Owning NZ’s most popular PHEV SUV just got easier, with 100 of MMNZ’s 2019 VRX Outlander PHEVs being offered at a class-leading run-out price
Mitsubishi's top end Outlander PHEV VRX now offers the most affordable level of premium-style luxury in a PHEV – with a run-out cost of $52,990 (plus On-Road Costs).
With only 100 units up for grabs at a price point that betters a number of petrol and diesel equivalents currently available on the market, those looking to get into an SUV with EV capability will need to act quickly.
“Mitsubishi Motors is a pioneer in hybrid EV technology and we want to encourage as many Kiwis as possible to join the move towards EV motoring,” said Reece Congdon, MMNZ Head of Marketing and Corporate Affairs. “Hopefully the lower price point on our top-of-the-range model should help tip the scales for those still on the fence.
“With more charging stations than ever before, there’s no question that Kiwis are becoming more comfortable with the concept of EV vehicles. The appeal of one that offers the best of both worlds – like the Outlander PHEV – remains high thanks to its ability to offer the fuel-efficiency and low-emission performance of an EV with the convenience and range of a regular SUV.”
In the 2018 financial year, PHEVs were the fastest-growing electric segment in New Zealand.
Since the launch in 2014, MMNZ has sold 1,300 and the rate of uptake continues to climb.
“In 2019, Outlander PHEV sales grew 37% year-on-year, with some record-breaking months that tipped sales over the 1,000 mark.”
