Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) is offering HERE Traffic including real-time traffic, weather, for drivers in the US.
The company will integrate this new technology, which is developed by HERE, a Nokia business, into its 2014 models including Lancer, Lancer Evolution, Lancer Sportback, Outlander and Outlander Sport.
HERE Traffic offers updates on real-time traffic, weather and fuel prices, delivered by HD Radio technology.
This helps drivers to select a route that avoids traffic jams and dangerous driving conditions due to weather and gas stations that offer fuel for low cost.
Mitsubishi Motors strategy analytics global automotive practice associate director Roger Lanctot said that the success of connected car systems will derive directly from their ability to deliver a consumer proposition with timely and daily relevance.
"Traffic and weather top the list of desired consumer content and delivering more of that data, faster via HD Radio connections is a market changing offer," Lanctot added.
The new system includes data related to 100,000 gas stations to choose fuel; real-time traffic information on 330,000 miles of local roads and will offer fresh weather updates for every 30 seconds.
Mitsubishi offers this information through its infotainment system, which can be accessed by using the controls in the steering wheel or on the viewing touchscreen.
