Mitsubishi Launch New High-Spec Outlander PHEV

Hybrid Vehicles, News / By

Just when you thought the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV couldn’t be any more versatile, Mitsubishi have launched a brand new trim level to cater more towards the company car market. To find out what we think of the car, check out our review in the current issue of AutoVolt.

Individually hand crafted sumptuous leather seats, low level mood lighting, a sound system dynamically optimised with the vehicle’s interior acoustics and all-essential multiple USB charging ports are standard in the newly launched Outlander GX5h and GX5hs plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

Externally, the new models have full length side steps for easier cabin access and the addition of a rear spoiler.

Moreover, the new Outlander GX5h and GX5hs invite very little interest from HM Revenue and Customs. The top of the range GX5hs is priced at £44,999 and attracts just £75 a month in personal benefit-in-kind tax (BIK) and is exempt from road tax too.

Emissions are the same as the rest of the range, at just 44g/km of CO2 and the official combined fuel consumption figure is 148mpg. The new Outlander GX5h and GX5hs are eligible for the Government’s plug-in car grant (PICG) and companies can offset 100 per cent of the purchase value against profit in the first year of ownership.

Clive Messenger, Head of Corporate Sales, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, says:

“The GX5h and GX5hs plug-in hybrid Outlanders offer such a fantastic package of benefits for both companies and company car drivers – high specification, luxury feel, low running costs, strong environmental credentials. We are expecting it to quickly populate company car choice lists UK-wide.”
