SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL
Super All-Wheel Control now features four driver-selectable modes: NORMAL for everyday conditions, SNOW for wintry or loose terrain, LOCK for going off-road, and the new AWC ECO Mode, which sends power to two wheels during normal driving conditions to help save on fuel, yet can instantly transfer power to all four wheels the moment any slippage is detected for the ultimate balance of efficiency and control. S-AWC is available on Outlander SE, in addition to the top-flight GT trim.
CHOICE OF 2 FUEL EFFICIENT MIVEC ENGINES
Both available engines combine fun with frugality. Start with the fuel-efficient 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine in the ES and SE. Incorporating a re-engineered MIVEC system that adds continuously-variable valve lift and timing, it delivers 166 horsepower on the road and 31 mpg3 at the pump. Or take the Outlander GT's 224-hp, 3.0-liter MIVEC V6. Made from durable, lightweight aluminum for less weight and better fuel efficiency, it offers plenty of oomph along with a respectable 28 mpg4 on the highway.
