Shop Model Inventory Make Model Research Hub Research Hub

The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is built to tackle everything from busy Abilene streets to snow-packed Texas highways, and it does so with Mitsubishi’s legendary Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system. Standard on every trim, S-AWC seamlessly manages traction, braking, and power distribution to help you maintain control in any weather or road condition.

At Arrow Mitsubishi in Abilene, TX, you can experience firsthand how all six drive modes adapt the Outlander to your environment — whether you’re commuting, heading off-road, or navigating slick winter roads.

Drive Modes & Functions

Below is a breakdown of the six driver-selectable modes that come standard on all 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Trims.

Drive Mode	Function	Best Used For
Normal	Balanced power delivery and comfort-focused suspension tuning for everyday driving.	Daily commutes, light traffic, smooth roads.
Eco	Adjusts throttle response and power distribution for maximum fuel efficiency.	City driving, long highway trips where efficiency is key.
Tarmac	Optimizes grip and handling for dry pavement, enhancing steering precision.	Highway merges, spirited driving, smooth country roads.
Gravel	Improves stability and traction on loose surfaces by adjusting torque split.	Gravel driveways, dirt roads, construction zones.
Snow	Maximizes traction on slippery, packed snow and ice by controlling wheel spin.	Winter commutes, icy bridges, snowy rural routes.
Mud	Maintains momentum and prevents wheel sink in soft, uneven terrain.	Muddy fields, unpaved trails after heavy rain.

Why This Feature Matters for Work and Daily Driving
