Mitsubishi adds three new models, all with NIL advance payment, to the list of Motability cars.

New Mitsubishi Motability deals are certain to bring new year cheer to people – especially with nil advance payment on some models. Available until 31^st March 2016, these special offers mean that it’s never been easier or more affordable for people registered with the Motability scheme to get behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi model.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Outlander diesel, plus the super-mini Mirage Attivo are available under the scheme.

Example prices are given below, and full details for all ten models included in the scheme are available at all participating Mitsubishi showrooms.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

The Outlander PHEV is the world’s first plug-in hybrid SUV. Using electric and petrol power, it has an impressive electric range of 32½ miles plus phenomenal economy and environmental credentials, emitting just 42g/km of CO₂ and boasting an official combined fuel consumption figure of 156mpg. 

Its ultra-low emissions mean that no vehicle tax is payable and it’s exempt from the London congestion charge, too. Since it was launched in 2014, it’s become the UK’s best-selling plug-in hybrid, with Mitsubishi Motors in the UK now having sold more than 15,000 of them. 

The five-seater automatic GX3h 4WD is available for an advance payment of £1,488 for people on the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS) or £2,499 for those on Disability Living Allowance (DLA).  

The Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel

The Mitsubishi Outlander diesel has been designed and engineered to stand out in the competitive SUV crossover segment. With its powerful and dynamic appearance plus refined driving experience, combined with Mitsubishi’s reliability and safety standards, it’s a highly impressive offering. 

The new Outlander diesel automatic emits 154g/km and the manual emits 139g/km, while the automatic delivers up to 48.7mpg combined and the manual up to 53.3mpg combined. The five-seater 2.2 DI-D GX2 4WD is available for an advance payment of just £588 for people on WPMS or £1,599 for those on DLA.  

The Mitsubishi Mirage Attivo

The Mirage is already known for its winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort, low running costs and tiny turning circle. 

And the Attivo, which has replaced the earlier models of the compact family car, adds to their great spec with accessories such as heated front seats, cruise control with a limiter, the Mitsubishi Multi Entertainment System – which includes satellite navigation plus a rear-view camera – and electric folding door mirrors with integral indicators. Available as a manual or an automatic, the Attivo delivers up to 65.7mpg, while its CO₂ emissions are just 100g/km for the manual and 99g/km for the automatic. 

This means owners don’t pay any vehicle tax and there’s no liability for the London congestion charge either. Both the manual and automatic versions are available with nil advance payment for people on either WPMS or DLA.
