Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is excited and proud to share some big news: Mitsubishi has been awarded the 2020 Future Digital Awards Technology Award (Technology and Innovation Category) for its breakthrough “Road Assist+” app. What makes this smartphone app so outstanding? Let’s get to it. Juniper Research is the firm behind this award; they specifically study companies of all kinds who are “disrupting” the old ways of doing things and delivering imaginative products/services to make consumer’s lives better. The Mitsubishi Road Assist+ app does just that. Here’s how it works. First off (and most importantly), this smartphone app (also compatible with the Mitsubishi integrated touch screen) provides drivers with 24-hour emergency roadside assistance, with services including free fuel and fluid delivery, lockout help, jumpstarts and more. Plus, the “hazard monitoring” feature provides a real-time, at-a-glance look at upcoming terrain and conditions and assists you in adapting your driving. One fun side to the app is that it provides a “driving score” so you can see – literally – how safely you’re doing on your journey (or aren’t). It’s never been easier to have help at your fingertips – literally -- to drive both safer and smarter. But this innovative service app takes it to another level: it can monitor a driver’s unique behavior on the road and convert that information into personalized discounts and other great, targeted Mitsubishi cost-saving offers and rewards (including insurance breaks). This groundbreaking connectivity ensures that Mitsubishi drivers using the Roadside Assist+ app are better covered, both from a safety aspect – and a money-saving aspect. The Mitsubishi Roadside Assist+ app is available in Google and Apple's App Stores, and is compatible with Android™ and iOS® devices*. Got questions?

As environmentally-friendly cars continue to take center stage, Mitsubishi is proud to announce that one of their exceptional vehicles is in the spotlight.  Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA notes that the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has been named as a finalist in Green Car Journal’s 2020 “Family Green Car of the Year” award.  It was the winner in 2019’s contest, named “Green SUV of the Year.”   The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the world’s best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV.  It effortlessly combines the utility and function of a crossover, with the dramatic efficiency of an electric vehicle.  You can expect a driving range of 22 miles (all-electric); blended with the gas motor, you'll get an estimated 74 MPG.   The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has been modified to feature a unique twin electric motor configuration.  This configuration allows for superior traction and maximum performance, especially in dodgy weather conditions.   Besides the environmentally-friendly “bona fides” of the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, you won’t miss out on any creature comforts.  Power Driver Lumbar Support comes standard; whoever is behind the wheel will ride easily by way of exceptional lumbar support. Redesigned second-row seats ensure your passengers will be comfortable during the ride. They’ve been designed to bring five people along (who won't be crammed up against each other).  Plus, the folding rear seats provide plenty of customizable cargo space.   The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV features damping components around the engine and drivetrain to ensure a quiet cabin.  This makes switching between your music, maps and more via connectivity apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto even more enjoyable (‘cause you’ll be able to better hear it all).   If you’re in the market for an environmentally-friendly vehicle that doesn’t miss a beat on the “comfort” and “safety” side, consider the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, available at Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA.  Considering that it won 2019’s place in Green Car Journal’s “Green SUV of the Year,” its nomination for the 2020 spot is no surprise.

In recent years, Mitsubishi has been undergoing something of a renaissance. Peruzzi Mitsubishi is proud to announce that the company’s outside-the-box thinking has just been rewarded with two Good Design awards for excellence in design and innovation. Good Design Awards date back to 1950 when prestigious designers Edgar Kaufman Jr., Ero Saarinen, Charles Eames, and Ray Eames first established the award. It’s meant to honor the pushing of boundaries in manufacturing and product design. This year, Mitsubishi’s 2018 Eclipse Cross and GT-PHEV Concept were the recipients of this coveted prize, presented by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. New to the U.S., the 2018 Eclipse Cross is a sleek five-passenger CUV that blends the best features of an SUV and crossover. The sophisticated design combines the sharp looks of a sporty coupe with Mitsubishi's outstanding handling and technology. And of course, there are many of Mitsubishi’s signature touches, including their Dynamic Shield front design. The Mitsubishi GT-PHEV Concept is just that, a concept. You won’t see this one on the street in its current form yet, but many of the groundbreaking features will soon appear in production models. These include its proprietary electric and all-wheel control technologies. The two Good Design awards sitting on their shelf are proof that Mitsubishi is relentless in their quest to push the envelope of possibilities.

Even though the Outlander Sport is already Mitsubishi’s top selling model, the recently unveiled 2018 model is sure to cement its place on top for years and years to come. Debuting at last month’s New York International Auto Show, the 2018 model of this sleek crossover SUV includes exciting upgrades inside and out, from its entertainment system to its safety features. If you weren’t a huge fan of the Outlander Sport already, the 2018 model will turn you into one. The new Outlander Sport comes with one of two powertrain options – the standard 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, or the beefed up 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine with 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. Along the outside are new front and rear bumpers designed with off-roading in mind, as well as LED daytime running lights. Inside the vehicle, you get a new infotainment system featuring a larger display screen and, more importantly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity systems, which make smartphone use on the road simpler and safer than ever. The optional Touring Package for the Outlander Sport, however, is where the new features of the 2018 model truly shine. Along with a panoramic roof and improvements in noise, vibration, and harshness for more peaceful driving, the Touring Package also includes advanced safety and driver assistance technology. Automatic high beam headlights, forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, and a rear camera all ensure the safest possible driving experience. The 2018 Outlander Sport is expected to hit Mitsubishi lots this fall, and you can be sure to find one here at Peruzzi Mitsubishi. However, if you want to get your hands on one of the previous Outlander models, we have plenty of those in stock today. You can find a new 2017 Outlander Sport for as low as $17,530, or a pre-owned 2014 model for as low as $13,499!

