Our December Car of the Month – the Mitsubishi Outlander – excels in many things, and going off-road is one of them. Wondering how this Japanese brute can handle Mother Nature? Join Supercars.com.GH to find out!
The Outlander boasts a unique all-wheel-drive system called S-AWC or Super-All Wheel Control, which isn’t your typical 4×4 setup. Unlike most systems that rely on a central differential or clutches to distribute power, the Outlander uses independent electric motors for the front and rear axles. This allows for far more precise control over where the power goes.
Imagine getting stuck in the mud. A typical SUV might just spin its wheels uselessly. The Outlander, however, can cleverly use its electric motors to find any available grip, pulling itself out without a fuss. This is thanks to the S-AWC system’s ability to distribute torque independently to each wheel. It doesn’t just send power front to back, it can also send it side to side, ensuring the wheels with the most traction get the most power.
While the focus of rivals might be on electric power, the Outlander still packs a punch when needed. The 2.4-liter petrol engine seamlessly works in the background, providing additional power when the situation demands it, ensuring you don’t get stranded even on the most demanding trails.
Even the driving modes are designed for off-road prowess. Simply switch the dial to “mud” or “gravel” and the Outlander adjusts its S-AWC system for optimal performance on that specific terrain. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
So, if you’re looking for a mid-size SUV that can handle both city commutes and weekend adventures off the beaten path, the Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the best options on sale here in Ghana. For more exciting car reviews and news just like this, visit Supercars.com.GH today!
