The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV may not be coming to the United States until sometime between the autumn of 2015 and early 2016, but United Kingdom customers are already lining up at their local dealerships for a test drive of the SUV that can be had for the same price as its diesel sibling.
Cambridge News reports one particular dealership, Duxford Motor Group, had conducted 23 test drives during the two-day launch of the PHEV earlier this month, with 40 to 50 parties rebooked for test drives due to its fiscal popularity. According to sales executive Alex Dunn, the Outlander PHEV retails for £28,250 ($48,150 USD) — which includes a government tax credit of £5,000 ($8,522 USD) — the same price as the 2.2-liter diesel variant, and comes with other benefits, as well:
100 per cent write-down in first year, which is a first for employers, and if you're an employee it's 5 per cent Benefit in Kind which is astonishing. This is one of very few vehicles which is congestion-charge free and it's not a little car, it's a five-seater four-wheel drive vehicle, so it ticks so many boxes fotr [sic] people who perhaps wouldn't have come to our door before – fans of all the big brands are coming to see us. It's a tough car too – rock-solid and super-reliable.
The PHEV has an all-electric range of 32 imperial miles before the 2-liter gasoline engine takes over, and delivers 148 mpg between the engine and two electric motors.
