Master Canadian winter roads with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Winter weather in Canada is a season of what-ifs. What if a mild, rainy day shifts into a significant snow event? What if flurries transition into a blizzard? What if the weather prevents you from doing something you’ve looked forward to? But what if your vehicle rendered these situations hypothetical? When the forecast calls for snow, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is prepared.
Last year, winter didn’t show up. Backyard rinks looked more like wading pools, snow barely dusted the hills, and if you wanted to build a snowman, you’d have to watch Frosty the Snowman and then live vicariously through the 25-minute cartoon classic. Yes, the unseasonably warm El Niño gave us a break from shovelling sidewalks and driveways. Still, the season was excruciatingly long for anyone gifted a new sled for the holidays. This year, winter is back, and it will deliver.
The Perfect Vehicle for the Winter Forecast

This season’s winter forecast calls for an active pattern of near-normal or above-normal precipitation across most of Canada. Some parts of the country will be milder, with fluctuating weather patterns. But expect colder temperatures, occasional blizzards, and heavy snow with periods of icy rain, sometimes all mixed into a single weather pattern.
The Outlander PHEV allows you to drive confidently in these unpredictable winter conditions. It’s the picture-perfect winter vehicle for family road trips, whether you’re heading south to escape the winter or embracing the season’s joys. The spacious vehicle features third-row seating so everyone can tag along, or you can stow the seats to make room for more winter gear. Choosing between a sled, saucer, or snow glider is not an issue; the vehicle offers the versatility to pack them all with room to spare for any winter adventure.
Drive According to the Conditions

Before you head out on snow-covered roads, it’s crucial to prepare your vehicle and adjust your driving.
Clear snow from the entire vehicle, top up the windshield fluid, and always drive according to the conditions. Turn on your lights, slow down, and look ahead to stay in control. Give yourself space from other cars, and steer gently—especially when the roads are icy. Avoid hard braking and accelerating too quickly, as these sudden changes can cause skids.
Remember, when the roads are wet, allow twice the distance for stopping, three times when there is snow, and even more space if the conditions are icy. Allowing for extra time is the key to a safe journey.
Super All-Wheel Control in the Snow

The Outlander PHEV is equipped with Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC), a system that assists the vehicle in tackling the challenges of a Canadian winter. When paired with snow tires, S-AWC provides the control and safety Canadians need when travelling across challenging winter terrains. S-AWC is an intelligent all-wheel drive system that constantly integrates data from sensors, providing instructions to each wheel in real-time. It multitasks to deliver a perfect drive.
Shifting the Outlander PHEV into snow mode with a twist of the dial delivers upgraded traction and stability, particularly on light and medium snow-covered roads. The dashboard monitor clearly displays your driving mode, so there is no second-guessing or doubt that you have activated the proper mode for the conditions. With Canada’s variable winter from coast to coast, the vehicle’s dial allows you to switch to mud mode for enhanced performance when driving on muddy back roads or in deep snow. This mode provides extra control, especially when accelerating or turning from a stopped position in deeper snow. When the roads are dry, multiple modes pair with how you want to drive. It’s a technology that allows you to pursue adventures without dwelling on the what-ifs.
This winter, the Outlander PHEV’s Super All-Wheel Control is prepared to help you take control of what the season will bring. And enjoy it. It allows you to conquer Canadian winters safely and confidently so you can drive smart and master Canada’s winter roads.
