Mitsubishi’s
plug-in hybrid commercial range for the UK is welcoming a new member in the
form of the high-spec Outlander PHEV Reflex Plus. This new
spec comes with 18-inch wheels, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with
smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), as well as a
reversing camera. Since it’s eligible for the UK government’s Plug-In Van
Grant, buyers can save £ 7,905 (US$ 10,379), resulting in an OTR price of £ 25,131
(US$ 32,998).
Standard
features on all Outlander PHEV Commercial models include the four-wheel drive
system, rear spoiler, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, heated front
seats, DAB radio, keyless operation, dual-zone climate control, plus a full
load bay bulkhead, and more.
These
Outlanders also come with a flat load area measuring 1.65 m in
length and 1 meter in width between the wheel arches – with a
maximum payload of 500 kg. With
its low emissions characteristics (NEDC 40g/km / WLTP 46g/km), the Outlander
PHEV can also make deliveries in ULEV zones, while its total range is rated at 653 km.
As
for the entry-level Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Commercial Reflex (non-Plus
version), that costs upwards of £ 24,298 OTR (US$ 31,900) in the UK.
According
to Mitsubishi, surveyed Outlander PHEV customers drive half their average
weekly mileage in electric mode, with 68% charging at least once per day and
90% charging multiple times per week (2-3 times or more). Meanwhile, 83% said
that they would recommend an Outlander PHEV to family and friends, while 25%
are considering switching to a fully-electric vehicle as their next purchase.
