As the automotive world speeds into a new era, Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is hitting the gas on innovation with its ambitious "Mitsubishi Motors Momentum 2030" plan. Launched in May, this bold strategy underscores MMNA's commitment to electrification, dealer expansion, and cutting-edge technology. The road ahead is clear: electrify, innovate, and dominate. With a blend of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric powertrains, Mitsubishi is poised to redefine the driving experience in North America. By 2030, you can expect a new or refreshed Mitsubishi vehicle every year, each brimming with advanced features designed to meet the needs of tomorrow's drivers. 

A Glimpse into the Future

Mitsubishi’s 2025 lineup is already turning heads. The 2025 Outlander has undergone a stunning transformation, both inside and out, ensuring it remains a top choice for SUV enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the Eclipse Cross, Outlander Sport, and Outlander Plug-In Hybrid continue to set the standard for comfort and connectivity. Mitsubishi’s commitment to quality and value is evident in every model, offering drivers an unmatched combination of style, safety, and sustainability.

Safety First: The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander

When it comes to safety, the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander family of vehicles is leading the charge. As the most well-equipped Mitsubishi ever sold in the U.S., the Outlander comes packed with advanced driver assistance systems, including the rare but crucial Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB) as standard. It's no wonder the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has singled out the Outlander for its exceptional safety features. With Mitsubishi, you’re not just driving – you’re driving smart.
