5 cool things we love about the New Mitsubishi Eclipse

By

We have just received our batch of New Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. We have been fiddling with some of the features to try and find out what is about the car that we love the most.
  1. Design As there was once a coupe styled vehicle in the past we know that the latest shape is dynamic looking, as if the vehicle is in motion at a standstill.
  2. Apple Car Play As the world moves toward smartphones being an integral part of a vehicle’s modern features. We know that syncing your smartphone will be the most enjoyable part of your drive.
  3. AWD As most of the competitors in the segment do not offer an AWD system, S-AWC Super All Wheel Control is the Eclipse Cross’ magnificent all terrain drive system. Which provides dynamic control over tricky surfaces.
  4. Park Distance Control- Front and Rear For those tight angles that you are not sure of, park distance control has now become an essential part of vehicle design and driver alert/ support systems that give additional convenience
  5. Heads- up display The heads-up display in the vehicle gives you rel time driver speed and driving info to give you a sense of full control and intuitive vehicle and driving experience.
The New Mitsubishi Eclipse is available from only R399995 Contact our dealership on 011 222 0000

Getting Ready To Kick Start The New Year

By

Okay it is January yet again, lots to organise, sort out and arrange so early in the year. Are you sending your child off to college with a car? Or driving to and from high school? Is your carpool schedule filling up? Make sure you have your vehicle bucket list completed as part of your back to school preparations in 2019.

Back-to-school is a busy time for everyone! and now is the perfect time to make sure your car is in tip top shape. Be prepared and get ready for this busy time by following these simple guidelines!

  1. Check Your Dash Board: Have you grown accustomed to a warning light? Don’t ignore it! Have it checked out sooner rather than later. Again, catching a problem early will prevent costly repairs in the future.
  2. Headlights and brake lights: Be sure your lights are functioning correctly – brake lights that are burned out are a danger to yourself and other vehicles on the road. For safety, you need to be able to see and be seen.
    3. CMH Mitsubishi- Check brake and headlights
  3. Have your brakes inspected: Worn brakes impede your ability to stop quickly making it more likely you’ll find yourself in an accident. To avoid this a professional mechanic should check your vehicle’s brakes regularly.
    4. CMH Mitsubishi- check Brakes
  4. Know Your Car: Pay attention to your car and familiarize your child with the car as well. Make sure they know where they can find the safety equipment, spare tire and owner’s manual.
    5. CHM Mitsubishi- know your car
  5. Top up all fluids. Yes, that means performing regular oil changes. But it also means checking on all the other fluids your car needs — transmission, brakes, coolants and more. Clean fluids help your engine run smoothly, while dirty fluids can cause damage
    6. CHM Mitsubishi- top up fluid levels

We at Mitsubishi Menlyn have a vehicle to suit your individual needs and requirements, may it be new or Pre-Owned. We strive to assist our clients in making their lives a little easier when purchasing a vehicle, one less thing to stress about when starting the New Year.

Know your Finance at CMH Mitsubishi South

By

Buying a car is an exciting process but it’s important to acquaint yourself with the facts before signing a vehicle finance contract.

Here are 3 things you should know before signing a vehicle finance contract.

  1. Ask, ask and ask again

    When you arrive at the dealership to finalise the deal, you’ll be guided through the process by the dealership’s appointed Finance and Insurance (F&I) representative.F&Is are registered with the National Credit Regulator and is FAIS & FICA qualified, if you have any questions about your finance or deal.
  2. Get familiar with finance

    In the process of arranging your contract you’ll be given the option to choose a fixed or linked interest rate. Know the difference, and how this will affect your budget in the short and long term.WesBank states: “A fixed interest rate on your loan will be higher at first, but it will also remain the same for the duration of the loan. Conversely, a linked interest rate will be lower at first, and save you money”. “Make a decision about the contract period. This is how long you’ll be paying off the loan. You can choose from 12 months, all the way to 72 months.”Ensure you know the advantages of putting down a big deposit. By doing so you will save on interest payments, and have lower monthly repayments.
  3. Get insurance

    One of the important documents to take along when signing your contract is proof of insurance. This only applies if you have an existing insurance policy and have opted to arrange your own insurance. If you have asked the dealership to arrange an insurance quote, they will provide you with the correct documentation.
    Insurance

WesBank states: “Insurance is vital because you will not be allowed to drive the car out of the showroom without proving to the bank that the vehicle is insured. In the extreme scenario that you are involved in an accident straight after taking delivery of your new car, you can rest safe knowing that your insurance policy will cover everything.”

