FRANKLIN, Tenn., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today reported fourth-quarter 2025 sales of 21,354, closing the calendar year with total sales of 94,754.
The full year of 2025 brought significant macroeconomic issues, creating headwinds across the entire economy, which, in turn, impacted consumers' shopping and buying habits.
Mitsubishi Motors' core SUV lineup resonated well with customers, with full-year SUV sales clicking up slightly above 2024's tally. Discontinuation of the Mirage subcompact hatch and subcompact G4 sedan in a segment that is rapidly shrinking drove the brand's year-over-year drop. In calendar-year 2026, MMNA will introduce a refreshed Outlander Plug-in Hybrid in late spring, an all-new electric crossover SUV in late summer, and a rugged, off-road performance variant of the Outlander toward the end of the year.
The recently redesigned Outlander, refreshed and updated with a new interior and a North American industry-first Yamaha-branded audio system, continued to be MMNA's volume leader, representing more than one-third of total sales. The mid-year launch of the Trail Edition package provided a bump in attention and showroom traffic, with December clocking in as the second-best single month of the year.
The brand's electrified flagship, Outlander Plug-in Hybrid, closed the year with 6,294 sales, down year-over-year against the vehicle's best-ever sales performance in 2024, but representing the third-best-ever full-year for the nameplate since its launch in 2017.
Eclipse Cross closed the year strongly with 5,166 sales in Q4, an increase of 103% vs. the same quarter a year ago and the third-best-ever quarter in the model's history. Full year sales of 17,508, up nearly 38% year-over-year, represent the second-best-ever full-year sales performance.
Similarly, Outlander Sport continues to sell well, with 5,522 sales in Q4, up 61.5% over 2024, representing the model's best fourth quarter sales performance since 2019. 20,480 sales for the full calendar year represent an increase of 35.4% over 2024, and the best full-year since 2021.
