Mitsubishi reports that its U.S. sales during the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 4.3% year-over-year to 23,799, but the year-to-date result is up 6.3% at 77,176.

The plug-in hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV noted a relatively positive result of 1,008 units (up 6% year-over-year), which is 4.2% of the total volume. That's better than expected considering the growing competition in the PHEV segment.

In the near future, Mitsubishi will introduce an all-new plug-in hybrid Outlander with improved motor output for more powerful road performance and increased battery capacity for greater all-electric range. It will also be a three-row version compared to today's two-row Outlander PHEV.

Until then, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has to compete with multiple other mainstream PHEVs:
