No change for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK amid withdrawal u-turn ‘speculation’

There will be no u-turn of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK’s decision to transition away from new car sales, despite reports which suggest the Japanese carmaker could review its decision to withdraw from Europe.

Speaking to AM this afternoon a spokesman for the brand’s UK operation said that there would be “no change” to its current plan to cease trading as a new car sales franchise and transition to aftersales-only by the end of 2021.

“Our plans aren’t about to change,” he insisted. Mitsubishi isn’t developing any more new cars for Europe and that’s a fact.”
