(March 8, 2015) Mitsubishi continued its comback in the U.S. based on sales of its crossover vehicles and its two remaining small cars, with February sales of 7,533 units, a 26 percent sales increase from February 2014. Year-to-date (January through February) sales for the brand are up 29.3 percent from the same period last year.

The American-made Outlander Sport 5-passenger compact crossover — the brand's perennial best-selling vehicle — recorded sales of 2,394 units for its best-ever February sales total.

The Lancer compact sports sedan once again posted strong sales numbers with sales of 2,099 units, a 64.1 percent increase over February 2014. The highly fuel-efficient Mirage 5-door subcompact delivered sales of 1,863 units — the model's best-ever month of sales since its debut in 2013.

"Mitsubishi Motors continues to demonstrate outstanding momentum going forward in 2015," said Don Swearingen, executive vice president. "Our dealers are seeing increased traffic, posting strong sales with our core models. We are looking forward to a good sales year that will be bolstered by launching new and significantly redesigned versions of key models throughout the year starting next month at the New York International Auto Show."
