Mitsubishi is not a brand at the forefront of the American consumer's mind. The company makes just three distinct lines of cars for the U.S., and only one has received any updates in the 2020s. Mitsubishi is also one of the few brands in the country that offers a seven-seat plug-in hybrid, the Outlander PHEV. That makes the Nissan-controlled company a natural partner in its would-be parent company's plans to electrify its lineup.
The more interesting collaboration is the truck the two could develop together, one that could also spawn plug-in hybrid and EV variants.According to the report, that truck would be produced in Mexico as the successor to Nissan's relatively recently updated Frontier. The same development could also spawn a Mitsubishi-branded truck, the brand's first in the U.S. since it briefly sold a badge-engineered Dodge Dakota as the Mitsubishi Raider in the late 2000s.
