100 Year Celebration
1917 WE STARTED OUR FIRST CAR ENGINE
The Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company LTD. had operated prior to 1917. But it was in that year its very first car was launched; the Mitsubishi Model-A. Designed as a luxury vehicle for officials of the Government, the Model-A sowed the seeds for the popular, global brand Mitsubishi Motors was to become by being the first car to be mass-produced in Japan.
OUR YEARS IN THE DESERT
In 1982, the legendary Pajero four-wheel drive was launched. The ultimate test of its ability was the infamous Paris-Dakar rally. In 1983, Pajero won the triple crown in its first appearance at this punishing race. The wins continued and in 2007 Mitsubishi set a record for 7 victories back to back and their 12th championship.
THE FUTURE OF DRIVING, HERE AND NOW
With our focus firmly on innovation, we launched the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in 2013. Never before had an SUV offered such remarkable efficiency. The fact that it also offered the everyday practicality of a family SUV saw it become the best-selling vehicle of its type in New Zealand.
Lest we forget...
