Mitsubishi Outlander S-AWC Off-road Sand test | Stay away from sand!

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.

Discover our review of the completely redesigned Mitsubishi Outlander. Their All-Wheel Control System (AWC) contributes to an exceptional driving experience and unparalleled handling in all circumstances, while the patented Super All-Control is the world's most advanced 4-wheel drive system.

Well, that's what Mitsubishi says on its website! Is this totally true? not fully!

Here is our full review of the new Mitsubishi Outlander and find out why it is different from the old generation, improved and competitive, but ...!

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.

This is more of a demonstration of what type of tire and pressure NOT to use on sand, rather than a critique of the vehicle itself.

[vladdurdevic]

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.

[NiCKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

I agree with the title, you should stay away from the sand if you don't know how to drive off-road - regardless of your car's make :)

[ohsoeasy]

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.

[ejohnson]

You have the wrong tires for this, not the Outlander’s fault!

[nunosapunso]

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.

[abbaby]

Proper tires and a lack of momentum are killing this SUV

[derfderfson]

If only someone in the comments would mention lowering tire pressure for the 100th time.

[TheOGG]

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.

[gerhardstrydom]

Low profile road tires pumped to 35+ psi do not excel in sand!!
Power distribution seems also front bias

[nawazzaygham]

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.

Вы бы еще на шинах формулы 1 выехали на песок. 🤦‍♂️

[matincanada]

tried it in many situation sand snow. even caught in winter storm this outlander send me home safely all the time. beach np

[SuperMoeTube]

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

[lucky]

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.

[anonymousrulz]

Some issues I can feel,
1. Wrong set of tires.
2. Lack of momentum.
3. You can steer right/left to avoid getting stuck.

[pjiyzfl]

I don't feel sand on my niva, I drive it calmly!! ))) LADA NIVA THE BEST!)))

[Destin]

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?

[SP-bmte]

Momentum plays a key roll in going up hill on bad road conditions/sufaces.
