CYPRESS, Calif. – Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA), the fastest-growing Asian brand in the U.S. for the second consecutive year*, today announced a new addition to its North American dealer network – Roger Kehdi Mitsubishi in Tigard, Oregon. The dealership opened its doors to the community in mid-February.

'This is a great time to join the growing Mitsubishi dealership network, and we're looking forward to introducing the brand to a new group of customers,' said Roger Kehdi, dealer principal, Roger Kehdi Mitsubishi. 'We're dedicated to helping our customers find the perfect Mitsubishi vehicle that suits their needs, and we look forward to growing and strengthening our partnership with MMNA in the years ahead.'

Last year, MMNA expanded its national field operations network from two regions to four by adding new offices in Florida and California in an effort to reinforce sales support for dealers. Additionally, these new regions offer better and faster customer support in parts, accessories and service of new Mitsubishis. The other field operations are located in New Jersey and Texas.

With four unique vehicles in the hot crossover CUV segment, including the Outlander PHEV, the world's best-selling plug-in hybrid CUV**, MMNA posted overall sales of 118,074 vehicles in 2018, up 13.9 percent over 2017. This was the brand's best annual sales performance since 2007. This momentum continues to strengthen the brand's dynamic CUV lineup while attracting an expanded pool of buyers in showrooms across the country.

'We are continuing to build momentum with the addition of Roger Kehdi Mitsubishi to our portfolio of dealers,' said Greg Carrow, regional dealer network manager, western region, MMNA. 'As we add new dealerships to previously untapped markets, we'll continue to work diligently toward improving and strengthening the shopping experience for customers across our entire North American dealer network.'
