Mitsubishi now offers the Outlander PHEV to its motability customers.

For the first time Motability drivers can get behind the wheel of the exciting all-new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV – the country’s best-selling plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

Available across the Mitsubishi dealer network until December 31st 2014, the fantastic family-sized 4x4 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) is on offer for an advance payment from £1,999.

Managing Director of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, Lance Bradley, said:

‘We are very pleased to see the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV on the Motability scheme – it represents Mitsubishi’s strongest Motability offering ever. I’d encourage any motorists that are eligible for the scheme to visit a Mitsubishi dealership for a test drive. It’s a remarkable vehicle that has already proved extremely popular.’

The Outlander PHEV uses both electric and petrol power, and unlike non plug-in hybrid vehicles the Outlander PHEV can travel substantially further on its batteries – 32.5 miles - which is more than enough to accommodate the average daily commute (official SMMT figure: 22 miles per day).

The significant electric-only range gives the vehicle game changing economy and environmental credentials. The official combined fuel consumption figure is just 148mpg and emissions are as low as 44g/km of CO₂. The Outlander PHEV is clever too. Features on the entry model include controllable regenerative braking, keyless entry, Bluetooth and much more.

It has never been easier or more affordable for drivers registered with the Motability scheme to get behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi. Other vehicles available are the Outlander diesel, the ASX active sports crossover and the super-mini Mirage.

Intelligent, economical and luxurious, the Outlander diesel is among the largest SUV’s on the Motability scheme. Packed with clever features, it has a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating, best-in-class fuel efficiency and CO₂ emissions, and is lighter, quieter and more refined than ever. It is available with an advance payment of just £1,599.

There are also outstanding offers on the Mitsubishi ASX crossover, starting with an advance payment of just £149 for the ASX 2. Available with a choice of powerful yet efficient petrol and diesel engines, the ASX offers impressive fuel economy but packs plenty of pulling power when needed. Plus for those who like the assurances that a 4×4 can give, ASX is available as a 4WD. Peace of mind doesn’t just come in the form of the model’s 4WD ability. Each ASX model boasts a five-star Euro-NCAP rating.

Meanwhile, the clever and compact Mirage is roomy enough for five adults and exceptionally economical. It offers a winning blend of chic styling, comfort and low running costs. The vehicle has exceptional economy figures - the Mirage 3 1.2 CVT (automatic) has a combined fuel performance figure of just 68.9mpg. It is also highly maneuverable, with a tiny turning circle – perfect for nipping in and out of traffic and squeezing easily into those smaller parking spaces. What’s more, the Mirage 3 is available with no up-front payment for eligible drivers.
