Will My Car Fit into a Parking Space?

Around the Bay Area, you may meet up with many prospective parking spaces, but can your car fit? Since the Mitsubishi clocks in with much smaller exterior dimensions, you’ll be able to seamlessly glide into plenty of available spaces, even on a crowded street. It measures 171.9 inches in length and reaches 71.3 inches in width. It can dip down under a tunnel at a height of 64.8 inches.

The Ford occupies a lot of territory, so you may need to squeeze into certain spaces and bypass other slots. Its body extends to 180.5 inches in length, which is almost 10 inches more than the Outlander Sport. Across the back, it stretches to 78.7 inches in width. It’s slightly taller at 66.1 inches.

How Do I Stay Connected in My Car?

Luckily, both the Mitsubishi and the Ford provide you with the same size upgraded display. With the Mitsubishi, you get an available 8-inch Smartphone-link Display Audio system, while the Ford gives you an optional 8-inch SYNC® 3 touchscreen. 

Both vehicles enable you to use your smartphone onboard to make phone calls, listen to your private playlists, and plan your route. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is available in both models.
If your kids or friends need to charge or use their devices, direct them to the dual USB ports in the front and back rows of your Mitsubishi. 

What Unique Safety Features Can I Find?

When the weather goes south, will you be ready? In the Mitsubishi, you’re ready for changeable weather with the front rain-sensing wipers and LED fog lights. Instead of fiddling with your rearview mirror, the auto-dimming rearview mirror gradually adjusts to the light outdoors.

While you will be able to use these comparable items in the Ford, they’re only available in one trim. You’ll need to pore over the brochure or listing to make sure you select the right trim. 

What Types of Drivetrains Come in Both Vehicles?

Tackle the roads in any condition with either 2-wheel drive or the available All-Wheel Control in the Mitsubishi. You’ll also get into the ideal gear for whatever road you’re on with the Continuously Variable Transmission.

If you veer toward the Ford, it supplies front-wheel drive standard, or you can swap that out for Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It also gives you an 8-speed automatic transmission for managing the road.
