The Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid has been a standout success, earning accolades like Green Car Journal’s Family Green Car of the Year for three consecutive years, the 2024 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Award for Best Small Utility, and an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
President and CEO Mark Chaffin highlighted MMNA’s commitment to growth and community impact, reinforced by the “Momentum 2030” business plan. This initiative promises expanded vehicle offerings, technological advancements, and job creation, with new or refreshed models debuting annually through 2030.
MMNA’s contributions extend beyond business, exemplified by its partnership with nonprofits like Tucker’s House, providing a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid to support accessibility projects for families of children with disabilities.
Other beneficiaries include the Community Resource Center and Charis Health Center, which used MMNA vehicles to assist with disaster relief and vaccine transport.
By combining innovation, sustainability, and community focus, MMNA has solidified its role as an economic and social leader in Tennessee while delivering exceptional vehicles like the Outlander and Eclipse Cross. For more information, visit MitsubishiCars.com.
