Outlander PHEV's success encourages Mitsubishi to plan an expanded range of plug-in hybrid and electric SUVs. Mitsubishi is working at top speed on an all-new range of plug-in hybrid and electric SUVs, aiming to establish itself as the world leader in a niche for environmentally friendly soft-roaders and lift its image and prices towards the premium bracket. The plan, outlined exclusively to Autocar by Mitsubishi chairman and CEO Osamu Masuko during a visit to London, follows the impressive sales performance of the Outlander PHEV, launched last year. UK sales to the end of June 2015 totalled 7255 units, more than double those of the Nissan Leaf. Last year it topped sales of electric cars and PHEVs in the UK and Europe.
