I'm from Australia...I have taken the Outlander 2.4 (model before the one review here) on a huge beach. I had no problem at all HOWEVER you must use LOCK mode and disable ESP AND drop tyre pressures to 12-15psi. No street going SUV (except for ones with proper low range) would be able to go one soft sand without what I have said.
@@georgeschannel9411 auto hold is for stop-start traffic, so you dont need to keep you foot on the brake. The thing you mentioned is hill start assist, which prevent the car from rolling back.
Same im in Australia i have a Pajero and no road going small SUV would be able to go up that sandy hill with that speed even if it had a locking diff. :)
Driving on sand requires tyre pressure 16-18psi. And you don’t go over the same track you just got bogged in, getting stuck in the same hole. And for driving uphill you need more momentum.
@@CarQuestion what is that link going to prove? Drop your PSI is the very first thing anyone considering trail riding through or over sand deep or not is taught to do...if not they learn very quickly. The Subaru we photographed DID out perform the Outlander...however it was not in the sand or over 4WD tracks. I see what your review is attempting to achieve and I am agreeing with you in this situation but this is NOT how anyone should attempt to traverse in any real world situation. Keep up the videos...you wont make 100% of the people happy ever.
@@studiolucephotography8484 thank you! I don’t know why this Car Question is being aggressive! Not sure what they’re trying to prove but my SEL didn’t have any issues at all. It went smoothly it’s like butter
Perfect demonstration of how not to Drive on soft sand. lower the Tyrepressure , keep momentum, I have an 2004 Xtrail in Australia (Rouge in the USA) , and I use Lock mode & and no problems if your smart about it.
what pressure or tires are we talking about? The rear wheels of the machine do not rotate. The all-wheel drive system is failing. And tires with high tread are not needed; bald tires can be used on the sand.

Momentum is your best friend in sand. Even a Jeep 4x4 will get stuck in sand if you don’t have momentum. It will just keep digging deeper and deeper with all four weeks spinning.
I don’t think I have ever seen such an incomplete series of videos. Not even text about what mode the systems are in, traction control on or off, sand mode, AWD lock on off or if they even have it. So so many ways to do these tests and you can’t explain anything? Wow. Too bad also, because it’s a really cool test.
guess you miss our comments: Mitsubishi Outlander S-AWC sand est note: The Outlander has 6 different modes, in the sand, you can't feel and hear the difference! It's all the same. There was no best result, TCS ON or OFF. 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! Stay away from the sand or try to get more speed and maybe make it up the hill.
I have a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT with the V6 and I know for a fact mine can do that once. The fact that Mitsubishi team up with Nissan is a fail. They dropped the V6, no more GT, and no more real transmission. Mitsubishi compisate with all the technology and buttons but left out the power. Every single trim you choose will have the same exact engine. I would be downgrading if I traded in my Outlander for this new one. Don't get me wrong, it looks really good and more bold. The technology is very nice and the Mitsubishi version is way better than the Nissan when it comes to looks and style.
Oh wow, didn't know they dropped the GT and the stuff that goes with it. Guess no more Outlanders for me unless they come to their senses. My 2017 GT will have to live forever.
They still offer the GT in Canada and it's just the SEL in the States... Just because it doesn't have the V6 anymore, doesn't make it a downgrade, as it's an upgrade in every single other way. It's better looking, more comfortable, has more standard features, more tech, and is bigger and more practical for North American use. The last generation was nice but severely outdated and designed around the Asian market as most people over 6 feet tall couldn't move the seat far enough back to fit in it properly. This is a huge upgrade and competes with the majority of its class (CRV, Rav 4, Rogue, Escape, Santa Fe, etc)...
If you're willing to move to a PHEV, then wait for the 2023 Outlander PHEV. This is Mitsubishi's own thing in terms of battery, and electric motors. No word on what the engine they'll use, but both electric motors, "...will have a 40% increase in power. If accurate, that puts the front motor at 112hp and the rear motor and 132hp, but the total system output isn't clear." -MotorTrend From what I know, the V6 Outlander made around 230hp. So if it's true about the motors output, then the PHEV already has more power by electric motors than the 2021 GT trim has. But we gotta wait until they start selling it to know the figures. And again, this depends on you willing to move to a PHEV.
