Hello,

I'm beginning to look for a winter vehicle (mainly for snow) and the Mitsubishi Outlander is on the list. I have a few questions if you can help explain:

1.Does the All Wheel Drive have a "Auto" mode where you switch and leave it and it will automatically directy slippage and transfer power to the wheels that grip or is the AWD more of a part-time system where you have to switch it to 4x4.

2. Does the AWD work at low speeds? I know some AWD system only works over 10MPH.

3. Does the AWD system still transfer power to wheels that grip when coasting or braking?

4. What are the changes for 2009?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

1. The standard 4x4 mood is a auto there is also a 4x4 lock mode.

2. Yes

3. Not complete sure on this but i so

4. No Clue

I live in vermont and can say with good winter tires the outlander xls is a champ in the snow.

 

Supposedly the 2009 changes are the grill and the hood look and the model names are changing. The ES will be gone and there will only be the LS and 2 versions of the XLS
