And, it’s not just the Outlander PHEV that is flying out of Mitsubishi dealers’ showrooms, Mitsubishi’s iconic L200 pick-up truck increased sales by 18.6% and the company’s ASX crossover increased sales by 46.6%. The legendary Shogun and diesel Outlander also posted positive increases, up 67.3% and 22.0% respectively.
