Your Future Looks Bright With Mitsubishi: Meet the 2023 Lineup

Mitsubishi recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in Canada, a worthy occasion that marks the automaker's ongoing success on Canadian soil after 48 dealers committed to the Japanese marque in 2002. Today, that number has doubled and includes Northside Mitsubishi, where the automaker's refreshed SUV lineup is ready and waiting for customers like you. But what can you expect from that lineup if you are looking for SUVs for sale in Edmonton? That's a question we're thrilled to answer as we highlight Mitsubishi's best-selling models and new additions for 2023.

2023 Mirage: An Agile and Efficient Hatch for the City

Edmonton is a bustling metropolis renowned for its rapidly growing population. People are often drawn to Edmonton because it's a diverse cultural, educational, and government centre that offers plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Mitsubishi makes capitalizing on those opportunities easier with small hatchbacks like the Mirage.

As a subcompact hatchback, the Mirage is dubbed the "Go Anywhere, Do Anything" model. How does it live up to its promise? First, it offers exceptional value and versatility. For example, its small footprint has a 4.6-metre turning radius, making it perfect for navigating Edmonton's narrowest streets, tightest parking spaces, and most congested parking lots. But what else can you expect?

The five-seat Mirage takes a no-compromise approach to performance, handling, and efficiency. It offers an array of features like Active Stability Control and Hill Start Assist that give you confidence behind the wheel. At the same time, its 1.2L engine delivers ample power and can be paired with a five-speed manual or continuously variable transmission. With the CVT, the Mirage offers its best fuel economy and is rated at 6.2 L/100 km combined, which guarantees you can drive anywhere and do anything without spending a fortune on fuel.

Model Highlights:

  • Fuel Efficiency: 6.2 L/100 km combined
  • Seating: 5
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,331L

2023 RVR: An Adventurer With a Penchant for Style

Mitsubishi gives Edmonton drivers more opportunities for adventure with models like the 2023 RVR. This subcompact SUV can handle all your needs, from your weekday commute and running errands at the West Edmonton Mall to quick weekend getaways in Elk Island National Park or south to Calgary. First introduced in the early 1990s, the RVR was discontinued in 2002 but made a massive comeback in 2011 when the demand for subcompact crossovers reached a new high. The RVR immediately distinguished itself with its sophisticated style and adventurous spirit.

The Mitsubishi RVR is value-oriented, a defining characteristic across its lineup. For example, the entry-level ES FWD is far from a bare-bones or basic trim. Instead, it comes standard with Mitsubishi's proven 2.0L four-cylinder engine, continuously variable transmission, heated front seats, and an expansive 20 cm Smartphone Link display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. These features lay the foundation for the RVR lineup, with Mitsubishi giving you every opportunity to add to the SUV's on-road prowess with the available all-wheel drive technology.

The RVR's value improves as you progress through its lineup to models like the GT AWC. This top-tier trim exchanges the RVR's standard 2.0L four-cylinder powerplant for a 2.4L engine, adding paddle shifters for manual gear changes. The GT's luxuries are also plentiful and include leather-appointed seating with contrast stitching and a premium Rockford Fosgate audio system that delivers a concert-like listening experience throughout the cabin.

Model Highlights:

  • Fuel Efficiency: 8.8 L/100 km combined
  • Seating: 5
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,402 L

2023 Eclipse Cross: An All-Wheel Drive SUV Loaded with Innovative Tech

The 2023 Eclipse Cross reflects Mitsubishi's uncompromising devotion to vehicle design and its efforts to build functional, innovative, and high-value models. How does the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross fulfill its destiny? It defies every benchmark and sets new standards of excellence in the industry, from its advanced safety features and innovative tech to its exceptional performance.

The Eclipse Cross comes standard with the world's most advanced all-wheel drive system, Mitsubishi's legendary Super All-Wheel Control. You can harness this SUV's power in any conditions, on and off-road, and use the three selectable drive modes to tailor the Eclipse Cross' performance to your needs. This combination gives you the confidence to explore the unknown, whether visiting Jasper National Park or heading further south to hit the slopes in Banff.

While the Super All-Wheel Control system allows you to explore, the Eclipse Cross's advanced technology engineers confidence as you travel every road ahead. For example, the SUV has earned high safety ratings because of its high-strength design and cutting-edge technology, like its multi-view camera system and driver-assist tools like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and rain-sensing wipers. Its technology doesn't end there, extending to remarkable features like the hi-tech head-up display, seamless smartphone integration, and convenience-oriented tools like the heated power-folding side mirrors, which are perfect for Edmonton drivers.

Model Highlights:

  • Fuel Efficiency: 9.3 L/100km combined
  • Seating: 5
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,419 L

2023 Outlander and Outlander PHEV: SUVs to Elevate Your Day

The Outlander and its plug-in counterpart, the Outlander PHEV, are Mitsubishi's most sophisticated and spacious SUVs. These compact SUVs offer seating for seven and ample cargo space, which makes them ideal for families that need a versatile and functional SUV that can meet their everyday driving needs. More importantly, the Mitsubishi Outlander doesn't look the part of a family-friendly hauler. Instead, it's sophisticated, stylish, and luxurious, allowing you to elevate your every day without compromising affordability or practicality.

The biggest difference between the two models is how they're powered. Those looking for a traditional SUV will find it with the Outlander and its 2.5L inline-four engine and continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is standard on the model, with Mitsubishi giving you enhanced control over the SUV's performance with six unique drive modes for precise handling and responsiveness. Even more impressive is that this performance doesn't come at the cost of efficiency, with the Outlander offering 8.9 L/100 km combined.

While the Outlander PHEV shares the same performance-oriented focus, it takes a different approach as a plug-in hybrid. It pairs Mitsubishi's efficient 2.4L inline-four engine with a 13.8-kWh battery pack and electric motors, delivering a combined fuel economy of 3.6 Le/100 km. You can tailor this power to your needs by switching between the Outlander PHEV's three EV modes (EV, Series Hybrid, and Parallel Hybrid). There are also driver-selectable drive modes linked to the standard all-wheel drive system. These modes include Power, Eco, Normal, Tarmac, Gravel, Snow, and Mud.

Beyond their distinct approaches to performance and efficiency, the Outlander and Outlander PHEV share many similarities. For example, the models offer advanced connectivity, safety, and driver-assist technology to enhance your driving experience. This technology runs the spectrum and stretches from Mitsubishi's premium sound system to wireless smartphone integration, expansive digital displays, and tools like Active Blind Spot Assist, Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, and Driver Attention Alert.

Model Highlights:

  • Fuel Efficiency: 8.9 L/100 km combined
  • Seating: 7
  • Cargo Capacity: 1,822 L
