Mitsubishi continues as the fastest growing brand this year

Figures released today show that Mitsubishi Motors in the UK continues to enjoy a buoyant 2013, with sales running almost 50 per cent ahead of last year.

The latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reveal that during May, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK sold 24 per cent more new vehicles than it did in the same month last year.

In total this year, sales of Mitsubishi passenger vehicles are up 49 per cent versus the same period last year, making Mitsubishi the fastest growing brand in the UK.[1]*

Sales momentum has been building for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK as the year has progressed, with the arrival of the all-new Outlander and the all-new Mirage, giving the Company the opportunity to increase its profile and attract more customers.

The all-new Outlander is the latest incarnation of Mitsubishi Motors' highly regarded and versatile SUV; while Mirage is the compact and clever city car that's so efficient that it has zero road tax across the whole range.

Nearly 1,000 new Outlanders have been sold since its launch, while Mirage sales are already at 1,300.

Sales of the rugged and reliable L200 pick-up truck also continue to grow, and are 15 per cent up on last year.

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

'Naturally, we're pleased that more and more buyers are coming to us. We've always been well known for the quality and reliability of our vehicles but new Outlander and Mirage have added some additional excitement to our range.

I'd also like to pay tribute to our network of dealers right across the UK. It goes without saying that people are attracted to the Mitsubishi brand by our cars, but the excellent customer service we deliver is crucial as well.'