The F&I will also explain that you are required to maintain comprehensive insurance on the car for the duration of the finance contract. This protects you and your finances – if anything happens to the car, the insurance will pay out the insured value of the car and you will not have to worry about paying back the loan for a car you no longer have

The History of the legendary Pajero LWB

By

The fantastic history of the legendary Mitsubishi Pajero LWB is definitely one of true off-road and safari nature. From its origins as a short wheel base, long wheel base variants were introduced approximately a year after its production initialised in July 1983.

The inspiration behind the design was to have the appearance of a leopard found in the wild areas of the South American Andes mountain range, between Argentina and Chile. This symbolism would reflect the wild concept and outdoor spirit that Pajero represented.

With its introduction in the 1980s, the Jeep version of the Mitsubishi struggled to gain market share with international markets as there were some licencing issues with Willy’s that made it difficult to break ground in overseas markets.

CMH Mitsubishi- 80s pajero LWB

The combination of luxury and adventure lifestyle was the main target market, it was a true competitor amongst enthusiasts in 1980s Japan. The appeal of its rugged capability made the vehicle a true item that would soon be introduced to the Paris- Dakar rally in 1985, where it would continue to take overall victory a further 12 times. With the development of the new 3 link suspension this would drive the capability of the off-road prowess into new dimension of exceptional performance.

The second generation of the Pajero entered the market in early 1991. The changes brought an array of more modern amenities in the vehicle and the introduction of the Super Select AWD drive system, this system made it possible for the vehicle to be switched between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive under 100 km/h.

This system made it simpler to switch the drive modes dependent on terrain and environmental conditions. Variants were released as 3.0l V6and followed by 3.6l V6 variants in the latter part of 1997.

The third generation Pajero was introduced as a completely remodified vehicle now with features that preceded its time and with its record of rally driving vehicles, suspension and engine performance ability was enhanced and refined, still carrying the design theme of a wild cat in the facia of the vehicle. The intro of the fourth generation Pajero was in 2006, with the Super Select II AWD system with its superior capability and independent wishbone and multi-link suspension, still has the stellar luxury amenities that made the stalwart popular in the early and late 90s.

The introduction of the Legend II Pajero and current fifth generation vehicle has continued to make Pajero a brand vehicle to be reckoned with, throughout its conception and evolution over the past four decades. Offering 7 seats and full interior leather trim with wood grain and luxuriously smooth ride, modern technological features the Pajero has remained to its origins with little deviation from the design that has sustained its popularity through the ages. A sublime comfortable ride with amazing performance that has not faltered, a mechanically

Things we love about The Mitsubishi Range

By

Most automotive companies make vehicles specific to a group of personalities rather than a group of people. All of them have a feature which emphasis the manufacturing company but what do we like about the variety within the Mitsubishi Family??? Here are some of the reasons we love these vehicles.

ASX: Compact SUV perfect for a young family. Perfect Gap between a passenger vehicle and an off-roader. High Tech Daytime Running Lights. Quite a spacious interior for a compact vehicle. Very practical with its flexible seating and generous boot space

CMH Mitsubishi Hatfield- Mitsubishi ASX in Grey

Outlander: Like any other Family SUV, the fact that it’s a 7-seater makes it awesome, more room for your loved ones! Another great feature is the fact that it has low fuel efficiency & emission. Mitsubishi’s Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body utilizes crumple zones that route and absorb energy during high-impact collisions. Giving you peace of mind when it comes to your family’s safety.

Pajero Sport: When it comes to a beastly rebel, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport takes the cup for Sporty Versatility. This vehicle is fit for any terrain with two of its features: Hill Descent Control (HDC) & Off-Road Mode. Your family can expect ample head and legroom as well as plenty of in-cabin storage space.

An integrated colour-coded Sports bar is fitted to the load box, with a rear spoiler fitted at the tip of the tail gate to further enhance the dynamic look of the Triton Athlete. Completing the sporty look of the new Triton Athlete, is a set of special orange and black decals on the doors, as well as on the corners of the front- and rear bumpers. New 4WD Super Select II decals are displayed on the sides and tailgate of this new derivative as well. The black and orange theme is prevalent throughout the cabin with perforated orange leather combination seats, with an ‘ATHLETE’ embroidery found on the front seats as well. The matching bright-orange stitching which is found on the leather seats, steering wheel, gear knob, centre console armrest and door trim inserts further contribute to the stylish and sporty appearance of this new Special Edition.
