Nissan Motor Vs. Mitsubishi Group Vs. Subaru Corporation

Today, Nissan occupies 9th place in the world ranking of the largest auto manufacturers. The brand line includes passenger and sports cars, trucks, and SUVs . In addition to the automotive industry, the Nissan engineering division designs and develops rockets, engines, and launchers.

Mitsubishi is a conglomerate of companies in various domains. The first line of products includes aircraft and engines. The design and construction of vehicles are handled by Mitsubishi Motors, a giant company that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2020.

Subaru is a Japanese automotive brand of Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), specializing not only in the auto but also in aviation technology, railway transport, and shipbuilding. Kenji Kita, the founder of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., was a true automotive enthusiast and was personally involved in the creation of the P-1 prototype – the first Subaru passenger car in 1954.

So which brand is better for Indiana citizens: Nissan, Mitsubishi, or Subaru? For comparison, let’s take Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Forester, and Nissan Rogue and see what each has on its plate.

Equipment

At this point, it is difficult to single out a clear leader among Subaru Forester, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Nissan Rogue. When choosing between these SUVs, you can be sure that, depending on the configuration, you will receive LED headlights, alloy wheels, climate control, six airbags, leather interior – because status and class are already obligatory.

But then the nuances begin. For example, Nissan and Mitsubishi can please with all-around visibility, even in relatively cheap trim levels. Additionally, Nissan offers a panoramic sunroof, lane and cross traffic control, and sign recognition. The Mitsubishi responds to the Nissan competitor with a multimedia system with smartphone connectivity. But both cars lack adaptive cruise control, which you can obtain in Subaru Forester.

Spaciousness, Interior, and Trunk

Whether you opt for a used Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, or Mitsubishi Outlander, you will get a spacious interior for your family to organize comfortable trips within Indiana state, or even to any other US region, and a large trunk for your belongings. In each SUV, you will find comfortable regulated seats, soft plastic in front, ventilation deflectors in the back, and an electric trunk lid. The difference is only in the details, but sometimes they are decisive. And therefore, the Nissan Rogue leads here thanks to the wide range of rear row adjustments, heating, and the most convenient trunk with organizer shelves.

The Subaru Forester, however, can offer maximum convenience for rear passengers. For example, it has a vast doorway (which makes it easier to get in), and there are convenient pockets on the backs of the front seats.

At the same time, the Mitsubishi Outlander crossover offers a cardinal advantage compared to Nissan and Subaru: a 3-row 7-seater interior. However, the usual 5-seater version of the Mitsubishi Outlander does not rise above the average class rating: there needs to be heating and longitudinal adjustment of the rear seats.

Is the Mitsubishi Outlander bigger than the Nissan Rogue?

The 2022 Outlander measures 185.4 x 74.7 x 68.7 inches in overall length, width, and height. The Nissan Rogue is smaller with its 183 x 72.4 x 66.5 inches, but to compare visually, you need to visit Indy Auto Man, Indianapolis, and see the difference on your own.

Character on The Road: Handling, Comfort, Dynamics

Subaru Forester is the leader in these parameters, as it boasts excellent dynamics, soft suspension, and smooth cornering. Mitsubishi Outlander and Nissan Rogue lag behind. This couple is never in a hurry, but if you are a relaxed driver, you will be pleased with the comfort they offer.

Guarantee, Liquidity, Resale

Nissan Rogue is in high demand in the Indianapolis used car market. It won’t be hard to resell it quickly at a good price. The Mitsubishi Outlander stands apart with its 5-year warranty, while the Subaru and Nissan competitors can offer only 3. The situation with the Subaru Forester model is radical: an ordinary buyer may shy away from a car, but true fans will buy it quickly and expensively.

Subaru Vs. Mitsubishi Vs. Nissan: Choose Your Winner in Indianapolis

• Subaru relies on family values (cabin space, suspension comfort) and adds modern technology. But the problem with most Subaru models is the lack of affordable basic equipment available, as a result, the price is too high.
• It is the last point that is decisive for Nissan and Mitsubishi. Sometimes there is a lack of modern technologies or sporty habits on the pavement, but you will feel the Japanese ancestry in their safety and reliability. And the Mitsubishi SUV can offer a 7-seater option.
