AWARD-WINNING MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP IN LINE FOR YET MORE RECOGNITION

AN AWARD-WINNING Mitsubishi dealership in north Devon has made the shortlist for yet another prestigious award ceremony.

Devonshire Motors in Barnstaple is a finalist in two categories at the AM Awards 2016, organised by the magazine Automotive Management, which take place on February 11th at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre. 

The dealership is up for the Excellence in Customer Service and Excellence in Aftersales titles at the glitzy black-tie event which will be hosted by broadcaster Katie Derham. 

Dealer Principal Nathan Tomlinson said: ‘We are delighted to have made the shortlist for not just one but two of these prestigious awards. Customer service and support is what we are known for, we like to think that it is what makes us different – real people, trying hard to look after their customers in a very demanding retail environment. 

The past few years have been fantastic for us and it’s great to see 2016 get off to such a good start too. It’s exciting news and a testament to the hard work that everyone puts in at Devonshire Motors. We are committed to looking after our customers and these nominations reflect that.’

Devonshire Motors consistently receives the maximum five-star satisfaction rating from customers via surveys conducted by Mitsubishi and it is no stranger to success. The dealership is the current Mitsubishi Dealer of the Year, having taken that honour for the second time at the brand’s annual conference last March. 

In 2014 Devonshire Motors was shortlisted for Dealer Principal of the Year and Most Improved Company of the Year at the AM Awards. 

In 2013, Nathan was named Dealer Principal of the Year by: Car Dealer Magazine and at the Motor Trader Industry Awards in London.

DEVONSHIRE MOTORS MAKES IT A TRULY HAPPY NEW YEAR

DEVONSHIRE Motors in Barnstaple is ushering in 2016 with terrific offers across Mitsubishi’s fabulous vehicle range – from its compact Mirage Attivo to the L200 pick-up. The dealership, in Braunton Road, which has just achieved the highest score possible in the latest customer satisfaction survey, is also offering an incredible package of 5 Years’ worth of free servicing to compliment the 5 year warranty available on any new Mitsubishi purchased in January.

The Mitsubishi Mirage Attivo The Mitsubishi Mirage has been designed to be just as at home on busy city streets as it is on country lanes. It’s got a winning blend of chic styling, exceptional comfort, and low running costs. Its features include heated front seats, cruise control with limiter, rear parking sensors and the Mitsubishi Multi Entertainment System (MMES) – which includes satellite navigation plus a rear-view camera. The model also boasts electric folding door mirrors with integral indicators. And the Mirage Attivo has equally fabulous Mitsubishi Personal Lease offers from £135 a month as well as a 5.9% APR representative PCP deal, too. Available as a manual or an automatic, the Attivo, which can seat five people, has a boot capacity of 235 litres, while the 1.2 three-cylinder petrol engine is Euro 6b-compliant and delivers a wallet-friendly 65.7mpg. Emissions are just 100g/km CO2 for the manual and 99g/km for the CVT, which means owners don’t pay any vehicle tax and there’s no liability for the London congestion charge either.
 
The Mitsubishi ASX

Available with a choice of powerful, yet efficient, petrol and diesel engines, the awesome ASX crossover 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.

Among the many new or changed specifications, the ASX ZC has steering wheel audio controls, privacy glass and a premium front centre arm rest/console box. The ASX ZC-M has gained a number of key specification items to create a fresh new look and feel, including new 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels plus DAB, while the range-topping ASX ZC-H has a factory-fitted Mitsubishi Multi-Communication System, boasting a seven-inch high-definition touchscreen display, sat nav, reversing camera, DAB plus FM/AM/LW radio, CD players and a panoramic roof with mood lighting. All engines in the new range meet the latest Euro 6 emission regulations.
 
