Daily Driving Essentials: The Must Haves of a Long-Lasting Daily Vehicle

It’s one thing for a vehicle to have a long life, but can you actually live with it? If it’s a Mitsubishi, the answer is ‘yes’

These days, your dollar doesn’t stretch as much as it did before. With rising prices overall, it’s important to get the best value out of what you spend.

And when it comes to a new vehicle, that’s even more important. It’s usually the second-largest expenditure you’ll make, so it’s important that a new vehicle be everything you need it to be, for as long as possible.

And that’s how Mitsubishi designs its vehicles. Engineered for efficiency and confidence on the road, and then built durable to last, Mitsubishi SUVs are made to be a part of busy lifestyles for years to come. It’s part of the brand’s philosophy of dependability when it comes to every SUV they make.

But Mitsubishi also understands you don’t just buy a vehicle because it will be around for a long time. It’s got to tick every box for comfort, convenience, safety and utility to fulfill the job of ‘daily driver’. And a little bit of style wouldn’t be bad, either.

A Long List of Features

Long commutes to work, weekend trips, morning and evening drives to soccer or hockey games — you and your family could spend hours every week in your vehicle. So it should have a good list of features to make the drive safer and more comfortable for everyone.

That’s why, from the subcompact RVR to the compact Eclipse Cross and up to the Outlander and Outlander PHEV models, each Mitsubishi comes with a surprising number of standard convenience features, such as heated front seats, automatic climate control and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Of course, many other features are also available, such as a panoramic sunroof, heated second-row seats, multi-view camera system, adaptive cruise control — the list is extensive, to say the least.

An advanced suite of electronic driving aids comes standard on the Outlander, Outlander PHEV, and Eclipse Cross, including Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and many others, all there as an extra set of eyes and a helping hand for the driver. More are also available, including with the RVR.

An Interior to Enjoy

A vehicle is like a second home; if you spend enough time in it, you should be able to enjoy those aforementioned amenities in a peaceful, comfortable cabin. Like at home, you want to be calm and relaxed, not on edge and uncomfortable.

Supportive seating, premium materials and perfect ergonomics make a Mitsubishi SUV a nice place to spend a long drive, for driver and passengers alike. Added insulation makes the cabin quiet and calm, even on the highway. And the interiors are cleverly designed to maximize both passenger and cargo space, making every model seem bigger than its footprint would suggest.

The savings calculator is a guide and not a guarantee of actual savings. Savings are calculated by the cost of your monthly trips (total km x fuel cost ÷ consumption of your vehicle), and how many of the monthly km can be driven in electric and hybrid mode, combining which shows the cost of the Outlander PHEV and the difference compared to your vehicle. Actual efficiency will vary depending on conditions, such as external elements, driving behaviours, vehicle maintenance and lithium-ion battery age.

Traction for Every Condition

Anyone who has ever driven in Canada knows how dangerous the weather and conditions can be, especially in winter. Blinding blizzards and black ice can make any journey a white-knuckle terror ride. But you can’t stay inside all the time; a daily driver needs to be able to handle anything the road throws up to get you anywhere, safely.

Mitsubishi must have had Canada in mind when engineering its all-wheel-drive systems. Starting with the RVR, it’s available with Mitsubishi’s All-Wheel Control (AWC), a superior all-wheel-drive system that adds traction in slippery conditions.

But standard on the Eclipse Cross, Outlander and Outlander PHEV is Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC). It debuted in 2005 and has become one of the leading all-wheel-drive systems in the automotive industry. The advanced S-AWC goes beyond putting traction to the wheels, and instead anticipates ahead of time where power needs to be distributed at all four wheels.

And with driver-selectable modes like snow and mud, which change vehicle dynamics to suit specific conditions, a Mitsubishi SUV is designed to handle any weather, especially Canada’s.

After all, a great way to increase durability is to avoid problems in the first place.

The Mark of Confidence

If there’s one final indication as to the value of a vehicle, it’s the manufacturer’s warranty. A long, comprehensive coverage, especially compared with competitors, points to the confidence an automaker has in its vehicles.

Which says a lot about Mitsubishi. Its 10-year or 160,000 km powertrain warranty is the best in the business. Along with its 5-year or 100,000 km New Vehicle Limited Warranty, 10-year or 160,000 km Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, and a 5-year, unlimited kilometre Roadside Assistance, it all combines for a backing that signifies Mitsubishi’s trust in its designs, engineering and build quality. Which should offer peace of mind to you.

Mitsubishi doesn’t just make vehicles that last, they also make SUVs that Canadians can live with, every day. Designed to fit busy lifestyles, a Mitsubishi SUV offers the combination of design, utility, features and durability that puts value into every daily drive.
