See What Happens When Outlander PHEV Goes Through this Roller Test!

[@CarQuestion]

AWD S-AWC roller and slip test note: That AWD system is called Super All-Wheel Control! The Outlander did way better than it's the previous generation! But, if you check carefully, you can't see those modes don't change much on a roller test. We tested all modes on all roller configurations but cut the one that showed little to no difference. Whatever mode you choose, the results will be the same except for MUD where you have more momentum. Fun fact, we got stuck in the 3-wheel slip test, but as you can see, leave it in normal with TCS ON and press and release the accelerator pedal multiple times, and it will get unstuck. This vehicle was equipped with winter tires. Turning off TCS will send the tires into smoke and won't get you anywhere. ** Wind noise warning

[@RichardJoashTan]

That's just like the previous video.

[@CarQuestion]

What like the previous video? The review? The diagonal test? this is a full complete test, it's not like the others videos.

[@RichardJoashTan]

@@CarQuestion Diagonal test

[@CarQuestion]

@@RichardJoashTan not at all, since on the diagonal test, you can see a roll back and also we cant really simulate 2 wheel slip front/rear or 3 wheel slip.

[@m-cw7er]

Brake vectoring or no?

[@theyungharrison]

Just bought the outlander phev . Worth every single dime.

[@CarQuestion]

What do you like the most so far ?

[@theyungharrison]

@@CarQuestion it handles well, I have driven 160km and I haven’t even used 1/5 of my gas. My previous car was an RVR and I hated the interior, with the PHEV I love the interior. It handles well ,this isn’t a car for speeding but when you need it !! The ICE responds quickly to provide the boost. Finally , Mitsubishi reliability gives me peace of mind.

[@santhuw2002]

Do you precondition your cabinet in the morning? If so and plugged in to a level 2 charger, is your car using power from the battery or from the charger while preconditioning? Please let me know

[@theyungharrison]

@@santhuw2002 i noticed the car only uses the battery when being pre-conditioned . Even when my battery is extremely low and I pre-condition, it uses the battery. I have never pre conditioned whiles it was plugged before.I will try that out and update you.

[@santhuw2002]

@@theyungharrison my car uses the power from outlet when it is still charging. I have noticed it on the energy flow. Every day I plug it in in the evening and it gets fully charged around mid night. And mornings I have a preconditioning scheduled . When that happens I suspect the car is taking power from the battery not from the grid. What I understood from Mitsubishi's launch video is that when you plug in the car on a level 2 charger and above and do preconditioning it will take power from grid to keep the car's battery full.

[@ppmnox]

Great demonstration of how this car sends power to the wheels. Love this stuff, and thanks so much for doing these tests.

[@CarQuestion]

Glad you like them! Cause it's hard to film and then put it all in one video :P

[@Trades46]

Far better than our old MY18 Outlander PHEV which really struggled with this test. Nice job Mitsubishi

[@CarQuestion]

yep! even on the diagonal awd test! it has improved!

[@tmh705]

Maybe there was some improvement already 2020?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3nXYmttl6xrj80 . Mine is 2020 and in real life conditions, like 10-20 wet snow on icy road at the moment, it has been great. Of course its not an off road vehicle, but a nice bad road vehicle.

[@keyner111]

It did so well, I'm so impressed.

[@CarQuestion]

Better than the Rav4 Prime :)

[@keyner111]

​@@CarQuestion way better, one of the best in class.

[@TMS5100]

Struggled with 1 wheel test, but overall better than expected.

[@CarQuestion]

Indeed it did !

[@下田洋介-w4z]

It looks front axle barely has a capability to escape with one wheel, because front axle could be driven by e-motor combined with engine, and the brake system has a lot capacity, on the other hand the rear axle has only e-motor and tiny brakes so it could't send enough power to the one wheel.

[@rapide12345]

​​​​​@@下田洋介-w4zThe traction control system cuts power and torque way too much that's why it struggled with the rear wheel slip test, I've noticed that behavior in almost all AWD Mitsubishi's, the front axle seems to have a better traction control, it cuts slightly then brakes the wheels then transferred the power and torque to the right wheels while the rear right is shaking but not enough torque is applied, a software update would fix it but overall still a very good system still one of the best in class also they need to fix the roll back.

[@abc123456efg]

I used to have a 08 Mitsubishi Evo. The AWD was amazing!Should find a roller slip test of it.

