GET A ‘65’ PLATE SPECIAL DEAL ON MITSUBISHI VEHICLES AT DEVONSHIRE MOTORS




THE ‘65’ plate is on its way and award-winning Devonshire Motors in Barnstaple is all geared up for it, with sparkling deals on Mitsubishi vehicles to welcome in the shiny new registration on 1st September.

The Braunton Road showroom is offering £1,000 off the awesome crossover that is the ASX, with a 5.9% PCP deal too, as well as wanting just £99 per month for the clever and compact Mirage 1.

The Mirage has a winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort, low running costs and a tiny turning circle. What’s more, its miserly emissions rate means it’s exempt from vehicle tax. Meanwhile, the stunning ASX crossover is available with a choice of powerful yet efficient petrol and diesel engines, and it had a refined diesel engine introduced this July. The ASX offers impressive fuel economy but still packs plenty of pulling power. It also boasts a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating and is available as a four-wheel drive.

The legendary Mitsubishi Shogun is the iconic 4x4 that’s truly ready to tackle anything. It’s the long-time, long-term favourite of those who make real pack-horse, tow-truck, mud-plugging demands of their vehicle on a regular basis. This is a dyed-in-the-wool, no-holds-barred, authentic off-roader. Contract hire on the 4x4 Shogun is £379 per month for the SG4 LWB.

For business users it’s certainly worth considering the benefits of contract hire. With contract hire, you pay a set amount per month to use a vehicle over an arranged time period – usually two or three years. When that period comes to an end, the vehicle is returned to the contract hire company.

You don’t own the vehicle if you take out a contract hire agreement but monthly payments can be a lot less than loan instalments. What’s more, there are substantial benefits for your business – and you get to drive a new set of wheels each time you finish one agreement and start another. This means you’re normally always covered by the manufacturer warranty and you regularly benefit from advances made in technology, fuel economy and safety.

The game-changing Outlander PHEV was launched last year and has quickly become the UK’s best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV. It’s not difficult to see why, as it can save drivers thousands of pounds. The Outlander PHEV can travel up to 32½ miles in electric mode alone, emits just 44g of CO2 per kilometre and has an official combined fuel consumption figure of 148mpg, with a total combined range of 510 miles. It’s exempt from vehicle tax and the London congestion charge, and it qualifies for the government’s £5,000 Plug-in Car Grant. In addition, it attracts just five per cent taxable Benefit in Kind, giving company car drivers a virtual pay rise of several thousand pounds a year.

New Outlander PHEVs are available with a great 5.9 per cent APR PCP deal at Devonshire Motors, so what could be better than a 65-plate Outlander PHEV? A used one with a massive saving, that’s what. Devonshire Motors has a limited number of ex-management Outlander PHEVs available and you can buy one for just £28,995 and still take advantage of the 5.9 per cent APR PCP deal.

The ultimate pick-up that is the Mitsubishi L200 has fantastic all-terrain driving capability matched with superb power and performance. It really is a four-wheeled workmate like no other, and in early July the all-new L200 Series 5 was named Best Pick-Up 2015 by judges at Auto Express – the UK’s top automobile weekly – ahead of its official launch later in the month. It has inherited the DNA of its predecessors and takes the pick-up concept even further. And it received widespread praise from the motoring press as well at its UK launch held last month at the MIRA testing ground in Nuneaton.

The L200 Series 5 is an entirely new vehicle from the ground up, with significant improvements in 330 areas. The result is the ultimate vehicle for commercial duty, combined with SUV-like refinement in quality and dynamic performance. In all key areas the L200 Series 5 is best in class. These include fuel efficiency, performance, emissions and manoeuvrability plus combined carrying and towing. It is also the only pick-up that can be driven permanently in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive on tarmac and off road.

The Series 5 is more fuel-efficient than before, with a combined 42.9mpg, and returns the lowest CO2 figure in its class, emitting just 169g/km. It has a turning radius of 5.9m and can carry and tow a combined 4.1 tonnes, outshining similar vehicles from other manufacturers.

Devonshire Motors was named Dealer of the Year at this year’s annual conference held by Mitsubishi for its UK dealers and is consistently awarded the maximum five-star customer satisfaction rating, so you know you’re going to be looked after well by the expert team there. In addition, all new Mitsubishi models come with a five-year warranty, showing just how much confidence the manufacturer has in the quality and reliability of its vehicles.

Dealer Principal Nathan Tomlinson said: ‘We’ve got a terrific line-up of Mitsubishi vehicles with equally terrific deals and we’re very excited about the “65” plate coming in, it’s an exciting time of year for us and we look forward to welcoming new customers to the dealership as well as continuing to look after our existing customers.’

MITSUBISHI’S NEW SERIES 5 L200 HAS ARRIVED AT DEVONSHIRE MOTORS




IT’S been years in the making but Mitsubishi’s all-new L200 pick-up has now arrived at Devonshire Motors in Barnstaple, having picked up a top award en route – and it’s going to be well worth the wait. The L200 Series 5 received its European premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in February this year and drew widespread praise with its much larger loading area, more muscular bodywork and safety improvements such as Trailer Assist and seven airbags. In July, the all-new L200 was named Best Pick-Up 2015 by judges at Auto Express – the UK’s top automobile weekly. It has inherited the DNA of its predecessors and takes the pick-up concept even further. 

And it received widespread praise from the motoring press as well last month, at its UK launch held at the MIRA testing ground in Nuneaton.

The L200 Series 5, which has four specification levels, is an entirely new vehicle from the ground up, with significant improvements in 330 areas. The result is the ultimate vehicle for commercial duty, combined with SUV-like refinement in quality and dynamic performance. In all key areas the new L200 Series 5 is best-in-class. These include fuel efficiency, performance, emissions and manoeuvrability plus combined carrying and towing. It is also the only pick-up that can be driven permanently in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive on tarmac and off road.

The Series 5 is so much more fuel-efficient than before, now with a combined 42.9mpg, and returns the lowest CO2 figure in its class, emitting just 169g/km. It has a turning radius of 5.9m and can carry and tow a combined 4.1 tonnes, outshining similar vehicles from other manufacturers.

Powered by the new 2.4-litre MIVEC turbo-diesel engine, all high-series variants come with 178bhp in a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual. And with its leather interior and clean dashboard layout, it’s even been likened to a premium, executive vehicle more than a pick-up truck.

Nathan Tomlinson, Dealer Principal at Devonshire Motors in Braunton Road, said: ‘Everyone here is incredibly excited about the L200 Series 5. Our customers really love the existing L200 as it does such a great job and the new Series 5 is just so much better in every respect, we know that it won’t disappoint in the slightest. It’s as competent climbing up a mountain or navigating a building site as it is comfortable on a motorway or around city streets. It’s easy to drive, quick, economical and just amazing off-road and as a work vehicle for towing. Without any doubt it’s going to be even more of a hit than its predecessors were.’

The L200 is the biggest-selling 4x4 pick-up in the UK. Mitsubishi has sold 130,000 here since its launch in 1987 and 1.3 million worldwide. 



The L200 range comes with the longest warranty of any pick-up in the UK – five years or 62,500 miles. They are also supplied with a 12-year anti-corrosion perforation warranty and three-year pan-European breakdown cover plus home and accident insurance.

The all-new L200 Series 5 will go on sale in September, but Devonshire Motors have already have a showroom vehicle on display with more stock and a demonstrator on its way. Initially available in double cab, prices start from £19,749 for the 4Life, £20,749 for the Titan, £23,049 for the Warrior and £23,799 for the top-of-the-range Barbarian. The prices quoted are the commercial vehicle list prices.
