Mitsubishi Motors Reports Q2 2023 Sales
July 03, 2023 — FRANKLIN, Tenn.Download Subscribe
Share
- MMNA Q2 Sales increase 12.5% year-over-year
- Outlander tops sales results, posts best-ever quarterly sales; April represents second-best ever monthly result
- Outlander Plug-in Hybrid posts best-ever quarterly sales; April represents third-best ever monthly result
Outlander and Outlander Plug-in Hybrid led the way in sales performance as both vehicles posted best-ever quarterly results, Outlander up 40% over the same period last year with 14,368 sales and Outlander Plug-in Hybrid up nearly 300% with 1,620 sales. Both vehicles posted increases on a year-to-date basis too, Outlander up 4% and Outlander Plug-in Hybrid up 186%. Also posting strong results as volume begins to build was Eclipse Cross, up 61% over Q2 2022 with 2,761 sales. This increased availability saw Eclipse Cross sales increasing month by month through the quarter.
MMNA's overall Q2 results represented the best sales performance since Q1 2022. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation continues to focus on increased production for the U.S. market, and increased availability of the brand's SUVs –though even greater supply would have driven larger sales numbers – drove this overall performance. As vehicles drop out of the subcompact car segment, demand for the affordable, efficient Mirage remains high, and the expectation is that availability will rebound in coming months.

Well, I see my brother was not alone when he got his new Kia Seltos in May.

To be honest, I'm surprised that Mitsubishi is still in the American market. They have allowed the number of their dealerships in the U.S. to dwindle down to almost nothing, just like Isuzu, Suzuki, Daewoo, and Daihatsu...but those companies all packed up and left, while Mitsubishi still stays and hangs on.

A few years ago, I had a friend in Carson City, NV, near Lake Tahoe, which was interested in a new Outlander, as an inexpensive way to get a versatile crossover with AWD. The closest Mitsu shop, at the time, was some 90 miles away in California. (I did a dealer-search)
In my sprawling D.C. area, there are only two dealerships in all of the vast Maryland suburbs, and only one in the VA suburbs. (Manassas). The one in Manassas opened a couple of years ago...in a dungy old brick building that is also a used car shop and part of an industrial park. Years ago, there were 4 or 5 Mitsu shops in the VA suburbs...but that number dwindled down to zero for several years before the Manassas shop opened up.
And the company has not had a display at the D.C. Auto Show for years.

What amazes me is what people are paying for cars now - over $1K a month payments are the norm, the number of $30K and under cars in the market is a fraction of what it was just 3 years ago. Sales look "good" based on these numbers, but the US will never get back to the 18+M unit sales a year from pre-COVID, the US middle class has basically been priced out of the new car market unless they are willing to take on staggering payment levels.
