MAGNIFICENT MOTABILITY OFFERS AT DEVONSHIRE MOTORS






SPRING has sprung and there are magnificent Motability deals at Devonshire Motors for people to warm to now the warmer months are here – including nil advance payment on some models.

Available until 30th June at the Barnstaple dealership, the special offers mean it’s never been easier or more affordable for people registered with the Motability scheme to get behind the wheel of their ideal Mitsubishi model.

Motability is becoming increasingly popular at Mitsubishi dealerships, and during the first quarter of this year more than 1,500 applications have been received, proving how competitive Mitsubishi pricing is.

Vehicles available under the scheme are the UK’s best-selling Outlander PHEV and its diesel Outlander counterpart, as well as the all-new super-mini Mirage and awesome ASX crossover.

The Outlander PHEV is the world’s first plug-in hybrid SUV. Using electric and petrol power, it has an impressive electric range of 32½ miles plus phenomenal economy and environmental credentials, emitting just 44g/km of CO2 and boasting an official combined fuel consumption figure of 148mpg. The five-seater GX3h automatic model is available with an advance payment of just £1,499, or £1,999 for the version with leather seats.

Intelligent, economical, luxurious and safer than ever before, the Outlander diesel is among the largest SUVs on the scheme. Packed with clever technological features, it has achieved a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating, boasts best-in-class fuel efficiency and CO2

emissions, and is lighter, quieter and more refined than ever. It’s available with an advance payment of just £1,699 for the GX2 manual five-seater, £1,899 for the seven-seat GX3 manual and £1,999 for the seven-seat GX3 manual with leather. The GX3 Auto at £2,299 is the largest seven-seat auto SUV on the scheme – and all Outlanders are four-wheel-drive.
Meanwhile, the clever and compact Mirage is roomy enough for five adults and exceptionally economical. Mirage has been designed and engineered from the wheels up to offer a winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort and low running costs. The vehicle boasts exceptional fuel economy figures.

To give an example, the Mirage 3 1.2 CVT (an automatic) version returns 68.9mpg (combined). It also maximises manoeuvrability with a tiny turning circle – perfect for nipping in and out of traffic and squeezing easily into those smaller parking spaces.

What’s more, both the Mirage 2 1.2 and Mirage 3 1.2 are available with a nil advance payment to eligible drivers, while the Mirage 3 1.2 CVT Auto is available for an advance payment of just £199.

There are also outstanding offers on the stunning ASX crossover, starting with an advance payment of just £49 for the 2 1.6. Available with a choice of powerful yet efficient petrol and diesel engines, the ASX offers impressive fuel economy but packs plenty of pulling power when needed. Plus for those who like the assurances that a 4×4 can give, ASX is available as a 4WD. And peace of mind doesn’t just come in the form of the model’s 4WD ability, as each ASX model boasts a five-star Euro-NCAP rating.

Nathan Tomlinson, Dealer Principal at Devonshire Motors’ showroom in Braunton Road, said: ‘We are proud of our ongoing commitment to Motability, and these current offers are really strong.

‘There’s something for everyone here, from the practical and fun-to-drive Mirage to the revolutionary Outlander PHEV, so I’d encourage any eligible motorist to visit our dealership to see how easy and affordable it can be to get behind the wheel of a brand-new Mitsubishi.’ Motability is a national charity offering disabled people the opportunity to obtain a car,

powered wheelchair or scooter by using Government-funded mobility allowances. To qualify, recipients must receive a higher-rate Motability component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement. The scheme is also available to parents and carers.

NEW VEHICLES WILL HELP COMPANY REACH THOSE IN NEED


A Devon-based firm that provides support for those with disabilities and complex needs will be able to reach more people thanks to its two new Mitsubishi Mirages from Devonshire Motors.
Larkstone Supported Living has just collected the matching pair of vehicles from the award-winning dealership in Barnstaple.

A delighted Natasha Hayler, Manager at Larkstone Supported Living, explained why the vehicles are so important.

‘The two new Mirages will be based at Ilfracombe and Bideford and they will be used by our outreach workers to support people in the community,’ she said.
‘We work with people with complex needs all over north Devon but not all of our support staff have their own vehicles, so the two new Mirages will enable them to go out into the community and visit people using our resources.’
With the Mirages each expected to cover 400 miles a month it was important to Larkstone Supported Living to find vehicles that were comfortable to drive and economical to run.
Natasha said: ‘The cars needed to be financially viable and the Mirages are economical to run, which is good because they will be doing lots of short journeys each day.’

The firm has previously used Devonshire Motors, which was named Mitsubishi dealer of the year at the company's annual conference in March, for its vehicles and Natasha added: ‘We have certainly got good value from them and they have been very good to us.’

Sales Controller Peter Starbuck said: ‘We have had a relationship with Larkstone Supported Living for some time and we were delighted to be able to provide their latest 


vehicles. The Mirages are exactly what they need – they are great for driving round town and will save the company money on fuel bills.’

The clever and compact supermini is roomy enough for five adults. It’s exceptionally economical and kind to the planet too, with CO2 emission levels across the whole line-up lower than 100g/km.

The Mirage has been designed and engineered from the wheels up to offer a winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort and low running costs. It boasts fuel economy across the range of between 65.7 and 68.9mpg (combined).

Safety has of course been a key concern and Mirage uses Mitsubishi’s RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body design. And buyers can be assured that all cars will benefit from Mitsubishi’s legendary build quality and attention to detail.
