Sales in the first quarter of 2015 for the auto manufacturer are up 19.9 percent from the same period last year; this is the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit sales increases for the brand.

The U.S.-built Outlander Sport 5-­passenger compact crossover led the way with sales of 3,226 units. The affordably-priced, fuel-efficient Mirage 5-door subcompact delivered its best-ever month of sales since its relaunch with 2,488 units in March.