As we explored in our last blog post, Mitsubishi Motors is celebrating its 100 th anniversary this year. In celebration of this remarkable milestone, Mitsubishi is embarking on quite an unusual yet exciting project – a plug-in hybrid version of the 1917 Model A, the very first car that Mitsubishi ever produced. With the help of West Coast Customs, the California auto shop made famous on the MTV series Pimp My Ride, Mitsubishi is hoping to bring this 20 th century relic towards the cutting edge of 21 st century automotive technology. While the updated Model A will physically resemble the original 1917 version, its platform will be based on the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), which itself is not yet available in the United States. The original Model A ran on a 2.8 liter, 4-cylinder engine with just 35 horsepower, but the new PHEV engine comes to 119 horsepower and will include two electric motors and a 12-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery pack. These two motors will give the vehicle a smooth four-wheel drive, with one motor powering the front wheels while the other powers the back. Despite its distinction as Mitsubishi’s first production car, the Model A wasn’t particularly successful when it first came out 100 years ago – in fact, only 22 were built between 1917 and 1921, including prototypes. Hopefully Mitsubishi will get the opportunity to make at least a few more once this PHEV version is completed, which is expected to be sometime this summer. We may not have the Model A PHEV quite yet, but in the meantime you should stop by Peruzzi Mitsubishi and check out some of Mitsubishi’s other exciting vehicles. We have an incredible selection of both new and certified pre-owned Mitsubishi vehicles in stock, such as the 2017 Outlander or the 2015 Lancer Evolution.  Stop by today and find the car of your dreams at a reasonable price!

Congratulations to Mitsubishi Motors, which is celebrating its 100 th Anniversary as an automotive company this year! Founded in 1870 by Yataro Iwasaki, Mitsubishi was originally established as a shipping firm. In an effort to compete with the great technological advancements of the time, however, the company introduced its first motor vehicle, the Mitsubishi Model-A, in 1917. The Mitsubishi Model-A was Japan’s first series-production automobile. Following its great success, the company achieved another automotive first with the creation of the Mitsubishi PX33 in 1937, which was Japan’s first passenger car with four-wheel drive. Following the end of World War II in 1945, Mitsubishi Motors resumed its production of automobiles, and despite Japan’s struggling post-war economy, the company still managed yet another triumphant success with the creation of the Mitsubishi 500. In 1962, the Mitsubishi 500 set a new course record at the Macau Grand Prix, scoring the growing company yet another victory. Hoping to expand its reach in overseas markets, Mitsubishi joined forces with American automotive group Chrysler during the 1970s to bring its cars to America. Chrysler sold the Mitsubishi Galant as the Dodge Colt, which proved itself to be a huge success for both Mitsubishi and Chrysler. By 1982, Mitsubishi Motors was ready to be introduced independently to the American market, and in 1989, the company introduced the Galant VR-4, which went on to win Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year. With more than 40 years of American success under its belt and a century of producing quality automobiles, Mitsubishi continues to amaze. Come celebrate by taking a trip to Peruzzi Mitsubishi and seeing for yourself the results of Mitsubishi’s 100 years of innovation. Whether you're looking for a new or used Mitsubishi vehicle, Peruzzi Mitsubishi has a tremendous inventory of both types of vehicles.

This past March, Mitsubishi Electronics unveiled new technology to advance the development of self-driving cars. The tech allows vehicles to automatically map landscapes and then transition between areas. The system uses artificial intelligence and Mitsubishi’s Mobile Mapping System (MMS). The maps will be incredibly precise and offer data about streets and nearby objects, and be able to update in real time to adjust for traffic lights, other cars and more.  The MMS collects the data through scanners, a GPS and cameras, and the A.I. accesses it. Many self-driving cars rely on old map and GPS data for navigation. These vehicles, however, run into difficulties when other vehicles unexpectedly get too close or you drive on to a small dirt roads that might not be in the GPS data bank. Although Mitsubishi will use some of this same information, their new features will allow their driverless cars to form a map 10x faster than competitors and still be cheaper. This is far from the first time Mitsubishi has experimented with autonomous driving technology. For a number of years, Mitsubishi Electric has made self-driving cars their priority by reusing existing technology. For example, the company took the guiding equipment it helped create for Japanese missiles and applied it to their cars a few years ago. Mitsubishi hopes that by 2020 it will be able to sell these autonomous driving systems to markets around the world. Mitsubishi is dedicated to innovation. Their latest models use state-of-the-art technology to give you an incredible driving experience. Come to Peruzzi Mitsubishi today and experience one of these vehicles for yourself. With over 200 new vehicles, you’re sure to find a cutting-edge model that perfectly suits your needs. Contact Peruzzi Mitsubishi today!
