SUVs are often thought of as rugged vehicles that are great for people in rural areas who don't care much about fuel economy. Now, the Outlander, as its name suggests, is definitely great for people who enjoy spending time in nature, which is why it was named "Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year" by the Northwest Auto Press Association. But it's also been named the "Family Green Car of the Year" by Green Car Journal more than once, designated a "Top Safety Pick" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and awarded "Best Small Utility" by MotorWeek. Clearly, this is a versatile vehicle that does more than what you might expect from the average SUV. But what, exactly, has earned it all of these accolades?

We're proud to offer this exceptional SUV for drivers looking for a Mitsubishi Outlander for sale near Alexandria because we know it's an innovative vehicle that pushes the limits of what it means to be an SUV. With a unique interior that's great for families on the go, a maneuverable size that's great for city driving, and capability that can handle rural adventures, the Outlander is a well-rounded SUV that has something for everyone. Today, we're going to be taking a look at some of the aspects that help it stand out in the crowded SUV market.

Unique Styling

It can be hard to stand out on the busy streets of Alexandria, but the modern and attractive styling of the Outlander is sure to turn heads and garner compliments wherever you go. While some compact SUVs try to smooth out their hard angles and blend in with cars, the Outlander has a bold attitude and proudly draws attention to its center grille, surrounded by uniquely shaped lighting elements that are both functional and fashionable. The wheel designs have cool geometric patterns that look good in motion while cruising down King Street or at a standstill parked in front of your home.

Step inside, and you'll find an interior that looks sleek and modern. The large screens are supplemented by plenty of tactile buttons and knobs, both of which are placed with both aesthetics and driver convenience in mind. Unique colorways are offered on some trims, adding contrast stitching and accents that add a splash of color throughout the cabin.

Three Rows of Seating

Whether you're taking the kids to Old Town to spend a Saturday by the river or picking up extended family from Reagan Airport, it's nice to have enough seating to accommodate everyone in one vehicle. But upgrading to a midsize or full-size SUV isn't for everyone. Larger vehicles are both more expensive and more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, like city streets or crowded parking lots, than compact models. To give you the best of both worlds, the Outlander offers seating for seven in a smaller body. With three rows to work with, it's easier to plan outings with a big family or a large group of friends without worrying about how to split people up between cars, park, and meet up when you get to your destination so you can just kick back and have a great time with your loved ones.

The Efficient Plug-In Hybrid Variant

The Outlander has a traditional gas-powered variant available that gets up to 30 MPG on the highway with four-wheel drive and up to 31 MPG on the highway with two-wheel drive. That's impressive, but it's not the best fuel economy the Outlander can offer. If you choose the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, you'll be able to get up to 64 MPGe with a fully charged battery, helping you save money on fuel and keep air pollution down so you and your fellow Virginians can breathe easy.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has an all-electric range of up to 38 miles if you want to bop around Alexandria without using any gas at all and can go 420 miles total on a single tank of gas, making road trips up and down I-95 more fun and convenient. With DC fast charging, you can get the battery up to 80% in as little as 38 minutes. Six drive modes help you drive efficiently in a variety of situations, so you can conserve fuel and battery charge on long drives.

A Spacious Interior Enhanced by a Variety of Comfort and Convenience Features

No matter what trim you opt for, you'll get a cabin full of comfort and convenience features designed to take your driving experience to the next level. Even the base ES model has standard features like rear seat air vents to keep passengers comfortable during hot Virginia summers, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate control so you and your front passenger can each pick your own ideal temperature, and power lumbar support built into the driver's seat to keep you comfortable no matter how long you're behind the wheel.

Upgrade to SE, and you'll get heated front seats to keep you warm and toasty on winter mornings, synthetic leather suede seating surfaces that look and feel luxurious, and more. The SEL trim adds even more creature comforts, like an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat with a memory function that can save your preferred position, an available auto-dimming rearview mirror to keep the sun from getting in your eyes, heated rear seats, and 3-Zone Automatic Climate Control for ultimate backseat passenger comfort, and leather-appointed seating surfaces that add an extra element of class to the cabin.

An Intuitive Set of Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The Outlander's features don't just keep you comfortable on the road; they also keep you safe. Across all trims that you'll find at your local Mitsubishi dealership, this SUV comes standard with driver assistance features designed to keep you out of harm's way. This includes not just features that are ubiquitous these days, like Forward Collision Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist, and automatic high beam headlamps, but also features that are often reserved for higher trim levels on other SUVs, like a Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, rear parking sensors, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking. Higher trims add on features like Traffic Sign Recognition and rain-sensing windshield wipers that help you see clearly no matter the weather.

Comprehensive Warranty Coverage

Mitsubishi stands behind its vehicles with warranties that go above and beyond, and we're proud to offer that kind of coverage to our customers. Included in the price of a new vehicle is a plan that includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty that helps you out if anything goes bad with your engine and five years of 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, no matter how many miles you put on your Outlander. With all that at your back, you can drive with confidence, knowing that Mitsubishi has your back if you ever run into any car trouble.

A Well-Rounded Three-Row SUV That's Ready for Anything

From commutes to DC to vacations to rural Virginia to everyday driving around Alexandria, the Outlander can handle all kinds of journeys. It's not only capable and efficient, it's also comfortable and stylish, so you can look good and feel good wherever you go.
