For the automaker as a whole, “Challenge…
It’s finally October 2024, and we all know what that means. It’s time to get a little spooky and live out the fantasy of being someone else for once. Are you a witch, a ghost, or anyone else, real or fantasy? Halloween is the time to become someone new for a night, but what about…

Out of all of this, a…
The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid is getting pretty old. Having spent many years overseas before being added to the North American lineup in 2017 for the 2018 model year, we think the Japanese automaker needs to offer a little more variety in terms of going green. Still, consumers across America are still wary about converting…
When consumers think about Mitsubishi Motors, an SUV comes to mind. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Outlander may be the highlight of the lineup, but for going off-road in a smaller package, the Outlander Sport is the “sporty” version of the Outlander SUV. Minimal changes have been made to this already award-winning package for…
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that meets many of today’s standards. After the release of the most recent generation, a lot of attention was given to the electrified SUV with a focus on its new and improved powertrain and all-electric range (AER). Returning for 2025, the Outlander PHEV comes…
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) will soon be the new kind of automobile consumers will be seeing on the roads. Before self-driving cars, before flying cars, vehicles that are more software than hardware are right around the corner. Major automotive groups, including the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, are working on such technology, and that means a need for cybersecurity…
The 2024 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross benefitted from the style updates, and the sales can prove it. By the end of the year, the 2025 model year of the Eclipse Cross will be available, and with it, some small improvements. Most of the features seem to crossover from the 2024 model, but check out what’s new…
Back when Mitsubishi Motors joined the Renault-Nissan Alliance, there was talk of shared components and resources to expand the lineup of each brand.

Consumers may never before have considered the brand became a fan of Mitsubishi Motors for two reasons – the new Outlander and all of the new safety features it offered….
Researchers in the auto industry have collectively agreed on some interesting results about consumers and the shifting market towards electrified vehicles. Although many automakers are working towards the development of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), many consumers are satisfied with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles( PHEVs). This is mainly because they have the choice of gassing up or…
There’s nothing like a rally car race to get the blood pumping and testing the real performance of an automobile. There are plenty of rally races out there that are all about speed and corner turning, but when it comes to road handling bumpy terrain and rough driving conditions, that’s where some automakers really shine….
When Mitsubishi Motors announced the “Momentum 2030” business plan for North America, it was pretty exciting. Finally, the North American lineup is getting some love. After the automaker discontinued the Mitsubishi Mirage, we were worried we were going to have to watch the Outlander PHEV slowly die out with the rest of the lineup. Seriously,…
This year has felt like it’s going by much slower than past years. Lots of things are happening. Things are coming and going. Like the Mitsubishi Mirage. Known as the most affordable car in America, the Mitsubishi Mirage is going to disappear. This fuel-efficient hatchback has been a staple of the Mitsubishi Motors lineup for…
There have been a lot of concepts popping up lately for Mitsubishi Motors, but it’s been the same story for the last couple of years. Ever since Mitsubishi was supposed to release a C-D segment vehicle to the auto market, all eyes have been on this automaker. Was it a sports car? Was it going…
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to impress and act more like a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) than a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). With a twin motor system that packs a punch and excellent handling, the Outlander PHEV is still one of the models Mitsubishi continues to push. Officially made a part of the lineup…
The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) sure has been busy lately. In 2023, it announced “Challenge 2025” for the halfway mark of the decade and its plans for the next two years.

We’re about halfway through 2024, and Mitsubishi Motors announced its “Momentum 2030” business plan for the second half of the decade. Aimed at the release of more new models in the Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA) lineup, primarily the U.S., new electrified models are already on the way. Old concepts like the Mitsubishi Engelberg Tourer…
For years now, Mitsubishi Motors has been pitching ideas for visions of the future but not producing anything new. The last in-house model we saw for North America was the Eclipse Cross, and since then, the automaker is holding onto the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV as the savior of the lineup. Although the company may be…
With the end of the Mitsubishi Mirage announced in 2023, sales for Mitsubishi Motors have seen a spike for the little hatchback. Known as the most affordable car in America, and the most fuel-efficient vehicle still powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE), the Mirage has a lot going for it. Why it’s being discontinued…
Remember that report on new models coming from Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors we did back in April? It would seem that it holds more water than one would think. Yes, new models are coming to the U.S. due to a collaboration between Nissan and Mitsubishi – a pickup truck and a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). Neither…
Mitsubishi Motors is already seeing some good news after it invested in the Ampere battery-electric vehicle (BEV) facility Renault proposed. As soon as the investment was finalized, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance announced a new crossover for Mitsubishi.

