In May 2010, Mitsubishi’s total passenger car sales were 489 units, but in 2011 this rose to 888, an increase of 399 units in what is still a very unsettled economic climate.
Mitsubishi’s “Intelligent Motion” environmental range, including the ASX and Outlander crossover vehicles, are also out-selling expectations and making their own contribution to what is turning into a great 2011. The Outlander increased sales by 195% on the same time last year, with 11% of this growth coming from the new 2WD variant.
Mitsubishi dealer, Roy Hitchman, managing director at Oak Tree Garages Ltd, Binley, Coventry, said: “Mitsubishi has always proved a very popular brand with a wide variety of quality vehicles offering plenty of cross-sector appeal.
“Despite the economic situation, buyers will always remain faithful to a brand that has been thoroughly tried and tested and that’s why Mitsubishi sales figures are so strong.”
