Mitsubishi Outlander S-AWC Diagonal test note: ** Wind sound warning, it was blasting wind that day we filmed. The Outlander has 6 different modes, you can feel and hear the difference on our test hill. The best result was achieved in Normal or Mud mode at full throttle. But there is that roll-back movement even when pressing the accelerator that is unacceptable and might be dangerous. Leave TCS ON, it's no use when it's OFF and gives similar results. Expect also similar results with the Nissan Rogue. The system will offer greater handling on the tarmac and on a snow-covered road, but when facing a real challenge like sand, roller, and our test hill, S-AWC is not what it use to be!

2022 Mitsubishi Outlander: An impressive 86% "reliability" and "quality" rate by "JD POWER" (higher than Toyota and Honda), A stunning almost 50% "resale value" after 5 years of ownership by "CAR EDGE" 100% made in Japan
I drive this on the daily and it’s great for off road usage. The test was done well for sure although in real life one would cut the wheel a bit to try to get traction. Also, the vehicle didn’t seem to roll back in any unexpected dangerous way - like a track car, it’s good to get training for off-road if you never have done so before. Otherwise, I personally bought it for the S-AWC. 😎
Yep it's still capable and one of the best AWD system in it's class the problem with this one is that it has more modes, the older Outlander only has 3 and those 3 modes you can't really feel the difference while this has 7 and there very different from each other and thus makes the Outlander look bad because your going through all of the modes.
I’ve watched your videos over the years and I recently revisited past Mitsubishi videos. The S-AWC looked to preform very similar on almost all expect the 2016 Outlander. I noticed the roll back on all of them. I also noticed the Eclipse Cross was worse, even at the lower grade hill.
It's really good some of you may think that it's bad but it's actually really good. It got up that ramp easily take note that AWD systems take time to react. Keep it in Auto with traction control on or mud with traction control on and boom. Also SAWC is for rallying not for heavy off-road Snow, Tarmac, Sand all of those are for rallying not off-road so that's why it struggles but in Mud and Auto with traction control on it shines
I love my two they are great I have had all Mitsubishi’s 2003 gallant 2015 lancer 2016 outlander sport 2019 eclipse cross 2022 outlander his and hers snow tires I’m good just have to put it in mud or snow and it is a tank
People say it's bad and not as good as the older Outlanders but it's still the same capable SAWC the only problem that this has is that it has more modes the old ones have only 3 which has really no difference to all of the 3 modes while this has 7 I think modes which makes it seem really bad because your going through 7 of the modes. On this you can really feel the difference just keep it in Auto and Traction Control on or Mud with Traction Control on and viola and you've got a capable SUV.
I know Mitsubishi does not use the best factory equipped tires. When I bought my 2022 Outlander ES and looked at the tires on the new car inventory, I do not think the same tire was used twice for a factory tire. Some had Nexen, Toyo, Yokohama...etc. After about 12,000 miles I took off the Toyo A45 tires, had a flat after about two weeks of ownership, and replaced with a more aggressive tread.
Turbo can help but it's not crucial . What it will really benefit from is an exclusively electrically driven rear axle, much like the (recently discontinued) Acura RLX Sport Hybrid. That will eliminate the drive shaft altogether, along with the central and rear differentials, significantly flattening the rear floor hump. The saved weight can instead be utilized by a small 'buffer' battery pack for regeneration and EV-like instant acceleration dashes.
Without locking diffs Subaru is usually top of class for AWD. From what Ive seen from other car review test Mazda 2nd and then Acura 3d. If you are referring to locking diffs then we start talking about rock climbers which AWD are not.
These look like beautiful cars no doubt but how is their reliability? That is the real question! I've never owned a Mitsubishi in my life and have heard nothing but horrible things about them after 100K miles. How good are they at teaching 200k+? 🤔
@@Chronotri I ended up getting a 2018 Ford Explorer Sport with 40K miles for $30k.. Much more features than that Outlander provided and at a slightly cheaper price! Oh and don't forget how aggressive they look! Love it! lol
Our journalist association required us now to have a real test track with insurance and security measures in place upon the manufacturer's request. So if we do them again, it's only gonna be 0-100kmh, not 1/4 miles like we used to... Track in Québec are close most part of the year and are closing to make place for realtor project..... we don't have the budget to create a test track or buy land to do it now. So we are in a dilemma, still do them 0-60 0-100 max and/or respect the limit because we will have to do that on a secluded public road, or simply abandon those videos. feel free to tell us what you want to see.
Mitsubishi system is an adaptive system ... its not lock or set... it changes base on driving style.... another note is that the 4wd system is tailor to high speed driving not as seen in this video.... how ever a steady gas pedal and the system would correct it self n send power to the require wheel .... but just the ease up off the gas pedal reset the adaptive mode.. so when vehicle about to send power to traction wheel its been canceled by driver..
@@natashac5861 mitsubishi, nissan, Jeep, Hyundai have the same pattern of design. Don't like it at all. Outlander may be better awd, better comfort, fuel effective...but the outside and especially the front 🤢
@@JustChillingNahhhhMean I am with mitsubishi outlander sport since 2013 . Had 2013, 2015 , 2017 and 2019 now .they were all 4wd button inside .. Buying them brand new and usually only put 5-10.000 miles before to trade in . But this year I will hold till they change front design.
@@JustChillingNahhhhMean my SUV is always in a great shape and clean no scratches . And when I buy I am a professional to negotiate to the same price as I got my first one in 2013. Since I have excellent credit history I always have 0%, 0 down payment and the same payments what fits my budget . Only because they make good money on my trade in it works both ways . Black SUV 4wd , with 5000-7000 only miles on it will be always good for Minnesota market
Times have changed and unfortunately the current iteration of S-AWC has been downgraded with more dependence on more electronics control systems rather than more traditional LSDs and such. Quite disappointing so to speak......
It's not downgraded infact it's upgraded also it's due to more Modes as the old Outlander has only 3 just keep it in mud mode and traction control on and voala you've got the same capable Outlander
