Atlantic City Mitsubishi - How S-AWC and MI-PILOT Assist™ Make Everyday Driving Easier in the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander around Pleasantville, NJ
When shopping for a three-row compact SUV that simplifies your commute and weekend plans, the 2025 Outlander’s two quiet heroes are Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) and MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link. These systems work behind the scenes to bring calm, predictable control to your daily routine—whether you are managing coastal rain, winter slush, or tight highway traffic in Pleasantville, NJ. In this guide, we break down how each system supports real-world driving and what to expect during a test drive.
S-AWC is Mitsubishi’s signature approach to traction and stability management. It integrates front and rear axle control with stability logic and braking inputs to help the vehicle stay composed on uneven or slippery surfaces. With a twist of the drive mode selector, throttle response, transmission programming, and S-AWC strategy adapt to match conditions. The result is subtle but noticeable—steadier cornering, more confident acceleration from a stop on wet pavement, and a calmer steering feel when road grip changes quickly.
- S-AWC fundamentals: Coordinates power delivery and braking at each wheel to help maintain stability and traction.
- Drive modes: Tailor throttle, shift logic, and S-AWC behavior to match conditions like everyday commuting or low-grip surfaces.
- Everyday confidence: Helps reduce wheel slip at launch, improves straight-line tracking on rutted roads, and supports stable cornering.
- Year-round benefit: Enhances driver control not just in winter weather but also in heavy rain, gravel access roads, and painted crosswalks.
MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link blends Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) to reduce fatigue on well-marked highways. Once activated, ACC helps manage speed and following distance—even in stop-and-go congestion—while LKA and LDP can assist with gentle steering inputs when lane markers are clear. Navi-link uses map data to help the system feel more natural, such as easing speed in advance of certain curves or ramps.
- Set cruise speed and following distance on the steering wheel controls.
- Let ACC handle pacing in traffic while you lightly supervise and keep hands on the wheel.
- Glance at the 12.3-inch displays to confirm status, and tap the brakes or cancel button to disengage at any moment.
Together, S-AWC and MI-PILOT Assist™ turn the Outlander into a relaxed, confidence-inspiring partner for daily life. On a rainy commute, S-AWC smooths out launches from stoplights and keeps steering predictable; on a weekend highway run, MI-PILOT Assist™ helps take the edge off long stretches by assisting with speed and lane guidance. You remain in control—these systems simply take on repetitive tasks.
Atlantic City Mitsubishi, serving Pleasantville, Cherry Hill, and Glassboro, welcomes you to try both systems during a thorough test drive. We will show you how to switch drive modes, demonstrate MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link on familiar roads, and help you customize alerts and displays so the technology feels second nature from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is S-AWC always on, or do I need to select it?
S-AWC is an available drivetrain configuration. Once equipped, it is always monitoring grip, and you use the drive mode selector to tailor its behavior to conditions like everyday commuting or low-traction surfaces.
How does MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link differ from basic cruise control?
Basic cruise control holds speed; MI-PILOT Assist™ adds Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go plus steering assistance features like Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), and Navi-link can anticipate certain curves or ramps for more natural pacing.
Can I use MI-PILOT Assist™ in the city?
It is best suited to well-marked highways and limited-access roads. ACC with Stop & Go can help in slower traffic, but lane assistance works optimally where lane markings are clear and consistent.
Will S-AWC help on dry roads?
Yes. Even on dry pavement, S-AWC can enhance cornering stability and steering feel by balancing power delivery and braking across the wheels as needed.
Does S-AWC add weight or complexity I will notice?
The system is designed to work seamlessly in the background. Most drivers notice the added confidence in varied conditions rather than any complexity; maintenance schedules remain straightforward, and our service team can walk you through recommended intervals.
From the 12.3-inch Smartphone-Link Display Audio with Navigation to Dynamic Sound Yamaha Premium and the available Yamaha® upgrade, the Outlander’s technology is built to support, not distract. Pair that with S-AWC and MI-PILOT Assist™ w/ Navi-link, and you have a family-ready SUV that simplifies the drive without diluting driver control. Visit our showroom to see how quickly these features become part of your routine.
