Libertyville Mitsubishi stacks the Outlander Sport against the Ford Escape

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Sport utility vehicles and their crossover offspring are all the rage these days. Drivers looking for a powerful and versatile vehicle have plenty of options, so it is important for them to remain educated on what's available. Libertyville Mitsubishi aims to help potential SUV or crossover drivers in the Chicago area with a comparison between the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the 2017 Ford Escape.

The days of beastly SUVs that guzzled gas and nickeled and dimed drivers at every turn are over. Engineering has allowed SUVs to evolve into such crossover models as the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and the Ford Escape, giving drivers a taste of both power and efficiency. The 2017 Outlander Sport gets an estimated 24 city and 30 highway miles per gallon, edging out the 2017 Escape, which can achieve 21 city and 29 highway miles per gallon. To complement this efficiency, the Outlander Sport has a 16.6-gallon fuel tank, again edging out the Escape, which holds 15.7 gallons of fuel at a time.

Fuel efficiency means a lot in the long term ownership of a vehicle, but chances are good that customers are going to want a lower price right out of the gate. The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a base MSRP of $19,795, while the base MSRP of the 2017 Ford Escape is $23,600.
