Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 27, 2021 – Auto
In mid-February, the current Mitsubishi Outlander, which has been on the assembly line since 2012 and has gone through three restyling, will give way to its successor. It is already in the final stages of road tests and will receive a four-wheel drive with the loud name Super-All Wheel Control.
The abbreviation S-AWC stood for the Evik super transmission, but then these letters began to be called the all-wheel-drive systems of the Outlander GT crossovers (with an active front differential) and Eclipse Cross (with a variable thrust vector using brake impulses). While there are no details about the S-AWC transmission on the new Outlander, we are sure that the crossover will be able to change the thrust vector, and in more expensive versions, the front axle will receive a limited-slip differential.
We can say for sure, for example, that the new generation Outlander is built on the CMF-C / D platform with McPherson struts in the front, a multi-link in the rear, and an electric booster on the rail. The aggregate base is from the latest generation Nissan Rogue crossover (aka X-trail). At least we are talking about a petrol “four” 2.5 with direct injection (184 hp, 245 Nm) and a wedge-chain variator. There will be more powerful versions, including a hybrid PHEV.
According to the creators of the car, the upcoming Outlander will be larger and more solid than its predecessor. The length of the latter is 4695 mm with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The same figures for the platform SUV Nissan Rogue – 4648 and 2705 mm, respectively.
