Mitsubishi SUVs And Cars Made Safe From The Coronavirus

 Mitsubishi SUVs And Cars Made Safe From The Coronavirus


It's 99.9% effective.

Aside from the reveal of the 2022 Eclipse Cross, Mitsubishi has mostly been in the news lately for rumours surrounding its sale by the Renault-Nissan alliance. While that story continues to unravel, Mitsubishi has an exciting new announcement that impacts the entire automotive industry. The Japanese automaker announced that its Diamond Premium Care product, a non-abrasive, antimicrobial, no-contact disinfecting and deodorizing spray for vehicle interiors and HVAC systems, was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, otherwise known as coronavirus.


"Diamond Premium Care is a rare tool in the fight against Covid-19. It offers peace of mind to the driver of any vehicle, but it's especially valuable to those with added exposure, whether that comes from regularly sharing their vehicle with others or from the direct risk of on-the-job exposure to Covid-19," said Mitsubishi Motors North America Vice President of Aftersales, Scott Smith. "MMNA and our dealer partners are proud to be able to offer this first-of-its-kind, EPA-approved service to everyone during these challenging times."

Diamond Premium Care can eliminate 99.9% of viruses and bacteria found in a car's interior or circulating through the HVAC systems. It also carries the added benefit of removing odours at the source without any abrasive chemicals like bleach. Mitsubishi directly sprays the dye-free treatment to vehicle surfaces, while the HVAC application is applied through the outdoor air intake vent. The process takes just 10 minutes for a standard-sized vehicle.

Mitsubishi Motors says it is the first and only OEM offering this type of service on a national scale. What's more, the service is available to all makes and models, ranging from a 2021 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross up to a Bentley or Ferrari. Mazda offered a similar program to help healthcare workers, and Ford came up with a clever idea to heat the interiors on Police Interceptors to kill any viruses inside. In the fight against Covid-19, these innovative solutions from automakers are a huge help.

 

Though this solution seems to still be finding it’s way to South Africa - you can get a clean (and sanitised) Mitsubishi SUV at Group 1 Mitsubishi.

Most notably, it adds an upgraded infotainment system that is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As before, the factory-fitted 17.8cm touchscreen infotainment system also features satellite navigation and Bluetooth. On the outside, the Sport has been dressed up with a number of styling accessories, including a Sport decal set that consists of various black and orange strips as well as carbon fibre inserts.

As with the GLX it’s based on, the Sport features a lengthy list of standard feature...