Safety is an important factor that comes into the car-buying process. Everyone wants their car to be safe, sure, but every consumer has their own checklist of what they’re looking for. Some want more control and good driver handling, whereas others may be more family-oriented, and others like advanced safety features that just make driving…
In early 2024, there was a lot of projection insight data showing that the average American consumer is not interested in electrified vehicles. After looking at the Outlander PHEV sales for 2023, we’d have to disagree. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) sold 6,681 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid units, which represented a total increase of 240.7…
This week started off a little crazy, right? Well, South Florida may have missed out on the 2024 solar eclipse, but a lot of people were also traveling to catch a second chance to see a total solar eclipse within the last decade. The next one won’t be for maybe 20 years, and that’s a…
It may be surprising, but Mitsubishi Motors isn’t a brand that specializes only in SUVs. Especially after the Mitsubishi Mirage was discontinued, this may be hard to believe. Overseas is a different story. Mitsubishi makes passenger electric kei cars, minivans, regular cargo vans, and even pickup trucks. So, why haven’t we seen anything else over…
Every year, there are many events for automakers to show what they’re made of up in major cities. Mostly auto shows, these are nice and all, but what happened to the days of rally car races? It feels like those hosted by automakers are few and far between, but that doesn’t mean they can’t create…
We’re nearing the end of February 2024, but we still have the rest of the year to look forward to. It hasn’t been all that bad just yet, and things are looking up. The same could be said for the auto industry. Despite so-called professionals claiming automakers have made a mistake to go electric, the…
Things are going to get pretty hectic over the next few years for the auto industry. With every major automaker planning to release some BEV models by 2025-2027, we’re expecting to see a whole new segment of the market open up. Some sources say the risk automakers are taking on consumers making the switch may…
Mitsubishi Motors may be known as an automaker for mostly SUVs, but there have been times when the automaker surprised consumers and the auto industry. Currently, a little behind on the development of battery-electric vehicles (BEV), we’re hoping the new Ampere BEV facility can help get Mitsubishi back on track, but they weren’t always slow…
Mitsubishi Motors models are known for their reliability and long-living powertrain. Thanks to the Mitsubishi Motors basic limited warranty for 5 years/60,000 miles, a powertrain limited warranty for 10 years/100,000 miles, many of their vehicles can keep on going for years and years. Even vehicles we no longer see in the states have been known…
“And we have lift off!” At least, that’s what we think the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance should be saying after announcing its plans for the new Ampere battery-electric vehicle (BEV) facility. Initially announced in 2022, Ampere was a proposal by Renault to build a new facility to handle production of BEVs and other electrified options and take…
The auto industry is currently going through a dramatic shift towards battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and other electrified concepts. Some automakers would argue that gasoline no longer has a future, but others would disagree – and they would be right. Large automotive groups have argued that plug-in hybrid options are the way to go, and Mitsubishi…
It’s that time of year. Thanksgiving is here! We know, we’re a little late, but don’t you worry. We have some easy to make recipes that everyone will love before and after the main course. They’re also easy -to- make with a free afternoon, or even just before all the guests arrive. So, let’s get…
After Mitsubishi Motors joined the Renault-Nissan Alliance to form the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, the automotive group announced its mid-term plans for Alliance 2022 in 2020 to set up Mitsubishi for future success.

Back in 2018/2019, the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) announced its “Small Batch – Big Impact” initiative. Based on the idea that making small, localized efforts to better its community would lead to much larger impacts for the people involved, it all started with producing small batches of various models on the lineup and then donating…
Mergers and splits have become the pattern of the automotive industry over the last several years.

Back in early 2022, the announcement of Alliance 2030 really put the business plans for the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance under a better spotlight.

The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is in charge of the Alliance 2030 business strategy for the rest of the decade. That is, to say, that the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance has placed the MMC as the first automaker to come out with a new model to expand the lineup. As the current auto market stands today, gasoline…
Halloween is almost finally here! Okay, we have a few weeks to go, but it’s never too early to plan a fun Halloween party with friends. This is especially true if looking to plan a party for kids and young teens. How difficult was it to coordinate a birthday or play date? Now is the…
The Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback may be getting discontinued after the 2023 model year, but a new core model for Mitsubishi may become the next base for future models in its wake. Moreover, the Mirage is the last most affordable car with the most fuel efficiency for a gasoline model on the market. The Mitsubishi Mirage…
Mitsubishi Motors is starting to make some changes for the future lineup. Currently, Mitsubishi Motors North America feels a little limited, having recently discontinued the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. The most affordable car on the market, gone. Working on a new core model to become the basis of the lineup’s battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) or plug-in hybrid…
The midsize truck market is the category for automakers all over to cash in on. With only one or two models to speak of currently making up this part of the industry, it would be a shame if Mitsubishi Motors didn’t also introduce its own pickup truck to the U.S. market. The Mitsubishi Triton is…
Not all cars are built equal. Some are made for performance, some for lifestyle, and others place a focus on safety. Even then, all cars have to pass certain standards, such as the ever-increasing standards by the European Union for carbon dioxide (Co2) emissions or the safety standards places by the National Highway Traffic Safety…
It’s that time of year again. Wait, this sounds familiar. Ah, yes, we talked about car maintenance back in June in preparation for the summer. Car maintenance for both extreme weather conditions is actually a good habit to practice every year. Even the best well-kept cars could benefit from a little tune-up when it comes…
When shopping for a new car on a budget, or shopping for a teen driver’s first vehicle that won’t have them racing around town, a great choice is the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage.