The Mitsubishi Outlander

Among its many enhancements, the new Outlander diesel has had 40 noise, vibration and harshness improvements. As well as an improved appearance, which includes new-look LED headlamps and new rear lamps, ride and handling have been made even better, while the cabin interior has increased levels of comfort and safety. The 4WD, 7 seat Outlander diesel has a five-star Euro-NCAP safety rating, boasts incredible fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions, and is lighter, quieter and more refined than ever. You can buy one with a £1,000 VAT-inclusive deposit contribution towards a 5.9% APR representative PCP deal as well.  

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

The multi-award-winning Outlander PHEV is the nation’s favourite choice of plug-in vehicle, with Mitsubishi having sold more than 15,000 of them in the UK since the SUV’s launch here in 2014. And with the new model, fuel economy has been improved – up from 148mpg to 156mpg – while CO2 emissions are down from 44g/km to 42g/km. The Outlander PHEV, which continues to benefit from a 5.9% APR representative PCP deal, can travel 32½ miles in electric mode alone – more than enough to accommodate most daily average journey distances. The vehicle is exempt from vehicle tax plus the London congestion charge and qualifies for the Government’s £5,000 Plug-in Car Grant and up to £8,000 of the Government’s Plug-in Van Grant. For company car drivers, it attracts just five per cent taxable benefit in kind, giving them a virtual pay rise of thousands of pounds a year.  

The Mitsubishi Shogun

The legendary Shogun continues to have a 5.9% APR representative PCP offer on the passenger vehicles, making the iconic 4x4 that’s ready to tackle anything a truly attractive proposition. Originally launched in 1982, the Shogun brought to the world a whole new breed of vehicle: a 4x4 that was tough enough to go where others feared to tread yet enjoyed the sort of sophisticated specification more normally associated with top-end saloons.
Needless to say, it’s changed and been updated since then, but it’s still a dyed-in-the-wool, no-holds-barred, authentic off-roader, built to outlast the opposition. Seventy per cent of all new Shoguns are bought by former Shogun owners – need you convincing any further about its merits?

The Mitsubishi L200

The ultimate pick-up that is the Mitsubishi L200 continues to lead the way with the latest offers, thanks to an incredible £2,000 ex-VAT deposit contribution across the Series 4 range (excluding the Challenger model). With its fantastic all-terrain driving capability matched with superb power and performance, the L200 really is a four-wheeled workmate like no other. Meanwhile, the all-new Series 5 model, which was launched in July 2015 to great acclaim, has a 5.9% APR representative PCP offer on high-series variants from Titan and above. The Series 5 was named Best Pick-Up 2015 by judges at Auto Express – the UK’s top automobile weekly – ahead of its UK launch, where it received widespread praise from the motoring press. It was also named Light Commercial Vehicle of the Year and Pick-up of the Year at the 2015 What Van? Awards. Inheriting the DNA of its predecessors and taking the pick-up concept even further, it’s an entirely new vehicle from the ground up, with significant improvements in 330 areas.
The Series 5 is more fuel-efficient than before, with a combined 42.9mpg, and emits just 169g/km of CO2. It has a turning radius of 5.9m and can carry and tow a combined 4.1 tonnes, outshining similar vehicles from other manufacturers.

Anyone buying a new Mitsubishi vehicle from Devonshire Motors in January can also relax in the knowledge that it comes with a fully comprehensive five-year warranty package and a 5 year service plan absolutely free of charge (see advert for details). Devonshire Motors was recently named a five-star dealer after being assessed as part of the ongoing programme of customer feedback monitoring carried out by Mitsubishi Motors in the UK.

Dealer Principal Nathan Tomlinson said: ‘We are delighted to get the ultimate vote of confidence from our customers in making us a five-star dealership. Everybody here works extremely hard to deliver excellent levels of service, so it’s great to see it being recognised. I’m proud of all the team and we will continue to do all we can to provide an excellent service to our existing customers and new customers alike.’ Call Peter, Chris, Jeremy or Nigel at Devonshire Motors on 01271 342 600 or pay them a visit in Braunton Road, Barnstaple, to find out more and arrange a test drive.
