LONDON, England - Less than a year after launch Mitsubishi's Outlander plug-in electric hybrid has overtaken sales of every other plug-in hybrid and battery car, even those on sale since 2011, such as the Nissan Leaf, to become the UK’s favourite plug-in wheels.
By the end of March, the automaker says, sales of the hybrid Outlander will have exceeded 10 000.
Lance Bradley, Mitsubishi Motors’ UK managing director, said: “This is certainly a satisfying achievement for us but more significantly it is an indication that this developing market is beginning to decide which electric vehicle technology delivers the right balance of low-emissions driving, value for money, economy and practicality.”
