Inside, you get an inviting space with supportive seating and thoughtful storage. Available upgrades add a premium touch, including a panoramic glass roof that opens up the cabin and materials that feel upscale to the touch. Rear-seat space remains practical for passengers or a mix of people and cargo, and the flexible load floor helps you make the most of the SUV’s footprint.
Technology is straightforward and user-friendly. The touchscreen interface supports familiar smartphone integration for maps, music, calls, and messages, so your favorite apps are ready to go. Mitsubishi Connect services can add helpful peace of mind with available remote and safeguard features. For driver assistance, key protections such as Forward Collision Mitigation with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Warning are standard, while available Blind Spot Warning with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and an available Multi-View Camera System make lane changes and parking more confident.
