Mitsubishi Motors Europe said it would follow up the new generation ASX and the redesigned Colt due in autumn 2023 with the flagship Outlander in 2024.

The Outlander PHEV is already on sale in North America as a 2023 model and the EU version “reconfirms the brand’s commitment to the reference European region, and will further expand its offering in core segments with electrified models”, MME said in a statement.

A spokesman told Just Auto by email the new model would be launched only in LHD markets – on 1 October 2021, Mitsubishi Motors UK halted all new car sales for good as its contract with Colt Car Company ended and the aftersales business was sold to Subaru and Isuzu importer International Motors which created a new subsidiary for service parts and accessories.
