FRANKLIN, Tenn., July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Since its launch in spring 2021, the completely revised Mitsubishi Outlander has attracted attention from customers and media alike, setting sales records and earning impressive awards from third-party publications. The vehicle has attracted customers to Mitsubishi Motors who may never before have considered the brand, offering an enviable combination of stand-out styling, standard and available safety features and driver-assistance systems², one of the industry's best warranties – with two years of limited maintenance included – and strong value-for-money.

As the best-equipped Mitsubishi ever sold in the U.S., the 2024 Outlander family of vehicles offers an impressive array of standard and available advanced driver assistance systems¹ to support driver confidence, convenience, and protection. As the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) noted in their recent press release discussing the technology, the 2024 Outlander is one of the only vehicles in its segment to offer Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB) as standard. Rear AEB and Rear Cross Traffic Alert assist drivers while backing out of tight parking spaces to reduce the risk of accidents or damage from oncoming traffic.

"Every Mitsubishi Motors vehicle is designed to protect occupants, pedestrians and other traffic to the best of its ability," said Mark Chaffin, MMNA president and CEO. "The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander is a showcase for the brand's capabilities, with owners benefiting from a host of advanced driver assistance systems. Whether standard systems like front and rear automatic emergency braking, or optional systems like our motorsport-proven Super-All Wheel Control system, Mitsubishi Motors has your back."

Standard on all trim levels, Outlander also offers: Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM)³, Blind Spot Warning (BSW)⁴, Lane Change Assist (LCA), Lane Departure Warning and Prevention (LDW & LDP)⁵, Driver Attention Alert⁶, Automatic High Beam (AHB), Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Trailer Stability Assist (TSA). Also available on select models is a Multiview Camera system.⁷

MI-PILOT Assist is Mitsubishi's advanced driver assistance system integrating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and Traffic Sign Recognition to maintain appropriate speed, following distance, and keep the vehicle centered in the lane.⁸
