FRANKLIN, Tenn., Jan. 3, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA)'s
mission to deliver high-quality, award-winning vehicles featuring
style, technology, and outstanding value continued in 2024 as both
quarterly and annual sales increased. The brand concluded Q4 at
27,125 sales, an increase of 38.4% on a year-over-year (YOY) basis.
Annual sales of 109,843 represented an increase of 25.8%, the
brand's best sales performance since 2019, as every model across
the Mitsubishi range posted full-year sales increases. Topping the
charts, Outlander and Outlander Plug-in Hybrid both posted
best-ever annual sales for the nameplates.
"The right lineup of vehicles, targeted squarely at the segments
consumers are shopping today, has delivered Mitsubishi Motors a
strong year, all led by our flagship Outlander and Outlander
Plug-in Hybrid models," said Mark
Chaffin, MMNA's president and CEO. "This year's sales
performance shows the company's commitment to balancing our model
offering and our value proposition, combining technology and
customer choice with an outstanding dealer-partner network across
the U.S. With the new 2025 Outlander debuting next month, this
momentum is set to continue into the New Year."
Leading to its refreshment in February
2025, Outlander continues to be the brand's sales leader at
9,624 sales for the quarter, an increase of 7.2%. For the full
year, Outlander recorded 45,253 sales, an increase of 6.5%, and the
vehicle's best-ever sales year.
The multi-award-winning Outlander Plug-in Hybrid recorded 1,800
sales in Q4, an increase of 14.1%, and wrapped up the year with a
total of 6,975 sales, for the model's best-ever sales performance
over a full calendar year.
Eclipse Cross sales performance also improved with 2,540 sales
for Q4, an increase of 11.4%, and 12,724 sales for the full year,
up 28.2%.
This sales success capped a year in which MMNA announced its
ambitious forward-looking North American business plan, Momentum
2030.
The path to Momentum 2030 is defined by four key points:
- A path to electrification
- A path to a renewed and expanded product line-up that will
strengthen Mitsubishi Motors in North
America
- A path to a modernized retail sales model
- A path to network expansion and sales growth
The new 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is scheduled to begin arriving
at Mitsubishi Motors dealer partners across the U.S. in late
February 2025.
