Hype Worthy: Introducing the new Lancer Limited Edition and the Outlander Sport Limited Edition

There are certain events that don’t live up to the hype. This is not one of those events. Mitsubishi continues to prove itself a juggernaut in innovation and style with its release of two exclusive, limited edition models.

In the coming months, Expressway Mitsubishi will be introducing two new exceptional vehicles on the lot: the new Lancer Limited Edition and the new Outlander Sport Limited Edition.

Intrigued? You should be. The Lancer Limited Edition is a truly exceptional car. At Expressway Mitsubishi, our priority is the safety and satisfaction of our clients which is why we’re especially excited about the Lancer’s All-Wheel-Control feature. What does that mean for you? From slick roads to uneven conditions, there is no terrain that the Lancer Limited Edition can’t handle. It’s features like this that make this car, and all Mitsubishi cars, for that matter,  built to last for years to come. This incredible durability is demonstrated by a 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty, making it one of the best warranties in the automobile industry! Believe it or not, there’s more to love about this exciting new vehicle. Let’s cover what exceptional (and let’s face it, brag-worthy) technology this car can offer you. The new Lancer Limited Edition is also equipped with a 6” touch screen radio, a state-of-the-art rearview camera, and a first-class navigation system.

The Outlander Sport Limited Edition matches the Lancer in style and usability. This car features dramatic styling with a bold edge and unbeatable technology. Some of the many unique details of this vehicle include 18” black alloy wheels, Android audio and Apple CarPlay, and S-HID Headlights. But what do those features mean for you and your experience on the road? Let us walk you through it. Safety comes first with the added feature of S-HID headlights and halogen fog lights: no matter how treacherous road conditions may be, these lights will get you to your destination clearly and safely. The Apple and Andriod ready feature of the Outlander Sport Limited Edition means that your calls, texts, music, and favorite apps are safely and conveniently accessible while you are on the road. On top of these exceptional additions, this car lets you handle any road condition with the 18” black alloy wheels-and looks good while doing it! The Outlander Sport Limited Edition sports many details in the most unexpected places.

Both vehicles will be available at Expressway Mitsubishi in the coming months. While the wait is only a few short months away, we guarantee, these vehicles will be well worth the wait.

Don’t Let Your Teen Forget About Road Safety This Fall

Now that school is back in session, the hustle and bustle of fall can make it easy to forget about the importance of road safety. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration reports that fall is the most dangerous time of year for pedestrians, so now is the perfect time to remind ourselves and teen drivers about auto safety in school zones and on the road in general.

Texting and Distracted Driving

Now illegal in the majority of states, texting and driving has been linked to being 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident. Teens are especially susceptible to this problem. It is important to model good driving to children and teens, so that they take laws and warnings about cell phone usage while driving seriously. For more facts and statistics on texting and mobile phone usage when driving, visit here.

Many collisions and other accidents are caused by distractibility. Emphasize at all times that road safety is the first priority when driving. Phone calls, texting, loud talking and too much activity from other passengers in the vehicle can distract any driver.

Consider drawing up a Teen Driving Contract if you have a new driver in your household: see an example here!

Designated School Zones

School zones have lower speed limits. Children, being shorter and smaller, can be hard for drivers to see. They can also be unpredictable, especially when distracted or in a hurry. Slow down and watch for children, who might dart from between parked cars or enter a crosswalk without checking for oncoming traffic. Traffic violations in school zones can come with hefty penalties, not to mention the risk posed to children walking, biking, and riding the bus to and from school.  

School Bus Safety

It is illegal in every state in the US to pass a school bus that has stopped to let children out. When school bus lights are flashing and/or it has a stop sign extended near the bus driver’s window, all traffic must stop on both sides of the bus, whether the traffic is oncoming or from behind.   

Emergency Kits and Safe Cars for Student Drivers

Getting your student’s car in its best shape now will help avoid unexpected breakdowns, getting stranded in an inconvenient location, and potentially even an accident. Parents should check that their teen or college-aged driver has emergency supplies in the car, such as a spare tire and jack, jumper cables, first aid kit, tire gauge, spare cell phone charger, blanket, fresh water, and nonperishable snack items.

Technology Abounds in the 2017 Mirage G4

Today’s busy consumer is consistently looking for new and innovative ways to safely and efficiently utilize technology on the go. The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 does not disappoint with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included in its streamlined infotainment system as well as Smartphone-integration technology. The key features of this system include:

·      Ability to send touch screen messages

·      Ability to send messages using Siri

·      Integration with Google applications including

Adding ease and functionality to your driving experience, the Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto have a few benefits that will soon become less of a convenience feature and more an expected part of your daily driving experience.

1.     Predictive feature – both Apple and Google have designed their systems to know what you mean or want before you're even done inputting it. This is a great feature on a Smartphone, but a must have in an automobile

2.     Consistent look and feel – Each of these systems is designed to operate much the same way as their internet cousins making the user experience easier and the learning curve smaller.

3.     Up-to-date technology – because the systems are designed by the Apple and Google powerhouses, they are more up-to-date than traditional automobile technologies.

The 6.5 inch touch screen display simplifies your driving experience giving you access to standard apps including Bluetooth® hands free calling. Additionally, the back-up camera gives the driver a clear wide-angle view of any hazards behind the vehicle helping them easily maneuver into tight spaces and back out of parking spots safely and efficiently. What this adds up to is a driver friendly experience. Each detail is designed with safety and convenience in mind, providing quick access to the connectivity features that drivers expect, all at the touch of the screen.
