A Sneak Peek at the 2021 Eclipse Cross

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!

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!
