Mitsubishi March 2016 U.S. Sales Best Since 2007

CYPRESS, Calif., April 1, 2016 -- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today reported its best March sales since 2007 with sales of 11,078, an increase of 13.5 percent over March of 2015. The Mitsubishi Mirage proved to be the big winner for the month with sales totaling 4,113, the vehicle's best sales month since 2001. Total sales for the year through the first quarter of 2016 are 25,212, up 6.0 percent compared to the same period last year.

Mirage's sales momentum comes with great timing as the nameplate expands with the offering of the new G4 sedan this spring. "Mirage is on a roll that we expect to continue," said Don Swearingen, MMNA EVP. "The Mirage hatchback and the new 2017 Mirage G4 sedan will form a formidable one-two punch in the subcompact segment."

Mitsubishi's three-row crossover utility vehicle, the Outlander, also posted strong sales numbers for the month with 2,156 units sold, up 33.5 percent over March 2015.
