I have a 2014 Outlander GT V6 and it is a beast in snow. I can drive through 8 inches of snow with no issue. I never shovel it out even in 10 plus inches of snow. I just clear it off and let the car muscle itself out. I back it uphill in lock in 10 inches of snow to clear its own path. Now rollers are rollers, and ice will cause issues for any vehicle, but overall my Outie is a true snow machine.

justicecenter I don't get it. SE, SEL, GT have S-AWC with active front diff. ES hase base AWC. Eclipse Cross has S-AWC, which is technically the same as base AWC, but with additional brake-torque-vectoring feature. Correct?
Yes you are correct. Although the Eclipse Cross system is labeled S-AWC it is not the same as the Outlander S-AWC which has the active front diff. My bad.
Have any of you guys drove it on the snow and bad road? How is the S-AWD works in real life scenario - mostly does it engage fast or waiting is required? Also how do you find noise in the cabin and overall quality? These are good price in Japan, my wife likes the way it looks, so it is on the list :)
can i make a suggestion, you should also be testing the capablity of the on demand system, wihtout trying to test the brake traction controll at the same time. so to do this, you would need to try some tests with 2 rollers on front wheels only. basically this would show how well the electromagnetic or hydraulic or mechanical couplings work to push the fronts off their rollers. Of course for RWD biased systems, you would put the rollers on the rear instead.
If you have one available, test a Generation 3 (2003-2006) Mitsubishi Montero Limited with Super-Select II and Mitsubishi All Terrain Technology. I own a 2005 Montero and it does exceptionally well off road, but would love to see a roller or diagonal test to compare old and new technologies.
Interesting test, and how ESP works, as I'd understand ESP will apply the brakes to the wheel that are spinning to send power to the other ones, but in the Ecplise the test failed with ESP on, but when was off the system was able to send power to the other wheel? How is that? And then, why Mitsubishi doesn't use one unique AWD system to their crossovers/SUV? The Outlander being the competitor of Subaru Forester, should have an AWD similar to the Eclipse standard (not just for the GT). I believe any Subaru (with VDC at least) will pass this test even when is one rear wheel with traction.
+Baltazar Campos Nieto ESP cuts the engine power. If you switch it off, power is not cut, but traction control (brakes) remains active, so there is enough torque for Eclipse Cross to pass the test. I agree that they should use some more advanced system in Outlander, I tested a few Subaru cars, all pass.
@@4x4.tests.on.rollers Actually it is ASR (Anti Slipping/Traction Control) not the ESP (Electronic Stability) which is turned off. However, many wrongly confuses these two. Probably ESP can never be turned off in Eclipse and other similar cars.
@@sirgalahad777 Nope, it is like I wrote in previous comment. ESP may be turned off. With Traction Control off car would fail diagonal, lateral and three roller tests.
to be fair Outlander GT here comes with a 3.0L 6 cylinder engine AND S-AWC! also this eclipse cross is lighter and 1.5L engine produce almost same torque as 2.4L outlander AWC oh shit now 2020 models even 2.4L basetrim here comes standard with S-AWC
The one from the test has AWC. And actually this is the same system as S-AWC in Eclipse Cross, only software is different. Outlander GT has different type of S-AWC.
@@LocoMe4u No, you are terribly wrong. Tell the people you asked to go and check what's under the cars and inside the transmissions. As I said before - ALL of your statements are incorrect.
Outlander, like majority of these kind of cars, is shifting power from front to back via multiplate clutch-pack. Left/right torque distribution is based on brake system.
@@4x4.tests.on.rollers Apparently 2020 outlander SAWC got an update to the system. I haven't been able to find out much more. Have you heard what the changes are or know where to look to find out?

There is an electronic limited slip diff in the front but not in the back. The AWD system using the ABS brakes on the rear wheels only works from 15km/h up and not when the car is stuck :(
+hossguitar 15 km/h is not much, I think the speed was higher in the tests. There are old tests of ASX on my channel, with additional camera that you can watch the speedometer. Standard AWC in Outlander passes the test on three rollers with only one front wheel on pavement, so are the brakes are working on front below 15 km/h and on the rear above 15 km/h? Sound weird.
Trades46 S-AWC from Eclipse Cross is different from Outlander GT (not to mention S-AWC from Lancer Evolution). GT and Evo have AYC - Active Yaw Control realized via active diffs (Evo at rear, GT at front). Evo also has an active center diff, GT has active center clutch like standard Outlander or ASX. Eclipse Cross also has the same active center clutch, while AYC is realized only by brakes (like in Outlander PHEV), programmed for understeer. Here is torque split comparison between Eclipse Cross and first ASX (based on the assumption that front and rear tyres are under the same road condition): - AUTO mode: from 80/20 to 55/45 (ASX 4WD AUTO mode: from 90/10 to 40/60) - SNOW mode: from 80/20 to 45/55 - GRAVEL mode: from 70/30 to 40/60 (ASX LOCK mode: from 80/20 to 30/70)
Look like they need to improve on AWD lock, if it's real AWD lock it'll fully lock all wheels and spin at the same time. I love Mitsubishi, but shame on them on the AWD lock it's a disappoinment 😭.
+MAN IN BLACK Torsen jest świetny, ale to odchodzący wynalazek sprzed 100 lat, stosowany przez wielu producentów, nie tylko Audi. Istnieje wiele znacznie skuteczniejszych rozwiązań.
duszaniespokojna No nie do końca się zgodzę... obecny model torsena z mechanizmem koronowym zastosowany w Audi A6 jest według mnie jednym z najlepszych napędów AWD. Standardowo przekazuje moc w stosunku 60-40 (faworyzując tył) i może to zmienić np 85-15, 30-70. Przewaga tego rozwiązania nad popularnym haldexem jest taka, że po pierwsze Torsen jest niezawodny a po drugie jest przewidywalny w swoim zachowaniu, wiemy kiedy samochód straci przyczepność w zakręcie i w jaki sposób to zrobi, a w Haldexie czasem dostaniemy podsterowność a czasem nadsterowność w zależności od tego jak zareaguje elektronika.
+MAN IN BLACK Masz na myśli torsena zmodyfikowanego przez Borg-Warner? Jeśli tak, to rzeczywiście jest to chyba najlepsza odmiana tego rozwiązania, ale też wymaga współpracy z elektroniką do sprawnego działania. Co do Haldexa (IV, V) - wszystko zależy od softu, szczerze mówiąc nie wiem jakie tam są algorytmy i jak różne marki to zestrajają. Tego typu napędy jeszcze kilka lat temu potrafiły być nieprzewidywalne, dziś to już zupełnie inna bajka.

I love my Eclipse Cross SEL Touring With S-AWC. Very good system and handles inclement weather very well. It has done amazing in snow and ice.

Palo Duro Lock is only for front/rear, not left/right. In offroad conditions they actually do better than new Subarus...
