Behind the Wheel of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander

The 2014 Outlander driven:

Automotive.com drove the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander and they have great things to say. According to the reviewers, the Outlander is a perfect vehicle for those with a larger family; the three row seating is perfect for carrying around children, and the $24,000 price tag makes it both practical and affordable.

Exterior restyling was kept to a minimum, but the interior has both upgraded technology and safety features. The two the reviewers sampled were the SE and GT trim levels; the SE has a 6.1-inch touch-screen display with navigation; the GT's screen was a 7-inch. There's a Lane Departure System that can be turned on or off, and everything was within an easy arms length.

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander was praised for its comfortable seats, and the third row seats can be folded down if needed for extra cargo space. The third row seats are specifically designed for children, accommodating a family well.

"SUVs with three rows of seating are a rare breed. SUVs with three rows of seating and a starting price tag of $24,000 are almost non-existent," wrote the Automotive.com reviewer. The 2014 Outlander is also backed by its 10-year/100-mile powertrain warranty and five years of roadside assistance.

The 2014 Outlander hasn't reached dealerships just yet, but is expected to this summer. If you like to see our current inventory, view our 2013 Outlander inventory here! We'll keep you posted when we know an exact date, and in the meantime, happy driving!

The Future of Charging Electric Vehicles: Wireless?

Mitsubishi currently researching ways to make a wireless EV charger

Those who are in the market or have done research on Electric Vehicles (EVs) have undoubtedly ran into the question of charging and range. How long will this vehicle run for without a charge? How long must you charge it? All of these are legitimate questions for those in the market for an EV. Well, Mitsubishi is working on a better solution; a technology that would charge EVs with wireless remote charging. This technology would not only allow an EV to have an infinite driving range, but could also potentially be able to keep gadgets (phones, tablets, computers, etc.) powered up indefinitely.

This is a great direction for Mitsubishi and Electric Vehicles in general! Take a look at our inventory of Mitsubishi's EV, the i-MiEV here!
