There comes a time in our lives when we stop thinking about the car we want and instead focus on the car we need. As families grow, parents often swap much-loved cars for something more practical. The good news is that some cars can be both practical and a joy to drive, and the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander ticks those boxes.
Four of the Best Family-Friendly Features in the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander
Smooth Ride for Peace of Mind
The Outlander’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine offers 181 horsepower. This results in a smooth ride that’s gentle enough to lull the kids to sleep, making it ideal for a family car.
The Outlander’s fuel economy is also impressive considering its size. Achieving 24 mpg in cities and 31 mpg on highways for a combined 27 mpg, this SUV might save you a few bucks for the kids’ college fund.
Enough Room for the Whole Family
The engine can tow up to 2000 lbs if needed, but the Outlander is so spacious that it might not even be necessary. Along with plenty of cargo space, it can seat up to seven passengers. There’s plenty of legroom for anyone in the front two rows and enough for young children in the third row too.
The modern interior is comfortable for all passengers, offering dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats for parents to enjoy after a busy day.
Entertainment to Keep Them Happy
It’s difficult keeping kids occupied on long road trips, but the Outlander’s infotainment system might help. You can hook up your phone to the system using Bluetooth, Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay to blast out the family’s favorite tunes. There’s even an option to upgrade to BOSE’s ten-speaker Premium Surround System to guarantee they stay entertained for even longer.
Technology to Keep Them Safe
Your family’s safety is a priority. That’s why Mitsubishi has included all the basic safety technologies you would expect, from airbags to Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection to keep everyone safe.
If you can go above the basic ES trim, there are even more advanced features. MI-PILOT is a driver-assistance system that makes things easier for you and safer for your passengers. This boasts features such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go for stress-free driving in traffic, and Lane Keep Assist for extra security on busy roads.
Practicality has never been more fun than when driving the Outlander. If you need a more family-friendly car that drives well and comes with plenty of space and safety features, you can’t go wrong with the new Mitsubishi Outlander.
