2020 Mitsubishi ASX - Offroad and Details

Mitsubishi Motors is renowned for its off-road expertise and following a reconfiguration of the range in 2018, four-wheel drive returns to the Mitsubishi ASX for the 2020 model meaning that every SUV model in the Mitsubishi range is once again available with four-wheel drive. The system in the ASX offers a choice of three modes for various driving conditions with an electronically controlled centre differential to determine the optimum torque split to the front and rear, using sensor data on throttle position, vehicle speed, road conditions and driver inputs.

2WD mode, torque is sent only to the front wheels for better fuel economy and agility.
4WD AUTO mode, torque is varied to maintain traction on loose surfaces or adverse on-road conditions, from 98% front/2% rear to 50% front/50% rear.
4WD LOCK mode, approx. 1.5 times the torque of 4WD AUTO mode is transferred to the rear wheels to improve traction on poor road surfaces and when the vehicle requires additional traction when off-road

Switching between modes requires only a turn of the 4WD selector button positioned prominently between the front seats.