[@CarQuestion]

back in the days, we had a Manual Evo and a DCT Evo to test for a tv show, we had no youtube channel back then :( but amazing fun at the track!

[@craigcraigster5605]

Thats what I heard, and it got sent into garage territory… imagine in winter lol

[@xboxice2005]

Wow nice does way better than older models 😮

[@CarQuestion]

Indeed! by a large margin!

[@spamprotection9763]

I dont understand whats happening in the 2nd half of the video. Is it without engine vs with engine?

[@rapide12345]

If you hear the humming sound then the engine is off, if you hear something whining it means the engine is on.

[@にゃんこ-o9z]

🚙EV with engine👍

[@assistachatmaison]

Hi There. Can you test the traction control system on ice patches please? Because once I forgot to turn on AWD in the winter and my phev went on a fish tale slide as it would happen on a rear wheel Drive pick Up Truck.....very scary. Thanks

[@ejohnson3131]

What PHEV was that? I think these have full time AWD and will automatically send power to the wheels with traction when it detects slippage

[@rapide12345]

​@@ejohnson3131yep, the Outlander's S-AWC System is AWD all the time, but it's actually rear wheel drive biased, 85KW of power in the front and 100KW of power in the rear, maybe that's the reason why it oversteered.

[@hurstchiropracticinc.8098]

how does this compare to a Rav 4 and a crv

[@rapide12345]

This has way better AWD System compared to those, this is on another level.

[@akila219]

what’s the mpg if it’s in hybrid mode? haven’t made up my mind between this and the rav4 prime

[@CarQuestion]

on papers they say: 64 MPGe. and Combined Fuel Economy - Gasoline Only: 26 MPG

[@akila219]

@@CarQuestion combined at 26mpg? that’s kinda low. might as well get a non plug-in hybrid that does 36mpg or more

[@adampoll4977]

@@akila219 The "official" figures are WAY worse than real-world owners are getting - about twice the economy listed.

[@ejohnson3131]

The RAV4 Prime gets better fuel economy in hybrid mode, so it’ll be better on a road trip, but most people get these vehicles to commute to work on pure EV mode and people have been reporting 50 miles of range. The AWD system is superior to the one in the Prime as well

[@constantinstefan1082]

Wheels orientation on the right side is different from the left one, may be the tires are mounted in the correct rotation direction. ;)

[@CarQuestion]

:P

[@dsa420meh7]

its weird the back tire won't push by itself

[@CarQuestion]

you mean in the 3-wheel slip test? You can see it's kind of shaking but not enough power is sent to that wheels.

[@dsa420meh7]

@@CarQuestion you would think with Mitsubishi history within rally that the sawd would perform better, I wonder if the outlander can get over the air update?

[@dkostasx]

From all the roller tests you have done so far, can you name some vehicles in the same size class which were better in this test?

[@CarQuestion]

Same class, PHEV?

[@dkostasx]

@@CarQuestion Same class from size perspective, e.g. mid-size SUV. I saw your Model Y roller test and it looked very similar to Outlander PHEV performance, but I just want to know which cars are better at this.

[@CarQuestion]

Some are equipped with some neat off-road features, like the Bronco Sport Badland. So is it really fair? :P i presume it is since it's available

[@dkostasx]

@@CarQuestion Thanks. It looks like Bronco is a more serious off-roader and not really a softroader. It performed really well in the roller test. Are there any which are similarly good, but are "softroaders"?

Strange. Crossover and doing this test worser than many sedans or liftbacks with 4x4.

Of course they are better, they are 4X4 while this is an AWD it's a no brainer.

Жирный дизлайк, мало того что видос затянуть, так ещё и ничего не произошло.

[@ejohnson3131]

You didn’t pay attention. He was testing different modes (normal, snow, mud, etc) with traction control on and off to see how the AWD system performs.

[@supamario3055]

Doesn't meet the "Super All-Wheel Control" marketing. If one wheel has plenty of traction but doesn't have enough torque to move a car, then it is a design fail.

[@CarQuestion]

it's not one of the worse S-awc, check out the RVR.... :(

[@keyner111]

This AWD system is for on-road not off-road, it's called super because of the Lancer Evolution, it's more of a like handling type AWD System, and for what it is, it's better than 90% of it's competitors like the RAV4 Prime.
