Mitsubishi Motors UK has invited customers to test drive the Outlander PHEV for a full 24 hours, so potential buyers can experience living with a plug-in hybrid.

Over 100 Mitsubishi dealers nationwide are offering the test drives, including the Mitsubishi Lakeside store in West Thurrock.

Customers wanting to take advantage of the offer can plug their car into a domestic three-pin socket and charged overnight when energy demand is at its lowest.

Mitsubishi Motors in the UK’s managing director, Rob Lindley, said: “The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is the UK’s number one plug-in vehicle and has been for the last four years. 

"We have over 39,000 customers who can attest to what a great car this is and how well it fits into their everyday lives.

“As sales for EV and PHEV vehicles continue to grow rapidly in the UK, now we are offering the opportunity for potential customers to enjoy a real-world, 24-hour experience in the Outlander PHEV to give them the chance to see just how well it works for them too.

“We believe that many customers will be utterly converted and will never look back. Go on. Give it a try yourself!”

The new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is available from £34,255.
