A plug-in hybrid electric SUV has become one of Mitsubishi's stars in its first month on the lot in New Zealand.
The Outlander PHEV, which can produce mileage figures under 2L/100km, has been heavily promoted since its launch.
This added up to a stunning 41-vehicle month for the company, making it the best-selling electric vehicle on the market.
Top dealer Andrew Simms says he, like many others in the group, is surprised by how well the plug-in offroader has fared in a very competitive market segment.
"We knew it would go well," he told Driven, "but I don't think any of us thought it would be this good. But it's a price point that's more effective than anything else that's come before it and it does offer a pretty good proposition for urban drivers."
