Vancouver Sun [Canada], 7/2/2013
"Compared with the outgoing model, the new interior is light years ahead. Materials are improved, the ergonomics are better and the cabin is quite a bit quieter than in previous generations."
"That quietness was put to the test during a test drive from Vancouver to Squamish, B.C., that included a good chunk of off-roading over gravel roads and some rather rough terrain. Despite the twists and turns putting strain on the chassis, the cabin remained pretty silent other than the groans of its occupants as we went over some shock-inducing rocks."
"The off-roading also let us test out Mitsubishi�€ ™s two four-wheel drive systems: All-Wheel Control on ES and SE trims and Super All-Wheel Control on the GT. Both handled the terrain without any issues, going up and coming back down from 2,000 feet above sea level."
Nanaimo Daily News [Canada], 7/3/2013 online
"The revised bi-level nose is much neater with a shallow two-bar chrome grille flanked by integrated headlight clusters. The lower air intake is much less obtrusive than the previous model while the body sides are smoother with a simple style ridge defining the 'waist' that runs from the headlights to the taillights. The overall impression is mature and conservative rather than the bold and daring look of the previous model."
"The wind-cheating profile with roof grooves and rear roof spoiler is seven per cent more efficient, registering a remarkably low 0.33 co-efficient of drag (as good or better than some sports coupes). Combined with a reduction in overall weight and a more efficient powertrain, the 2014 Outlander now delivers best-in-class fuel economy."
"One thing I always appreciate in Mitsubishi models is the driver oriented cockpit design. All the controls and gauges are logically placed, easy to read and reach."
"The Sportronic transmission will do all the work or you can enjoy a greater measure of control - and fun - by using the magnesium paddle shifters. Greater use of sound deadening materials makes the cabin quiet as a vault and the new electric power steering is light and direct."
"When the second and third rows are folded flat you get a very useful 1,792 liters (63.3 cu-ft) of cargo capacity. And new for 2014 is the one-piece power lift gate that makes stowing and going much easier. "

Satisfied Customers

Mitsubishi is very proud of all the awards and praise that the New Outlander is receiving.  It is receiving stellar reviews all over the internet.  We would like to share a few of these them with you here. 

automedia 6/26/2013
"The new Outlander is seven-percent more aerodynamic than the outgoing vehicle, and that helps fuel economy."
"The Outlander's ride ... is quite good, as the suspension soaks up most bumps quite well."
"Mitsubishi has added more sound-deadener for a quieter environment, the dash is covered in a substantial soft-touch material, and buyers can opt for niceties such as heated seats and leather upholstery. We like the dashboard design and control layout, too. The center stack is angled toward the driver, and the controls are easy to use and locate."
"It is the most fuel-efficient seven-passenger crossover on the market."

Scripps Howard News Service (syndicated, New York Newsday, et. al.) 6/27/2013
"The CVT on the four-banger transmits the engine's power smoothly with no shift points and no sense that the transmission is slipping, as with some CVT units."
"With either engine, the electric power steering provides solid straight-line tracking and good control around corners."
"The suspension system delivers a decent ride with enough stiffness to prevent heeling over around curves."
"Inside, the ambiance is quiet with a near total lack of wind or mechanical noise, abetted by generous applications of sound-deadening materials. Instruments and controls are functional and laid out in a simply designed dash that, on the test car, featured classy faux wood-grain accents."
"Outboard seats in back, which have adjustable backrests, are comfortable with plenty of head and knee room."

wheels.ca [Canada] (syndicated, Toronto Star, et. al.) 6/28/2013
"Like most SUV third rows, it’s pretty cramped back there, but it’s easy to access and offers more space than before. Your kids won’t mind it at all."
"Cough up an extra $5,000 for the GT and you’ll get all the stuff of premium dreams: lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control and a surprisingly effective “forward-collision mitigation” system that will jam on the brakes up to 20 km/h when you don’t notice the stopped car in front."
"I drove the GT on an off-road course here and it proved quite capable of handling the rough cottage roads that will be the limit for most owners."
"On the dirt, it seemed to work well. We drove up and down and all around a fairly challenging track and never got stuck, which is all that really matters."
"The most important drive, however, is on the road, where the Outlander was certainly comfortable and had very little roll around the corners. It helps that the new SUV has a retuned suspension, as well as more high-tensile steel in its chassis to shave about 100 kg from the previous generation."
"The second-row seats are plenty big enough for adults, now that they’ve added an extra 170 mm to the legroom. The scooped ceiling provides decent head room back there, and the seats drop in a 60/40 split for 1,792 liters of cargo room when they’re laying almost flat, and 968 liters when they’re up. There’s even 292 liters of room behind the third-row seats when they’re all up, which is pretty generous."
"I could have driven all over Oregon quite happily in the Mitsubishi....It’s very comfortable, quiet and well-equipped, and the cabin materials are of the highest quality."
"Even the basic model, which we’re otherwise ignoring here, comes right out of the box with Bluetooth connectivity, heated front seats and keyless entry."
"The larger Outlander is a worthy contender all the same, and you shouldn’t dismiss it just because you’re a snob for a name. Even if your last six cars were all Mercedes."

