Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi is part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance will be famous to Brits thanks to its range of tough 4x4s – like the Shogun and L200 pick-up and four-wheel-drive Lancer performance cars made famous in motorsport. Mitsubishi also made big waves in the electric car world with its Outlander PHEV as it was the first plug-in hybrid SUV to arrive in the UK. At the time of its launch in 2013, the Outlander PHEV was initially sold at the same price as the diesel-powered Outlander, leading to it becoming the best-selling plug-in hybrid. Mitsubishi also offered a fully-electric car called the i-MiEV in the early-2010s which also came in Peugeot and Citroen versions. Sadly, Mitsubishi will be withdrawing from the UK market once stocks of its existing models have been sold.
