The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander – Green Machine


The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander combines enough factors to make it a driver’s dream --- affordability, capacity, style and green credentials. It’s the crossover SUV with a conscience that can also carry up to seven people. It’s the perfect family car, loaded with great standard features and great advantages over other SUVs in a competitive market. The hybrid version had been available in Europe for several years, but in 2019 it finally came to the US as well, giving Mitsubishi customers yet more choice when selecting their new car.
 
Let’s start by looking at standard features (using the SE trim as a guide):

The 2020 Outlander comes with a new 8-inch touchscreen on most of the trim levels, with stereo and speakers provided by Rockford Fosgate. There are also new rear seats with an extra USB port. The same great performance in gas mileage continues in the 2020 model as it did in the 2019 model. You can expect to achieve 25mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. It’s not easy finding SUVs that can either match of surpass that rating. Furthermore, all models come with all-wheel drive.

Other standard features include three-row seating, 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space when third-row seats are down. You’ll find the price of the Outlander hard to beat when you look at other models with three rows of seats. The Outlander also comes ready to plug in either for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and the high-tech wizardry also stretches to safety --- forward-collision detection, rear-view cameras to help with blind spots while reversing, lane departure warning and more. Most of those features are standard on all trim levels.

Now let’s take a look at optional features

Mitsubishi reflects its own slogan “Drive your Ambition” when it offers buyers so much choice. First of all, the higher-end GT model provides a V6 engine option that pushes horsepower up to 224hp, as well as 215lb-ft of torque. There’s also a 2.2-liter diesel engine option to add to the existing standard I4 and the V6 options.

Finally, Mitsubishi also blow the competition away with a hybrid option --- not common for crossover vehicles. If you’ve been needing an SUV or similar car but haven’t been able to match any specifications to your own want to help the environment, then we may have found the perfect match for you.

Features aside, the Outlander is a high-quality and comfortable ride, as well as an SUV with attractive outer and inner design. Furthermore, San Antonio is blessed with a dealership offering sales, servicing and more for all current and prospective Mitsubishi owners. Visit us today and make the Outlander your new on-road partner.

Signs Your Car Might be Ready for Servicing



Even top-engineered machines like the Hyundai will eventually need car servicing. Fortunately, your local dealership is perfectly equipped to fix up any issues that arise with your car. They have the right parts, the tools and the know-how. One question remains, however. How exactly do you know when your car might be in need of professional attention? Spotting some of the signs early is a good way to avoid more serious damage (and bigger bills) later on. We’ve prepared a list of common signs that your car might need some care:

1. Anything is leaking from the engine or other part of the car
No leak of any fluid is normal on your car. If you spot a trail of drips in your driveway, or a pool of something gathering underneath your car or under the hood, then this needs to be addressed right away. It could be an oil leak, or even a transmission or brake fluid leak.

2. Grinding or tapping noises from the engine
Your engine makes an array of sounds, many of which are absolutely normal. Grinding or tapping/knocking noises, however are not a good sign. They could signify that your timing belt is worn, or that parts that shouldn’t be making contact are colliding or abrading each other. Treat any unusual noise as a reminder to drop the car at the dealership for a tune up.

3. You’ve driven 10,000 miles without a service
If your car was brand new and you’ve completed your first 10,000 miles, congratulations! But, even the newest cars might need an oil or filter change. If you’ve had no servicing at all in your first 10,000 miles, then you might hit some difficulties very soon. Ignoring basic maintenance is a sure-fire way to create more serious problems later on.

4. You feel a slight pull to one side when you’re driving
If you notice that things seem a little off-balance when you’re driving, you might have an alignment or axle problem that needs attention. When you’re driving in a straight line, does the car seem to jerk or even gently veer in to the left or right? Does your steering wheel return to a center position when driving straight? If you’re veering, or the wheel isn’t centering, then these are indicators of steering or alignment problems.

5. You see a dash warning light
Finally, but perhaps most obviously, if you see a warning light on your dash display, it means the car has an issue in need of checking. It could be tire pressure, oil, power steering problems or something else. The dash lights are not arbitrary, nor are they overly sensitive. Heed their warnings.

Your local dealership is always on hand to help you with any problems you are having. Better yet, they are usually uniquely qualified and equipped to fix the make and model of car that you purchased from them. Contact your dealership today if you think your car needs help.
