2014 Outlander - Centre Differential?
Hi All,
This is my first post on this forum and I just bought a new Outlander 2.4 MIVEC Euro Spec as I have recently moved to Russia. The Russian brochure states that my car has AWC, while the sport version of the 3.0 Engine has S-AWC. I was just wondering, does my car have a centre differential or not? I have read somewhere that it has electronicly controlled clutch at the centre but I don't understand how can the car vary the torque between the front and rear axles without having a differential in the centre? Your explanation would be really appreciated. |
There is no centre differential.
The front wheels and tail shaft are driven all the time. On the front of the rear differential is an electronically controlled clutch pack. |
There's no center differential. Electronically controlled coupling is used to transfer torque to rear axle.
It is designed to work with partial slippage so actual differential gears are not needed. On S-AWC versions there's also front ELSD, electronically-controlled limited slip differential. |
Thanks guys, I am now much better informed about my car :)
