2018 Mitsubishi Outlander vs 2018 Ford Escape

 

When it comes to purchasing an affordable new SUV, things can get a little overwhelming. Currently, two models are competing for buyer attention: the 2018 Ford Escape and the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander. At first glance, they may seem pretty much alike, but here’s why the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander is a much smarter choice. The 2018 Outlander is available for purchase or lease from Peruzzi Mitsubishi.

For starters, the Outlander is much roomier than the Escape. With third-row seating, it comfortably seats seven while the Escape doesn’t offer a third row and only seats five. You’ll also enjoy plenty of standard interior features, like a 7-inch touchscreen, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, voice controls, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control and heated side mirrors (for starters) – many of which you’ll have to pay extra for on the Escape.

And when opt for the upgraded the SE trim package in the Outlander, you can access a top-of-the-line infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You’d have to upgrade to a much more expensive version of the Escape to get luxury extras like that.

With many advanced safety features like forward-collision mitigation, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander was rated as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. The IIHS did not rate the new Ford Escape as a top safety pick. The Outlander also gets better gas mileage (25 city/30 hwy) than its competitor, the Escape. Not to mention, a hybrid power option that can improve your fuel efficiency even further. Mitsubishi offers some of the best warranties in the entire automotive market and the Outlander is no exception. The 2018 Outlander comes with Mitsubishi’s leading 10-year/10,000 mile powertrain warranty compared to only a 5-year one offered by Ford with the Escape.

Your SUV choice is simple: the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander is a better value than the 2018 Ford Escape, with more of what you want in everyday comfort, efficiency, and luxury.
