2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs 2018 Kia Niro

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs 2018 Kia Niro
  More environmentally-conscious drivers are opting for plug-in hybrids (PHEV) – and those vehicles are rapidly evolving to combine both energy-efficiency with much better performance and exciting features. Mitsubishi’s 2018 Outlander PHEV is one of the most talked-about new crossover models. You can see it up close at Peruzzi Mitsubishi, but here’s how it stacks up against KIA’s newly-released Niro Hybrid. For starters, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is over a foot longer than the Niro. The Outlander’s design fits the lithium-ion battery pack neatly behind the rear seat. Both of these smart elements mean more interior and cargo space that allow for comfortably bringing friends, family and all kinds of gear along for the ride. Also, the Outlander’s interior ups the plug-in game by featuring heated seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and safety features like adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. No more bare-bones or boring PHEV crossovers! Mitsubishi has given the 2018 Outlander PHEV a Super-All-Wheel Control drivetrain that delivers more power than the Niro’s basic Front-Wheel design. This offers far better handling and more control on any kind of terrain, from city streets to bumpy backwoods roads. The all-wheel-drive platform – plus a larger engine than the Niro – gives the Outlander impressive towing power (up to 1,500 pounds), which makes it a standout in the PHEV crossover category. When it comes to picking a roomy, comfortable plug-in crossover, the choice is simple: The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a perfect choice.

A Sneak Peek at the 2021 Eclipse Cross

Mitsubishi is always striving for new and exciting changes in design, technology, and more. Rumors have been circulating about some innovative updates to the popular Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is pleased to share some of the details, courtesy of some superfans who got an undercover “peek.” The fresh Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will feature a slick new design for both the front and rear, with elegant chrome accents separating the headlights from the grille (which is more angular on this go-round). Daytime running lights are now stylish "slivers" that are tucked under the edge of the hood, giving it a truly unconventional modern look. For the rear, there are new touches as well. The taillights now sport an inverted “Y” shape which caress the outside of the liftgate glass. The overall effect is truly inspired. Other details for the 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross include a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (and a 2.2-liter diesel option). The difference? Lots of modifications that will make both engines far more efficient than previous iterations. Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is also pleased to share that the updated 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross will sport a whole new infotainment system to keep you and your passengers connected and engaged on the ride. You can also expect more of the acclaimed “Mitsubishi Connect” technology that easily gives you complete updates on many of your vehicle’s systems through an intuitive Smartphone app. The 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross isn’t the only model getting a facelift; the company has also been redesigning the Outlander among others. In their tradition of always pushing ahead, the freshened-up Eclipse Cross will be available in the early part of 2021. Want a head start on this exciting crossover SUV?

Hatchback Versus Sedan: Which is Your Better Option?

No doubt about it, when you’re in the market for a new ride, the choices can be a bit overwhelming. Picking the right type of car can make all the difference in your daily life, so spend a little time considering what will be the best “fit” for you. Two popular options among smaller cars are the hatchback and sedan models; how do they stack up? Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is here to break it down for you. Hatchbacks are just that: a car where the trunk (or “hatch”) swings open to reveal open cargo space in the rear. The design generally allows for more storage area. Additionally, the rear seats in a hatchback typically fold down, increasing storage options even more. For example, the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback edition offers 17.5 cubic feet of storage space without the seats down; folded down, you get an astonishing 47 cubic feet for all your stuff. Of course, one downside to this is that unlike the standard trunk you'll find in a sedan, your cargo is "loose." This might be an issue if you don’t appreciate the sound of things rattling around – or worse, something flying in your direction during a sudden stop. Now to the sedan version of a smaller car. Unlike the hatchback, you can expect a bit more comfort and legroom. You can also expect more "privacy” when it comes to your stuff. The design of the hatchback allows people to see inside your vehicle (although you can install a screen to keep prying eyes at bay); sedans, like Peruzzi Mitsubishi’s Mirage G4, are a bit more secure in that regard. While Mitsubishi models are all built for safety, the hatchback editions have a slight advantage. Because of their open rear design, there’s some added visibility through that back window that you won’t get in a sedan. Of course, if we’re being totally honest, we have a hard time deciding which of the sedan and hatchback models available at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is our favorite. So, if you’re still debating, come on by our (safe and sanitized) showroom to check them out for yourself and see what works best for your lifestyle!

The Mitsubishi Mirage: Perfect for Young Drivers

Younger drivers – say "college-age" and up – are always looking for a vehicle that both works for their budget, but also offers them the technology to keep them connected. Additionally, they need something that has the room to haul their stuff back to school or their first apartment. For those reasons (and more), the Mitsubishi Mirage, available at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA, is a perfect choice. Here are four great reasons to take a closer look. COOL TECHNOLOGY Let’s face it: younger drivers are all about their tech. The Mitsubishi Mirage features an available 8.5-inch smartphone link touch display compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That’ll come in handy, for example, if they need to pull up a map for wherever they’re headed. Then, Bluetooth makes it simple for them to safely stream their favorite music and podcasts and make calls or send texts just with their voice. PLENTY OF INTERIOR SPACE The Mitsubishi Mirage, which you can experience at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills PA, is technically a subcompact SUV. But that doesn't mean it skimps on space. It comfortably fits up to five people, with flexible cargo space (over 17 cubic feet, even with the rear seat up). That's plenty of room to haul whatever you need: books and gear for the dorm or groceries for the apartment. An available rear shelf and luggage board offer even more storage options. SLEEK, MODERN STYLE The Mirage comes in four “trim” levels, with enough ways to customize it for just the "look" you want. Even at the basic "ES" level, you can expect 14-inch steel wheels, body-colored side mirrors, LED taillights, and an edgy rear spoiler. As you move up thru the LE, SE, and GT trims, the style goodies just get even better. Plus, the compact size makes it easy to maneuver around town or into tight parking spots. FUEL ECONOMY Young drivers need to watch their bottom line – and the Mirage helps them save money through its exceptional fuel efficiency. It's the most fuel-efficient car in the U.S. that isn’t a hybrid. The 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine generates 78 horsepower and gets 36 mpg city and 43 mpg on the highway. Young drivers (or their parents) in the market for a reliable, yet fun, vehicle should give the Mitsubishi Mirage a closer look. The friendly team at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA are happy to show you all the reasons this is a great pick!
