Mitsubishi’s adventurous Outlander Sport posted its best December sales
month ever since the launch of the vehicle in 2010 with total December
sales of 3,678 up 47.1 percent compared to December 2016. Not far
behind, Outlander recorded sales of 3,018 up 22.4 percent over last
year. December also marked the start of sales for the much-anticipated
Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Featuring a highly
efficient 2.0-liter gas engine and two high-performance electric motors,
along with Mitsubishi’s superior Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system,
the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV delivers SUV capabilities and EV fuel
economy.
“2017 was a remarkable year for Mitsubishi as we continued our
rebuilding effort and posted another year of sales growth. In just five
years, Mitsubishi sales have increased nearly 80 percent, and we’re
doing that with fleet sales that are lower than industry average,” said
Don Swearingen, executive vice president and chief operating officer,
MMNA. “With the launch of the Outlander PHEV late this past month and
the all-new Eclipse Cross hitting showrooms in March, the brand is
poised to continue its strong momentum into 2018.”
