MITSUBISHI is a Japanese car manufacturer best known in the UK for practical SUVs, four-wheel-drive vehicles and family-friendly cars. Although Mitsubishi no longer sells new cars in the UK, its models remain available on the used-car market. Popular choices include the Outlander, ASX and the rugged Shogun, alongside pick-up trucks such as the L200. Mitsubishi is also remembered for the Lancer Evolution, a high-performance model with a strong following among driving enthusiasts. MITSUBISHI cars are often chosen for their useful space, confident performance in poor weather and reputation for durability. The brand made an early mark in plug-in hybrid motoring with the Outlander PHEV, which helped bring electrified SUVs to a wider audience. If you’re comparing a used Mitsubishi with rivals such as Toyota, Nissan or Hyundai, it may appeal if you want a practical vehicle with a distinctive 4x4 heritage and a strong track record in SUVs and pick-ups.
