I have the 2.2 Diesel with S-AWC and the system works incredibly well. I had friends with Audi Q5 and BMW X5 get stuck at my mountain house in the snow. Never a problem with the Outlander. If it get's really rough: 4WD LOCK and Traction Control OFF!
Man, your test clips are the best! Yes, I think it will pass the 3 roller test, but it might make a difference which wheel has traction. With S-AWC there is an electronic limited slip diff in the front axle...
I took a video when my BMW 5GT Xdrive friend got stuck a second time at my place and put comments in it ruclips.net/video/a5EDOMAzV1I/видео.html Same spot with the Outlander ruclips.net/video/L_kR_PfBUdo/видео.html Check my channel for more Outlander S-AWC Demos like this ruclips.net/video/Ebg7rXdU_48/видео.html
+hossguitar Yes, there is electronically controlled front diff, but I think it is designed more for torque vectoring while cornering than for work as a diff locker :) Tests on 3 rollers coming soon.
It works much like ordinary four wheel drive system which is amazing. I have seen people driving it onto the muds and it still runs quite well for a AWD not a 4WD. Two thumbs up!
duszaniespokojna Basically it's the power from the engine send to each wheels. 4WD in general is more sufficiency because of stronger components and a piece body structure. I hope you know what I mean. For AWD system, I've seen many over advertised by the manufacturers but Mitsubishi is one of the best if not the best, but they never advertised or emphasized enough for such good system. they had. Don't you think so? :)
+DirectX3 Well, I do not stick to any definition of AWD or 4WD. Subaru is awd with permanent system, others are awd or 4wd with on-demand systems etc. When it comes to Mitsubishi - I had one for 5 years, with basic All Wheel Control system. It worked great, but traction control was one of the weakest and slowest... Now it is a little bit better, but still this system doesn't pass all tests, even in Super All Wheel Control version from Outlander GT. Maybe I will test Eclipse Cross soon to check if it's better than previous systems :-)
duszaniespokojna I own the Outback and the CVT in that is horrible. If you try in uphill backward, you pretty much will get stuck in a light off road situation. I drive is in worst weather condition area daily and that I can for sure. :)
+DirectX3 Outback got better results in my tests than any Mitsubishi, but you know... These are just rollers :-) And I never had a car with CVT, so nothing I can say about it. Did you try to compare Outback with some Mitsubishi in real conditions?
AWC ECO is just a fuel saving version of NORMAL (no torque sent to the rear axle when cruising). I use AWC ECO when it is dry on the highway and in the city. When it's wet or I zip around country roads I switch to NORMAL. Lock is real 4WD and I always use it on snow and loose mountain tracks. Snow mode makes a long gas pedal, which I hate and I never use that mode.
+MrBravo143 I am private person (not any automotive journalist) so it is not easy to find the cars for tests, if I only get some Outlander Phev, I will test it :)
hands down the best testing i have seen on youtube. great job
That is a gorgeous looking Outlander. The black on black basically makes any car look better. Great test. Impressive with the system!

And the ELSD is off when traction control is off.

You video should be part of Mitsubishi official video on outlander's efficiency ! Ashok India
We make only videos/tests like this 🙂 Greetings from Poland!
I was expecting a better showing from SAWC. It seems like it really only made a difference in snow and lock.
+niuhuskieguy I think S-AWC makes major difference while cornering...

Perfect👌👌👍
Привет какой год и сколько лошадей ?
Hi, it was 3.0 V6 from 2014.
please test the outlander phev.
+MrBravo143 I am private person (not any automotive journalist) so it is not easy to find the cars for tests, if I only get some Outlander Phev, I will test it :)
Well I have seen the PHEV test and it's not good :-( I think from this channel.
What kind of mpg are you getting on this?? Looking into maybe getting one as a commuter car.
Unfortunately I don't know, that's not my car.
What tires are on this outlander?
Unfortunately I don't know.
Wheels 18”?
No information :(
Is this the 2018 gt?
No, a few years older, 2014 if I remember well.
sure was bouncy and creaky.
Че она скрипит
Так она 2014 г. выпуска😂