Remember that unnamed compact SUV the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) teased right before the 2023 Indonesia International Auto Show?

Between all the awards lists and competitions, there is one race overseas that tests the ruggedness and capability of vehicles – it’s the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR)!

2023 is halfway done, and that means it’s time to start planning for 2024. Well, maybe not that soon, but the auto industry is already gearing up.

Summertime is usually the time automakers start gearing up for the next model year and leave the current model year behind. Most of the time, the same vehicle is offered, with a couple of tweaks.

What could Mitsubishi Motors be working on?

We got new generation models of most vehicles in…
Mitsubishi Motors finally gave us a glimpse at what it’s working on with the “Challenge 2025” business strategy announcement.

We were wondering…
It’s that time of year again! Yes, it’s time to plan long road trips, tanning at the beach, and being a good ol’ lazy bum poolside. Who doesn’t like a little getaway during the summer? Marco Island may finally be dry after the hurricane flooding, so why not plan a day or two at one…
With so many automobiles available in the market, consumers have a lot to choose from. Depending on the criteria a consumer may be judging a vehicle on – horsepower, style, or safety, to name a few – the car they ultimately buy may differ. Even with all the cool tech popping up in automobiles, artificial…
Safety has become an increasingly important factor when it comes to designing and producing today’s automobiles. Sure, doors with no B-pillar to connect to may look cool, but they also got a pretty dark name over time – suicide doors. Looking past some of these futuristic designs that are namely for show only, many automakers…
The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is more than just an automotive group.

Earth Day 2023 happened on April 22, 2023, but just because it’s come and gone doesn’t mean that’s any reason to not keep up the spirit and go a little more green every day. Whether it’s recycling more or being more mindful of your own carbon footprint, Earth Day can be any day, and buying…

The auto industry is changing, and with it, the auto market. A decade ago, alternative fuel type vehicles were more of a luxury item, not very popular, and were thought to be just a fad. Surely, gasoline internal combustion engines would reign supreme forever, right? Well, fossil fuels will only last for so long, and…
With every major automaker and automotive group making the shift towards electric vehicle (EV) development, the only way to survive in the new market is to develop new EVs and do it quickly.

With Mitsubishi Motors adding next generation models and upgrades to its lineup, we’re eagerly waiting to see what comes next – like it’s supposed new Mitsubishi C/D segment model being added to the lineup.

Back in 2021, Mitsubishi Motors reignited the flame for sports car fans when the automaker decided to bring back Ralliart, the name behind the Evolution nameplate and known for the Lancer Evolution.

Brought back in 2021, Mitsubishi revived…
When it comes to Mitsubishi Motors rally cars, we wonder what happened to them all. We had a whole series on “Mitsubishi Sports Cars from the Past”, starting with the Galant-AMG back when AMG was still taking orders from other automakers (not Mercedes-Benz), and covering the likes of the Mitsubishi Colt, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and a…
Mitsubishi Motors has a lot of history as an automaker and in North America. With its first entry into the U.S. as a rally race car brand, there were many sports cars Mitsubishi Motors is known for.

We thought we found all the Mitsubishi Sports cars we could for our “Mitsubishi Sports Cars from the Past” series, but it seems there were a few hiding in the history of the automaker. There are only three vehicles left, so we’re going to call this last entry a special edition. Some of the names…
We’ve been running a new series on the University Mitsubishi blog as of late. “Mitsubishi Sports Cars from the Past” has had a good run, but it seems we’re running into the last well-known Mitsubishi Motors vehicle that could be called a sports car. It didn’t want any World Rally Championship (WRC) titles like the…
When Mitsubishi brought the Eclipse sports car back as the Eclipse Cross, there was a lot of mixed feelings.

This week on our segment about “Mitsubishi Sports Cars from the Past”, we want to pay a little respect to a vehicle that never got off the Launchpad but couldn’t been something great before moving onto the likes of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, 3000GT VR-4, and the Colt. And yes, that last one shares a name…

One of the many automotive…
