Columbia, SC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2012 -- Dick Dyer Mitsubishi is excited to announce that the greater Columbia, South Carolina region can now find the award-winning 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport at its dealership. The Outlander Sport was recently named a Top Safety Pick in the small SUV category by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The IIHS decides vehicle safety by giving one of four ratings for each crash test: good, acceptable, marginal, and poor. In order to be named a Top Safety Pick, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport had to receive a top rating of good in all four crash-test categories: high-speed front, side, rollover, and seat/head restraints. The Outlander Sport achieved a “good” rating in all of these tests thanks to its extensive list of safety features and high-quality body construction.

Mitsubishi has engineered the 2012 Outlander Sport to be a safe and reliable SUV, manufacturing it with a variety of safety features and precautions. These include advanced front airbags equipped with passenger weight and driver’s seat position sensors, front side-impact airbags, side-impact curtain airbags with rollover protection, and a driver’s knee airbag. In addition, passengers benefit from active stability control, traction control logic, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, collapsible steering column with foldaway pedal assembly, side-impact door beams, and active headrests. All of these features helped the Outlander Sport earn its Top Safety Pick.

Dick Dyer Mitsubishi is proud to offer this ultra-safe and stylish SUV to the Columbia community. They have a great selection to choose from and are currently offering special internet pricing on select models.
