Mitsubishi

Established back in 1917, Mitsubishi Motors has been through a lot over the course of its 100-year history. The last decade has been particularly challenging, but if we’re to believe Vincent Cobee, executive planning officer for Mitsubishi Motors worldwide, we’ll soon be seeing some cool stuff from the company. Alongside …

To be honest, we don’t know why manufacturers took so long to introduce a plug-in hybrid SUV in Canada. Stuffing such a powertrain in a car is obviously a good idea, but the fuel savings aren’t all that high, as today’s sedans and hatchbacks are already very efficient to begin …

When I look at Mitsubishi’s current model lineup, nostalgia inevitably kicks in after thinking about the great products that were engineered and sold by what is one of Japan’s oldest automotive manufacturers. Performance-infused cars such as the Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX of the 90s , the Galant VR-4 sedan, the Mirage …

Mitsubishi Motors claims its plug-in hybrid compact SUV, the Outlander PHEV, will drive up to 35 km in fully electric mode. The user’s manual says 60, and when we drove it in Vancouver during its launch this winter; we managed to do about 40 km. However, ever since we published …

With very few new products and entirely deprived from development, Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi Motors, now affiliated with the Nissan Renault group, is currently playing catch-up with its extremely aggressive competition.

This week, we’ll be on the Pacific coast, in British Columbia, to get behind the wheel of the first compact plug-in hybrid SUV on our market—the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV ! Mitsubishi’s Comeback If you find the Japanese carmaker has been lagging behind lately in terms of new products, that’s …

At death’s door only a few years ago (although cynics would say it’s been more like decades), the Mitsubishi brand seems to be trying to rise from the ashes. The fact that it was purchased by the Renault-Nissan group has improved its future prospects tremendously. While fans still haven’t gotten …

In an effort to target a broader number of potential customers, Mitsubishi will put about a 200-mm gap between each of its SUVs when the next-generation models hit the market, according to a report by Autocar . “Today we aren't in an ideal position, with our SUVs close in size, …

Many people keep wondering why Mitsubishi chose to abandon cars in North America except for the Mirage . As one of the cheapest vehicles on the market (MSRP of $10,998), it does attract more people into showrooms, but this sub-compact car lacks refinement, styling is questionable and the tiny 1.2-litre …

While full-size pickups continue to rule light-vehicle sales in Canada and the United States, the midsize segment is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance led by hot new models like the Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator . Ram may resurrect the Dakota, too. What about foreign makes? The Toyota Tacoma still …

Last summer, Mitsubishi announced details of its new global visual image that dealerships are adopting. And the first one to flaunt the new look in North America is St-Hyacinthe Mitsubishi. To grab everyone’s attention, this new image relies mainly on black, with red accenting that brings a touch of dynamism.

J.D. Power yesterday released its 2019 Customer Service Index Study, which is based on the responses received last fall from more than 57,000 owners and lessees of 2016 to 2018 model-year vehicles in the U.S. Once again, it’s safe to assume the results would be similar in Canada. The study …

GENEVA (Switzerland) – We knew Mitsubishi was preparing an electrified SUV concept for the Geneva Auto Show, but we didn’t expect it to bear this much resemblance to the Outlander PHEV . While the carmaker still hasn’t confirmed the next generation of its midsize SUV, everything about this new concept …

For the 2019 model year, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada has decided to bring back the Black Edition trim package for some of its models, and they’re on display at the Toronto Auto Show . The 2019 Mitsubishi RVR SE Black Edition, priced from $29,998 before freight and delivery charges, …

The Geneva Auto Show is already fast approaching, and Mitsubishi is giving us a glimpse of some the vehicles it plans on displaying at the PalExpo, in Switzerland. Relatively unchanged since 2010, Mitsubishi RVR was long due for an overhaul. An all-new model will therefore arrive next year, at least, …
