Mitsubishi has started taking orders for the 2019
Outlander PHEV Commercial in the United Kingdom. It’s priced from £ 25,113 with the local Plug-In Van Grant, but excludes tax.
The brand’s new commercial vehicle has sacrificed
the rear seats for a flat loading area that’s 1,650 mm long, 1,000 mm wide and 800 mm tall. The maximum payload capacity is 510 kg.
Based on the Juro trim level, the Outlander PHEV Commercial
comes with standard 18-inch alloy wheels, reversing camera, heated seats and
heated windscreen. The touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility, Bluetooth and DAB radio is also
included in the equipment list.
The Commercial
uses a 2.4-liter Atkinson cycle petrol engine and two electric motors, one on
each axle. The 165 PS combined output allows for a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 10.5 seconds and a 170 km/h top speed.
The four-wheel drive commercial vehicle has a
WLTP-rated combined fuel economy of 139 mpg UK (2.0 lt/100 km / 116 mpg US) and
a zero-emission driving range of 45 km.
Drivers can select between three driving modes
called Normal, Snow and Lock, which optimize the AWD-system accordingly.
Mitsubishi promises improved performance and efficiency, smoother and quieter
ride and sharper steering courtesy of the quicker steering rack, new shock
absorbers and upgraded vehicle dynamics system.
