Let’s start by answering one simple question: “What is all wheel control?” This concept extends beyond the basic understanding of all-wheel drive (AWD), which is a drivetrain system that transfers power to both the front and rear wheels to maintain optimal traction. Unlike AWD, All-Wheel Control (AWC) by Mitsubishi Motors is not just about equally distributing power; it’s about intelligently regulating engine power and braking force to each wheel, ensuring superior steering wheel control. As defined by Edmunds, AWD employs a front, rear, and center differential to provide power to all four wheels of a vehicle. However, Mitsubishi’s AWC system adds another layer by actively managing the steering input and braking pressure to improve vehicle operation under various conditions.
The AWC system was originally introduced in 2001 with the Mitsubishi Evolution VII. It has evolved into the S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control), offering intuitive drive modes that adapt to various driving conditions, which can be outfitted on every Mitsubishi SUV model.
AWC is part of a comprehensive suite of safety features that Mitsubishi continuously enhances. With safety as a paramount concern, Mitsubishi models include advanced features like a multi-view camera system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Mitigation, among others. Each model and trim level offers a distinct set of features, ensuring that as you search for safe and reliable vehicles, you’re well-supported by Mitsubishi’s innovative technologies.
