Off To a Great Start!

Statistics released from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders for February show that Mitsubishi's sales have almost trebled- up to 192 per cent- on the same month last year- the biggest increase of any manufacturer. A huge success that has been echoed by us here, at Devonshire Motors, on a local scale.

Our recent 'Man from Mitsubishi' event was a resounding success with far more cars- both new and used- sold than we could have expected and, most importantly, many happy customers (everyone loves a fantastic deal)! Mitsubishi's claim that the new Mirage would be a volume seller appears to be coming true and the forecourt is now littered with Mirages in (almost) every colour of the rainbow as we have been frantically ordering to keep up with demand!



Devonshire Motors' Dealer Principal- NathanTomlinson said "We are incredibly excited to have the Mirage in the showroom, already we have seen a huge amount of interest". He added- "The Mirage is class leading in almost every respect: fuel economy, zero road tax, low emission and tightest turning circle to name just a few. Our green demonstration vehicle has certainly been turning heads and we expect the rest of the colour range to have the same effect!".

The other vehicle new to our showroom, and a major factor in the recent sales lift for the Mitsubishi brand, is the Outlander- combining the practicality and flexibility of a sports utility vehicle with the luxury and refinement of the world's finest family cars.

Having sold almost one million Outlanders worldwide since 2001, Mitsubishi is naturally very proud of the new vehicle, the safest and most environmentally friendly version ever produced. And with the latest re-incarnation boasting a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, best-in-class fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions as well as the very latest in technological advancements- it is no surprise that so many have sold already.



The success cannot only be attributed to the vehicles though- Mitsubishi Motors in the UK Sales and Marketing Director, Toby Marshall- suggests that "three things are counting in our favour: the outstanding value of Mitsubishi vehicles across the range, the quality and reliability of those vehicles and the legendary customer service provided"- the latter, specifically, being something of paramount importance to us as a dealership.

More details on the Mirage and Outlander (or any of our vehicles) can be found on our website and we have several available to view and test drive at our showroom in Barnstaple, Devon. Bookings can be made in advance by calling 01271 342600 or emailing sales@devonshire-motors.co.uk.