New 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Designated an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+

Mitsubishi is demonstrating consistent excellence by earning an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ for the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander.  Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. was honored to learn that its completely redesigned Outlander received this award for the second year in a row. Mitsubishi Motors is the only automobile manufacturer to have its entire SUV lineup named as IIHS 2013 "Top Safety Pick +" award winners.  Only 3 of the 15 vehicles tested in the Small SUV segment received the + distinction.  2 of the 3 vehicles are produced by Mitsubishi Motors, the 7 passenger 2014 Outlander and the 5 passenger Outlander Sport both received this honorable accolade in June.  Receiving this award indicates that these vehicles offer superior crash protection and meet the tougher crash safety standers set by the non-profit vehicle research and crash test ratings agency.  The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rates vehicles as “good,” “acceptable,” “marginal” or “poor” based on performance in a moderate overlap frontal crash, small overlap frontal crash, side impact, rollover, plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. The “Top Safety Pick+” requires a vehicle to score a “good” rating in at least four of the five tests and no less than an “acceptable” in the fifth test.  The Outlander is one of only two Small SUVs that achieve a rating of "good" in all 5 categories of the new test.  The 2014 Outlander tested notably well in the small overlap frontal crash portion of the test, which was just added this year.  The success of the new Outlander can be attributed to the many advance high-tech design features including the increased use of high-tensile steel and Mitsubishi's patented Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) safety body construction. 

Starting at an MSRP of only $22,995, the new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander comes with a long list of standard features (including seating for seven) and is one of the most fuel efficient crossover vehicles in its class with an EPA fuel mileage rating of 31 mpg highway.  For more information about the all new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander please visit media.mitsubishicars.com.

Mitsubishi Expanding its Market

Pragati Industries Limited assembles cars and buses, of the Pajero, Vauxhall, and Mitsubishi brands. Pragati Industries Limited is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.  Mitsubishi wants to grow the company as a whole and Pragati is holding a negotiation with Mitsubishi to produce its cars. The country's lone state-owned automobile assembling industry is now assembling Mitsubishi's Pajero car.

This proposal comes nearly two years after Pragati Industries of Bangladesh started assembling Mitsubishi cars. Mitsubishi for years has been trying to expand more to the open market, currently Mitsubishi is the 6^th largest automaker in Japan and 16^th in the world by production. Mitsubishi has very strong interests after companies from South Korea and Malaysia planned to set up car plants in Bangladesh to increase their growing market.

Both Mitsubishi and Bangladesh will benefit from this deal if it fully goes through. Mitsubishi will have more car plants and more of a market to appeal too and Bangladesh economy will improve. Why? Well one example stated by Md Abdul Hamid Sharif, chief executive officer of Auto Con Group, is that the cost of a Mitsubishi Pajero Car, which is sold in Japanese market, will come down by 35% to 40% in the local market, if such vehicle is manufactured in Bangladesh with minimum value addition of 50%-60%.

  “Once the agreement is done, it will move Bangladesh to another level of industrialization,” said Md Abdul Hamid Sharif, chief executive officer of Auto Con Group.

This Week In 1992 Mitsubishi Released the Mirage

In 1992, Mitsubishi staked its claim in the growing market for subcompact cars, and tried to boost its identity throughout the world, with the 1993 Mitsubishi Mirage.  11 years later Mitsubishi is re-releasing it's first subcompact, to be available to customers. 

In 1992 the Mirage was powered by either a 1.5-liter I4 (92hp) or a 1.8-liter (113hp) engine, coming in coupe and sedan models.  This light car felt pretty quick with responsive steering on super-skinny tires.  The new Mitsubishi Mirage keeps the small compact look at a cheap price.  It is light and low in running costs, but best of all it is deceptively spacious inside.  For a car of its size the Mirage boasts a generous amount of headroom and rear legroom.  It is also eco- friendly producing no more than 110g/km of CO2 emissions, courtesy of a choice of two extremely efficient three-cylinder engine.  It is also insanely efficient providing 40 MPG combined, the most fuel efficient gas-powered non-hybrid in America.

Get the whole story of the creation of the original Mirage at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ebF4bjxWpqM

Possibility of a Mitsubishi 500 HP Hybrid

Photo courtesy of: www.greencarreports.com

According to Autocar, the 21^st century replacement for the Lancer Evolution is inching closer to reality. This Mitsubishi vehicle is expected to have 500-horsepower and it will be a plug-in hybrid rival to the Nissan GT-R.

 The car’s viability depends on market acceptance of Mitsubishi’s new plug-in hybrid PHEV technology. The potential for this car is that it could be a “high-end, technologically sophisticated sporting option with greater all-wheel drive performance than any Lancer Evo has had before, combined with low emissions and the option of all-electric running.”

 Hopefully this car will go into production and it will make its way here to the United States! Interested in learning more about Mitsubishi cars? Come see our showroom at 3460 Sunrise Highway, Wantagh, NY 11793.  Visit our Website wantaghmitsu.com
