Mitsubishi Recognized as “Most Improved Alternative Powertrain Loyalty To Make”

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.'s latest triumph: securing the "Most Improved Alternative Powertrain Loyalty to Make" award from S&P Global Mobility for their exceptional performance in 2023.

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has received the prestigious "Most Improved Alternative Powertrain Loyalty to Make" award from S&P Global Mobility for the 2023 calendar year. This recognition, part of S&P Global Mobility's 28th annual Automotive Loyalty Awards program, highlights Mitsubishi's exceptional success in retaining owners to both the brand and their choice of either a BEV or hybrid vehicle offering. This accolade further solidifies the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid's position as an industry leader.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid serves as a bridge from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to the future of full battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). It offers the range and convenience of a conventional gasoline-fueled vehicle along with the clean and quiet operation of an electric vehicle. This versatility addresses the concerns of today's motorists regarding future technologies and makes the Outlander Plug-in Hybrid an appealing choice for a wide range of customers.

As the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV and the best-selling all-wheel-drive PHEV, the 2024 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid builds upon the success of its gasoline-powered counterpart. It features bold styling, advanced vehicle architecture, an award-winning interior, seven-passenger seating, and renowned Mitsubishi SUV capability. Additionally, the plug-in hybrid model incorporates Mitsubishi Motors' plug-in hybrid drivetrain, delivering robust power and torque, impressive all-electric range, and the latest iteration of Mitsubishi's Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) all-wheel drive system.

The Mitsubishi Confidence That Comes Standard

The Mitsubishi Confidence That Comes Standard

Buying a new vehicle is one of the most significant purchases you will make, and at Heritage Mitsubishi, we believe that confidence should come with it. That is exactly what the Mitsubishi Motors Confidence Integrated Care Program is built to deliver. Every 2024 and newer Mitsubishi model comes backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty and care packages in the industry, giving you peace of mind from the moment you drive off the lot and for years down the road. 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty This is the coverage that sets Mitsubishi apart. The 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty is standard on all models for original owners and covers the repair or replacement of select engine, transmission, and transaxle components that may become defective under normal use and maintenance. It is one of the longest powertrain warranties in the industry and a genuine reflection of how confident Mitsubishi is in the vehicles it builds. For subsequent owners, the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 5 years / 60,000 miles transfers with the vehicle, making a pre-owned Mitsubishi an equally smart choice. 2-Year / 30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance Keeping your Mitsubishi properly maintained in the early years of ownership just got easier. The 2-Year / 30,000-Mile Limited Maintenance coverage includes three scheduled service visits within the first two years, helping you stay on top of routine care without any added expense. Each service includes an oil and filter change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, and cabin filter service. Services are redeemable at the following milestones: the first by 12 months or 12,000 miles, and the second and third by 24 months or 30,000 miles. This coverage applies to the original owner of the vehicle. 5-Year / Unlimited-Mile Roadside Assistance Life on the road does not always go as planned, and when it does not, Mitsubishi has you covered. 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance is included for five full years with no mileage limit, so whether you are across town or across the country, help is just a phone call away. This coverage transfers with the vehicle regardless of ownership, giving every driver added reassurance. 7-Year / 100,000-Mile Anti-Corrosion / Perforation Limited Warranty Mitsubishi also stands behind the long-term appearance of its vehicles with a 7-Year / 100,000-Mile Anti-Corrosion and Perforation Limited Warranty, covering metal rust-through in outer body sheet metal panels under normal use. This warranty is transferrable with the vehicle regardless of ownership, adding lasting value whether you plan to keep your Mitsubishi for the long haul or pass it on someday. Together, these four layers of protection form one of the most well-rounded ownership packages you will find in the automotive market today. At Heritage Mitsubishi, we are proud to stand behind every vehicle we sell with the full backing of the Mitsubishi Motors Confidence Integrated Care Program.

The new operation officially launched earlier this year, with more than 500 Mitsubishi vehicles arriving in April and a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in July to celebrate the partnership. The event also welcomed the arrival of the Höegh Sunrise, one of the newest environmentally advanced vehicle carriers, highlighting Mitsubishi's ongoing commitment to more sustainable transportation solutions. This investment reflects Mitsubishi Motors' continued focus on improving the ownership experience by ensuring vehicles reach dealer partners more quickly and efficiently while supporting future growth across the United States.
