Mitsubishi Motors (UK) has reached another significant achievement today as the SMMT figures confirm that the Japanese brand’s passenger car sales have increased 141%[1] on the last fiscal year, meaning that March is the company’s most successful since the company was founded in 1974.
Mitsubishi Motors (UK) confirmed earlier this month that exactly a year after its launch, the Outlander PHEV has now overtaken every other plug-in hybrid and pure-electric vehicle, including the Nissan Leaf and the Toyota Auris and Yaris hybrids. The Outlander PHEV accounted for 55% of the plug-in car market in the month of March[2].
And, it’s not just the Outlander PHEV that is flying out of Mitsubishi dealers’ showrooms, Mitsubishi’s iconic L200 pick-up truck increased sales by 18.6% and the company’s ASX crossover increased sales by 46.6%. The legendary Shogun and diesel Outlander also posted positive increases, up 67.3% and 22.0% respectively.
Mitsubishi Motors (UK) Managing Director, Lance Bradley, said:
“For Mitsubishi, 2014 has been an incredible year of dramatic growth across the Mitsubishi range. We have made impressive and sustainable progress, and as confirmed last week, we are delighted to have broken records with the launch of the UK’s best-selling hybrid vehicle. There is a great feeling across the Mitsubishi network – FY14/15 has been a very special year.”
