Autoesque

Mitsubishi importers and dealers across Europe are probably looking at the 2022 Outlander with a mixture of envy, frustration and anger. That’s because they won’t get to sell it, following the brand’s recent decision to stage an ordered withdrawal from the continent.

Thanks to a well-executed facelift, the Mitsubishi Mirage five-door supermini now looks a lot less nondescript than before.

Buyers of the Mitsubishi L200 pick-up can now opt for a new trim grade called Trojan. Intended to slot between the existing 4Life and Warrior variants, it’s being offered in Double Cab guise only.

A van conversion of a plug-in hybrid SUV with permanent four-wheel drive can be described as a rather niche product. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Commercial is.

Mitsubishi’s ASX is rapidly approaching its tenth birthday. In automotive terms, that’s fairly ancient, so the compact SUV is getting another facelift to help it stay relevant in an increasingly crowded market segment.

Anonymous and innocuous are two words that could describe the Mitsubishi Mirage. While such unfortunate epithets are hard to shake off, some changes to the trim grade structure mean that canny buyers might want to give this supermini proper consideration.

Mitsubishi has unveiled an updated version of its L200. The pick-up – which is named Triton in some markets – benefits from several cosmetic and technical enhancements.

Mitsubishi has created a cargo-carrying variant of the recently-launched five-door Shogun Sport. Named Commercial, it’ll be available exclusively in the UK.

Last year’s L200 Barbarian SVP limited edition must have been a success, because Mitsubishi has just announced the Barbarian SVP II. Created by the company’s Special Vehicle Projects team, the new model closely follows its predecessor’s formula.

Artificial Intelligence, which seems to be the motor industry's latest obsession, is a key feature of the new e-Evolution Concept.

As part of its new Special Vehicle Projects programme, Mitsubishi has launched the L200 Barbarian SVP.

Next month's Geneva Motor Show will see the unveiling of Mitsubishi's Eclipse Cross.

A series of small changes might make the all-wheel drive Outlander plug-in hybrid a slightly more practical proposition.

Given that the current L200 is the most popular pick-up in the UK, the fifth-generation version is going to be immensely important for Mitsubishi's sales figures. This all-new model, which will be offered initially in double cab guise only, arrives at UK dealers in September.

Mitsubishi has announced that a specially-prepared Outlander PHEV is going to compete in October’s Baja de Portalegre 500.

Last November the Mitsubishi Triton was launched in Thailand, the country where it's built. Now this all-new pick-up is coming to Europe, renamed L200.

While the Outlander PHEV boasts a clever hybrid powertrain, it sure does look dull. Perhaps finally realising this, Mitsubishi has created the Concept-S which is due to debut at next month’s Paris Motor Show.

This year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will once more see Mitsubishi competing in the electric car class.

Prices for the new Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle will start from £28,249 in the UK. Unusually, that makes it the same as an equivalent diesel-powered Outlander.

Mitsubishi is bringing the Lancer Evolution X back to the UK, albeit in extremely limited numbers. Indeed, just 40 examples of the new FQ-440 MR special edition are going to be built.