I am not an experienced off roader, however I have driven pajero (3.8 liter V6) on sand, here are my observations - high momentum is necessary on sand - Traction control tends to be a liability rather then asset on sand Probably a vehicle with CVT will fare poor on sand due to its inability to deliver high torque.
I have a 2023 outlander , I am also an experienced sand driver, all modes do not offer anything for sand just keep it on normal and traction off because you need momentum/ speed and not slow driving on sand. Maybe turn on traction when stuck in sand and lower pressure
I've driven 4x4 pickups that did the same thing because they didn't have traction control (didn't exist in the 1980s) and it didn't have locking differentials or even a locking transfer case like my old Range Rover had. A normal 4x4 would bury down as bad, if not worse than this. Plus, as another commenter said, you gotta air down the tires for balloon effect to float on the sand and provide more traction. Why did they put low-profile, low-rider tires on an SUV for?
we had our FOOT THE METAL, it just don't react like the subi, it doesn't give more than that.... check out the roller / slip test. we start at the same speed, if you keep the forester accelerator to the max it will be more reactive.
It is not just lack of momentum. In the first part of the Subaru video, look at when the car is stopped and they are trying to get it going. The Subaru is spinning both the front and rear wheels, indicating that it is transferring power to the back. In the above video, the Outlander spins only the front wheels, indicating that it is a front biased system that isnt effectively transferring power to the rear when the front loses power.
Well this car is definitely not for sand with the low profile tyres... but if you really wanted to test it... get maybe 17s ... lower the psi to see if its any good
We know, but that CVT is just keeping that vehicle from reacting like ALL OTHERS, that means sending power to the wheels in the condition we are showing to you in that video.
Looks like the incline didn't help but on our 2023 Outlander S-AWC it worked best in beach sand using the Mud mode. You can feel the wheels getting equal torque vs Normal mode where tires would spin and the car would slow down. In Mud mode we were able to keep a contant speed keeping at 2K RPM and it was some thick sand. Keeping your momentum/speed did help. *just learned from a Mitsubishi site that the new Outlander models have an auto lock differential. so it will lock and unlock based on mode and conditions. **found more that this system is Brake Actuated Limited Slip Differential, which will apply brakes to the slipping wheel to distibute power.
Everything wrong! I have owned the PHEV for 6 years, and never had the need for driving uphill sand. I live in Norway, and uphill snow/ice is my "problem". The car is amazing for everyday use
I swear he is doing this with the hand brake on. he seems to do this test differently compared to the forester test. Also, turn off traction control and stability control. They will both kill power on sand.
@@CarQuestion "When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off the ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle." straight out of the manual.
This is the SAWD. It is NEVER a "lock all wheel" mode. For slow drive (climbing) this is not the perfect transmission for the driver. For all other 95% usage this will crush other cars performance (look for example Rally Darka). Every driver has to choose the purpose he wants to use a car and this leads to the buying decition. The market has many options of good stuff. 4x4 is only one system of transmission. 4x4 never wins a rally but often mud competitions. Your choise what you want to do.
You hit cars often so hard in the sand and with the outland you are so gentle. Give it some rpm and push it. Make it a fun drive. AND take some good tires for the job.
I see a LOT of people don’t know this IS a Nissan Rogue in a Mitsubishi Outlander clothes. The underpinnings are all Nissan! You can’t compare past gen in-house Mitsu S-AWC bc it is nothing like Nissans, which comes with the car. This car gets the Nissan’s crappy AWD system… all they need is to add low speed 4 wheel lock and all will be good.
Way to drive with the specific intention of getting stuck in sand. That's like jumping into a river and using nothing but a single hand to attempt to swim to the other side. Once everyone sees you almost drown using that technique, you then warn, "Stay away from water!"
