Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand Information

Our passion is building vehicles so you can enjoy the drive and leave a better world behind you. We’ve been building vehicles since 1917, with a proud history in New Zealand stretching back over 40 years. You’ll see our cars, 4WDs and SUVs on every road, track and boat ramp of this country. Our warranty looks after you like no other and our relentless pursuit of efficient technology is part of our commitment to the environment. Our history in New Zealand is closely tied to the Todd Corporation. In 1870, the Todd Group was central to the wool trade in Otago. Its founders saw the need for transportation and opened a network of repair garages in the early 20th century. This understanding of what New Zealanders need from their vehicles led the Todd Group to secure the franchise for Mitsubishi cars, trucks and buses in 1970. Three years later, our assembly plant at Porirua opened and the Mitsubishi vehicles you grew up with made their way into the nation’s garages. Although assembly ceased in Porirua in 1998, the Todd Group continues to provide the vehicles Kiwis want and lead the way with the efficient technology the world needs. 2017 marked 100 years of vehicle innovation for Mitsubishi and we’re already shaping the vehicles of the future.
