Mitsubishi Outlander Arrives At Devonshire Motors

The exciting next-generation Mitsubishi Outlander has arrived at Devonshire Motors in Barnstaple.

It's a car that's very special indeed- and one which has been keenly anticipated by thousands of Mitsubishi's loyal customers across the UK. It represents a hugely exciting direction for the four-wheel drive car. Designed from the ground up to incorporate hybrid plug-in technology, on its way later this year, the new car is very grown up and impressively refined.

And, of course, there's no doubting Mitsubishi's impeccable credentials when it comes to the manufacture and supply of four wheel drive vehicles.

The third generation Outlander combines the practicality and flexibility of a sports utility vehicle with the luxury and refinement of the world's finest family cars. And, having sold just shy of 1 million Outlanders worldwide since 2001, Mitsubishi is naturally very proud of the new vehicle, the safest and most environmentally-friendly version ever produced.

It is, quite simply, packed with clever technological and safety features that are sure to appeal to thousands of potential customers.

It has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating; boasts best-in-class fuel efficiency and co2 emissions; and it is lighter, quieter and more refined than ever beforee.

Drivers and passengers alike will enjoy improved ride comfort and handling thanks to rear multilink suspension and padded, soft touch surfaces and gloss black appliques add a feel of luxury to the Outlander experience once inside the cabin. The new car is certainly no slouch. In fact, it's 0-62mph time is 10.2 seconds, faster than a 1.6 Volkswagen Golf TDI!

It's available with a technologically-advanced 2.2-litre Diesel unit that delivers 148bhp and a top speed of around 125mph. But it's kind to the planet, emitting just 138 g/km of co2.

New Outlander certainly scores highly in the appearance stakes too. A good looking vehicle, appealing and imposing, the car is designed to make the most of the advanced engineering contained within, resulting in a car that's easy on the eye from the outside and attractively laid out inside.

Nathan Tomlinson- our Dealer Principal- said "This new car really is something special- it has so much to recommend it- It's safe, stylish, efficient and economical. It's packed with ingenious technology that makes it a pleasure to drive and own. We are sure it will prove popular with people who have owned an Outlander before- and we're confident it will attract plenty of new admirers too".

The new Mitsubishi Outlander is available at our showroom now- pop in, call us on 01271 342600 or email us on sales@devonshire-motors.co.uk.

The best things in life are free... including 4x4

It was a very wise man (or woman!) who once said that the best things in life are free and, this Winter, Mitsubishi are proving this theory right- offering a free four wheel upgrade on the stunning ASX crossover.

And it couldn't come at a better time. With the first cold snap hitting the UK in recent weeks, and more forecast later in the year, those looking to buy a new vehicle can take advantage of this offer, and the peace of mind that comes with having full 4X4 capability (in this instance, at no extra cost).

The ASX is the ultimate in crossover vehicle- seamlessly combining the performance and handling of a family hatchback with the practicality and versatility of a mid-sized 4X4. And it's not exactly low on standard kit- the ASX3 boasts automatic headlights and wipers, cruise control, Bluetooth, rear parking sensors, steering wheel controls and keyless start! The ASX4 goes one step further and adds a high-tech Kenwood Multimedia Unit and a handy reversing camera.
