A Convenient Alternative to the Honda CR-V

Alternative to the Honda CR-V


The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is one of the nation’s most widely read papers. That’s what makes the following comments so worthy of note. Published earlier this month by auto writer Dan Wiese, the 2015 Outlander Sport is described as a “compact crossover for the rebellious.” Or, in more mistakable language, an option for “folks who prefer Mr. Pibb to Dr. Pepper.”


Though Continental Mitsubishi is as good as Swiss when it comes to peppery soda wars, there’s something to be said about Wiese’s conclusion. Whereas popular names like CR-V and Ford Escape tend to corner the market on five-seat crossovers, Mitsubishi’s Outlander Sport is more akin to the segment’s uncharted waters. That said, there’s plenty of historical evidence to support the fact that unexplored territory indicates opportunity—and that’s exactly what Mitsubishi facilitates with its convenient alternative to the Honda CR-V.


altnerative-to-honda-crvTo be fair, convenient is another one of Wiese’s descriptors. In categorizing the charm of Mitsubishi’s 2015 Outlander Sport, the writer relates the vehicle’s appeal as “…consumption, convenience and cost.” Of course, these turn out to be particularly poignant for Midwest drivers in the cold, windy throes of northeastern Illinois.


Beginning with cost, Outlander Sport serves Illinois drivers as a valuable alternative to the Honda CR-V. In contrast to the $23,320 sticker that prices Honda’s entry-level crossover model, Chicagoland drivers enjoy Outlander Sport with All-Wheel Control starting at $22,195. A similar traction control measure doesn’t reach CR-V until $24,570.


Taken with the crossover’s fuel conscious character and cargo capabilities, Mitsubishi’s manageable auto costs underscore Wiese’s main point of emphasis. Simply put, Outlander Sport is a crossover option well within the financial reach of young families—somewhat of a rarity considering the segment’s high-priced mainstays.


To see everything a hard-working alternative to Honda CR-V can bring to the table, Illinois drivers are invited to explore the 2015 Outlander Sport at Countryside’s Continental Mitsubishi today. Click the following to schedule your next test drive today.
