“Safe travels!”… “Have a safe trip!”… “Take care!”… “Drive safe!” Isn’t it reassuring to hear when your family or friends wish you to drive safely your new Mitsubishi Outlander?
Whether it’s a short city drive or a long trip to the countryside, safety is everyone’s utmost priority. Having peace of mind and assurance that you’ll get to your destination unscathed is absolutely important. More so when you’re traveling with your entire family.
If you’re looking for a family-friendly vehicle that offers high quality safety features, there is one out there that is up to the task. The Mitsubishi Outlander, a magnificent medium-sized seven-seat sport utility vehicle (SUV) that’s built on safety. Every model of this SUV has a 5-star safety (the highest safety rating available by ANCAP).
Features that Make You Travel Safely with Mitsubishi Outlander
There are four main features that help you drive safely with your new Outlander. They are forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane change assist and automatic high beam. Let’s learn each safety feature.
Forward Collision Mitigation
Say your hands are behind the steering wheel. You see the car in front of you slowing down, but you haven’t braked. The Outlander will brake autonomously and will come to a stop if necessary.
Adaptive Cruise Control
The Outlander also has a built-in radar that automatically matches your speed to the car in front of you. It does this by adjusting the brakes or accelerator.
Lane Change Assist
This safety feature is composed of what is called Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning.
Lane Departure Warning works through an audible alert and a blinking light in your door mirror whenever the Outlander detects a high likelihood of collision with an approaching vehicle. This alert is triggered when the other car gets within 3.5 meters of your side.
Blind Spot Warning is triggered when a vehicle behind you gets within 70 meters from your rear bumper. With Lane Change Assist, you can now change lanes safer and easier.
Automatic High Beam
The Outlander can detect both the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the tail lights of the vehicles in front of you, switching between low and high beams automatically. During the day, the Outlander also helps other drivers see you through its Daytime Running Lights.
More Features that Help You Drive Safely with Mitsubishi Outlander
Let’s say you’ve just arrived at your destination? Perfect that nose out parking or parallel parking while using its reversing camera with dash display. Then make the satisfying move of rotating the steering wheel to properly align the 18-inch alloy wheels before turning off the engine.
However, what if, despite you being a careful driver, the unwanted collision still occurred (knock on wood)? All seven occupants will remain totally protected as this car contains 7 airbags as well. Clearly, safety is not an optional accessory with Mitsubishi Outlander.
One of your top concerns when you’re ready to buy your new SUV would be, “Is this safe?” With Mitsubishi Outlander, you’re definitely secure.
Have Fun with Your Family
Now that your vehicle’s safety features have been covered, take a look at the other factors that make this SUV a great choice for you and your growing family.

Beauty is in the eye of the driver. The Outlander comes with 7 color options: Amethyst Black, Titanium, Iron Bark, Sterling Silver, Cardrona, Atlantic Blue and Red Diamond. Take your pick.
Then imagine driving home your new SUV. You have safely parked it inside your garage. As you step out of the vehicle, you see that the wall doesn’t give justice to your new auto. It’s dim and dull. Inspired by the new and shiny color of your Outlander, you decide to repaint your garage inner walls.
Before you take your SUV for another spin to buy some natural paints, better make a checklist of the other things you need to buy for you and your family. It’s a no-brainer, but making the purchases in a single trip can save you on fuel, energy and time. It may be tiring, but it will still turn out to be a fun day, especially when you go out as a family.
Let The Outlander Do The Heavy Lifting
The Mitsubishi Outlander is an SUV that remains true to its purpose. “U” stands for utility and this vehicle is spacious enough for all your cargo needs. It can accommodate 1,685 liters so you can load just about anything when you fold down the seats flat. Place your newly purchased paint buckets, shopping bags and cooking appliances altogether. Depending on how good you are in arranging your purchased items, you can probably even buy a new lawn mower and fit it inside your SUV. Give your front lawn a new and crisp ‘grass cut’ as a way of welcoming your new car to your home.
Planning to carry some heavy gear for an outdoor adventure? The Outlander’s got you covered. You can tow a braked trailer, which can handle up to 1,500 kg for the PHEV, 1,600 kg for petrol variants and 2,000 kg for diesels. Load up your sailboat and head to your favorite beach and create fun memories with your loved ones.
Final Words
The word is out. Consider owning a this seven-seat SUV so you can travel worry-free and enjoy the road trip with your family. Always remember, you can drive safely with Mitsubishi Outlander.
