The record total marks the tenth consecutive month of sales increases for the model. For the first half of the year, Outlander Sport sales were up 54 percent.

Sales of Mitsubishi models currently in production were up 40 percent compared to June 2012. However due to discontinued models, total overall Mitsubishi sales were actually down 2 percent.

“We can’t emphasize enough the importance of Outlander Sport’s recent designation as a “Top Safety Pick+” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)” said MMNA President & CEO Yoichi Yokozawa. “Consumers can now add class-leading safety to high fuel-efficiency and an attractive price as reasons to consider our CUV.”

The 2014 Outlander also performed well, with a monthly sales increase of 58 percent compared to June 2012. Overall Outlander sales are up more than 25 percent year-to-date.

“The all-new 2014 Outlander, with its cutting-edge safety technology, should be available in all Mitsubishi dealerships across the country,” Yokozawa added. “With Outlander Sport and now the all-new Outlander, we feel we have a very solid one-two punch.”
