Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is proud to announce its stylish and versatile 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport crossover model as the recipient of the "Best All-Around Performance" Award from the Automotive Science Group (ASG) – the organization's top honor – for "best overall performance amongst all model year 2013 crossover SUVs sold in the U.S. market."
Based in Glen Ellen, California, the Automotive Science Group™ (ASG) is a consumer product rating website that has created the Automotive Performance Index to help consumers better asses value in the automotive marketplace. The Index factors in social, economic, and environmental performance analysis (with input from Eco-innovations, an environmental and social policy consultant group located in Seattle, Washington) "to introduce new performance measures that better differentiate market leaders from mainstream competitors."
Furthermore, the ASG's Automotive Performance Index was developed using the scientific principles of ecological economics, where social, environmental and economic considerations are all equally important in determining overall value.
An Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) "Top Safety Pick," the American-made 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the best-selling vehicle in the Japanese auto manufacturer's revamped model lineup.
With a starting MSRP of only $19,170, the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport provides comfortable and roomy seating for five, is powered by a capable 148 horsepower 4-cylinder engine that achieves an EPA-rated 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway and features energy-saving technologies including Electric Power Steering (EPS) and a specially-designed high-efficiency alternator.
