though, so it pulls less hard up a steep climb than its size suggests.
Farm Tractor. The slowest vehicle, but only the Super Car pulls harder, and it has the biggest tank of all. Fully tuned, it holds the most fuel in the game: the free-ride distance machine.
Dirt Bike. By far the lightest, and it drives its back wheel only, so it has the least grip. It spins round fast in the air, which makes it the trick machine for flips and combos.
Super Car. The fastest and, fully tuned, the most powerful vehicle in the game. Built for gold times and races, not for the roughest hills.

Not sure which to buy? The daily challenge lends you a different vehicle every day, tuned to step 4 in every upgrade: a free test drive.

The Four Upgrades

Every vehicle has four upgrades, each with ten steps. Upgrades belong to the vehicle you buy them for.

Upgrade	Each step adds	Ten steps add
Engine	11% more pulling power and 5% more top speed	Double the pull, half again the speed
Suspension	Firmer damping and springs	Softer landings, steadier over bumps
Tyres	6% more grip	60% more grip on slopes, sand, mud and ice
Fuel tank	14% more fuel	Almost two and a half times the fuel

What they cost. Each step costs about half as much again as the one before. The first step of an upgrade costs 150 coins on the Trail Jeep, 260 on the Rally Car, 380 on the Monster Truck, 520 on the Dirt Bike, 600 on the Quad Bike, 700 on the Farm Tractor and 950 on the Super Car. Taking one upgrade all the way to step 10 costs 21,560 coins on the Trail Jeep and 136,520 on the Super Car, so the early steps are by far the best value.

What to Upgrade First

Engine for the levels. More pull means faster climbs, and gold times are all about speed.
Fuel tank for free rides. Distance is all that counts there, and running dry is how most free rides end.
Tyres before Frost Peaks and Sun Dunes, where the ground is slippery and the wheels spin.
Suspension for the Moon and for big jumps, where hard landings bounce you out of control.

Spread your coins: three or four cheap steps in two upgrades help more than one upgrade pushed to the expensive top steps.
