Mitsubishi Motors In The UK Grows Passenger Vehicle Sales By 31.5% In 2018

2018 proved to be a successful year for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, with sales of passenger vehicles up 31.5% compared 2017.

Mitsubishi Motors commercial vehicles (L200 and-car derived van range) totalled 9,695 registrations in 2018, meaning the brand finished the year with total vehicle sales of 30,851 units, up from 26,498 in 2017.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV finished another strong year as the UK's best-selling plug-in vehicle with 8,701 vehicles registered, an increase of 16% over 2017. The latest model year Outlander PHEV launched in September with improved EV and petrol-engine performance and significantly increased efficiency resulting in impressive WLTP figures of 139mpg and 46g/km, as well as a real-world EV range of 28 miles.

Rob Lindley, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK said 'We are delighted with our sales performance in 2018 and to be growing at a time of challenging market conditions is especially pleasing. We launched three new SUVs in 2018 – the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Shogun Sport and the significantly updated 19MY Outlander PHEV. We also launched a new petrol version of the 7 seat Outlander. We plan to build on this in 2019 with the launch of the new L200 towards the end of the summer. This performance is indicative of our plans for growth and we look to continue this momentum into 2019 and beyond.'
