Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has seen a pair of its 2013 vehicle offerings - the versatile and stylish Lancer compact sport sedan and the dynamic Outlander Sport compact crossover - named by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as 'Top Safety Picks'.

For the sixth year in a row, the Mitsubishi Lancer compact sport sedan* (including Sportback 5-door) joins the elite group of 2013 model vehicles that meet the Insurance Institute's rigid vehicle crash testing criteria in order to be called an IIHS 'Top Safety Pick'. The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the company's varied model lineup as it achieves a lofty EPA-rated 34 mpg highway (DE and ES models with the 2.0-litre engine).

And for a second year in a row, the Mitsubishi Motors' made-in-America five-passenger 2013 Outlander Sport compact crossover makes the grade as an IIHS 'Top Safety Pick'. With a MSRP starting price of only $19,170, the 2013 Outlander Sport achieves an impressive EPA-rated 31 mpg highway.