@@CarQuestion stop posting false things… my SEL Outlander went trough sand with no problem at all! If you have that issue then bring it back to Mitsubishi so they can fix that problem. There’s this video of Tesla pulling the FORD truck because the truck wasn’t all wheel drive just to say they shit on the Ford truck which is misleading
@@ModernPinoyCooking again. this is an AWD version, we are telling the truth, if you do more false accusation, Jesus will punish you my friend..... and we don't want that. Look at our complete review, you can see the logo in the rear: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1vkU5cg7x_M.html
I get it just a test, but if your buying a SUV with 20”x8.5” wheels to drive around in the sand you are doing it wrong. Especially on stock tires. I think they are shooting for the grocery getter market and seem to be succeeding to this point.
Ничего и не должно было поменяться, ставить межколесный диф в машину для развоза детей в школу никто не будет, а выгодная с точки зрения маркетинга система способствующая безопасности при вождении, будет хорошим конкурентным подспорьем при продаже
I'd love to see a comparison with Subaru with Sym-AWD , new Highlander with TV-AWD (not the ones with old AWD) & Pilot with i-vtm4. I have a feeling Honda i-vtm4 might perform better than Subaru Sym-AWD. Not sure, but love to see on the same track.
@@CarQuestion yeah, I watched it from the link you posted on below comments. It was pretty good. I think you should have this for all vehicles after the roller test. This is more practical. Thanks in advance for doing these tests.
most idiots think that with a 4wd they can go in sand, snow, mud etc and not get stuck, there are ways to do it properly and ways not to do it, the average Joe is going to get stuck!!!
First off look what he's doing he's going so slow he's bound to get stuck if you're driving on loose sand you need have a little bit more speed than what he's using because i own a 2018 outlander and I've driven it in sand and mud and it's never left me stranded and I'm Pennsylvania and I've watched him preview Mitsubishi outlanders before and he always tries to make sure they fail by always driving them extremely slower than other vehicles he's testing
They're testing the vehicle systems. If they outright used speed, it wouldn't reveal the deeper-layers of capabilities (or lack thereof) each vehicle has.
Зачем вы этот Ниссан в облике Митсу на песок погнали? Это раз. Два - какой недалёкий водитель будет в натяг штурмовать песчаный подъём да ещё и не стравив давление в шинах? А ведь даже на таких колёсах снижение давления довольно сильно увеличивает пятно контакта. И в таких условиях никакой кроссовер туда не залезет без скорости.
keep calm about the short minded part.... we can climb this hill with a forester ( heck even a impreza with potenza tires can climb this.... ) at slow speed with oem tires and not removing the pressure. Take note that this outlander WILL NOT SEND power enough to do it. TCS / the CVT will restrain it WAY MORE than a lot of suv! you can see clearly that it's not all wheel that will spin! The combo is SO restrictive that it won't even let me gain speed! so please keep your judgement for yourself if you don't know what you are talking about.
@@CarQuestion видел у вас на видео как Outback забирался по не сухому песку. Видео как Impreza наш в пол и заехала. Если на этом Outlander можно отключить ESP то попробуйте заехать так же как на Impreza, мощности передаваемой от CVT хватит за глаза. Я на Outlander XL с CVT и покруче барханы покорял и коробка в полном порядке.
как зачем? Что бы показать работу полного привода. Суть не заехать, а показать на что способен. Вот я понял для себя. Задние колеса вообще не вращались
Any car will get bogged if you try hard enough... You ticked all the boxes for this one. Slow up hill on sand with street pressure.. What exactly is the point of this video?
Well this wasn't really a good test the wheel setup itself would need to be changed to tackle sand and the CVT 😬 maybe beefer tires and a non CVT transmission
Maybe learn how to drive on sand? Mine works fine on Stockton Beach when I drop the tyre pressures and use the right mode. This is a great example of what NOT to do.
@@CarQuestion I have one, and I run it on sand no problem at all, and that's with factory tyres. All I do, is drop the tyre pressures to 16psi and use the correct mode. I can see on your video that you didn't drop your pressures.
Red link where this is identified? I understand the mechanical components are IDENTICAL. The only difference is Mitsu “tuned” it differently, which means they recalibrated the thresd for slip to kick in the rear axle. But it is the same open diff garage from Nissan (not that they can’t made a decent system, just the parts in this one sucks).
And this shows what? Nobody is buying an outlander to drive in the desert. I could put my kids remote control boat in the ocean and see if it's good enough. Smh
