We get the 2011 / 2012 Mitsubishi EVO X in for a week to review in its lowest powered guise – the FQ-300 GSR SST. Is it still a real Evo? Mitsubishi Evo X Review What can we say about the Mitsubishi Evo (or to be precise, in this case, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X [...]
Mitsubishi are teasing a new model for the Geneva Motor Show in March. Could it a be new Outlander based on the recent PX-MiEV II Concepts? We’ve only just got over the Detroit Motor Show reveals, and car makers are already queuing up to tease us with offerings for the Geneva in March. Today it’s Mitsubishi’s [...]
Mitsubishi has added a limited edition Shogun at the top of the range – the Mitsubishi Shogun Black. Recently we had the Mitsubishi ASX Black arrive with all the toys in Mitsubishi’s options box thrown at the compact SUV to produce a credible range-topper. And now Mitsubishi are pulling the same trick on the real-deal [...]
Mitsubishi has launched a Special Edition version of their compact SUV – the Mitsubishi ASX Black – with styling and specification upgrades. It’s just over a year since we reviewed the Mitsubishi ASX, Mitsubishi’s new offering in the compact SUV / crossover market. And we thought it a decent effort from Mitsubishi, if a little [...]
Mitsubishi are taking an updated version of the PX-MiEV plug-in hybrid crossover which promises the power of a V6 and a range of 800km. As you’ve no doubt realised over the last year or two, Mitsubishi is trying to change from the maker of very able SUVs and quick saloons in to a fluffy bunny car maker [...]
Mitsubishi boss has said the Evo XI will drop its existing engine and instead get a diesel electric hybrid. Just as we predicted. There was much speculation earlier this year that Mitsubishi were going to drop the Evo from its range, leading to much angst amongst teenage boys with pizza faces. But we reckoned we would instead [...]
It’s been revealed that the Infiniti M is to be rebadged by Mitsubishi as a new range-topping saloon. At least in Japan. In the UK, the top of the tree Mitsubishi is the Mitsubishi Lancer, a mid-sized offering from the Japanese car maker aimed at competition in the Golf sector. Even if it is a [...]
A quick round-up of the jolly April fools japes the motor industry foisted on an unsuspecting – and not as gullible as they think – public. Just as we did last year with car April Fool stuff, it seems to make more sense to do a roundup of what hilarious pranks the motoring world – renowned for [...]
Mitsubishi is reassuring us that the Evo is not being killed off, but we expect the Evo X to be replaced by a Mitsubishi Evo XI plug-in hybrid. FaceSpace has been convinced that the Mitubishi Evo X is about to go to the great rally track in the sky, no longer to be the Playstation [...]
Mitsubishi are dropping the Mitsubishi Evo to redefine themselves as makers of electric cars and hybrids. What ‘O’? Yes, it’s Sunday morning and none of our brains are exactly on fire. But we still seem to be thinking more clearly than Mitsubishi, who have revealed they are to drop the Evo and concentrate on electric [...]
Mitsubishi reveals the Juro special edition for the Colt 1.3 – the Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 Juro – with SatNav, Aircon & Leather for £10,499 Mitsubishi do have a fondness for sticking a Juro badge on their cars and miraculously adorning them with big specs and low prices. Which should, by rights, have buyers beating a [...]
In part 2 of our review and road test of the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 DI-D Juro we see if it can really stack up as a family car. Roomy? Well built? Economical? We’ll see. Is the Mitsubishi Lancer a decent family car? It’s hard to see how it can’t be. It’s competing with the Golfs [...]
Mitsubishi sends us the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 DI-D Juro for a week to review and road test. A decent family car or just a cheap Evo lookalike? “Wow, cool car,” said my teenage niece when I pulled up outside the house. “Can you take me to school in it?” Which of course I could. Which [...]
Mitsubishi has revealed their Mitsubishi Concept Global Small will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Just call it the 2012 Mitsubishi Colt. It’s easier. We had a little teaser sketch in from Mitsubishi back in December telling us about their ‘Mitsubishi Concept Global Small’. Which obviously arrived on a busy day, or didn’t [...]
Mitsubishi has released costs for leasing, buying and contract hire on the electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV, which becomes eligible for the £5k electric car subsidy this week. We had to run some sort of story on electric cars this week as the UK government’s misguided £5k subsidy to makers of electric cars kicks in as the New Year arrives. Mind you, [...]
In part 2 of our review and road test of the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 Diesel 2WD we look at the performance and drive-ability. Is the ASX any good on road? The 1.8 litre diesel engine fitted to our Mitsubishi ASX 3 1.8 Diesel 2WD is perhaps the most individual part of this new ASX, offering as [...]
Mitsubishi is making their electric city car – the Mitsubishi i-Miev – quite a bit bigger to cater for the US market. It’s a big enough problem getting the UK and Europe to buy in to the idea of a very small city car, much less one powered by an electric motor with all the power of a glorified [...]
Mitsubishi are producing a front wheel drive version of the 2011 Outlander. Plus a revised 2.2 litre diesel fitted with more power & lower emissions. Mitsubishi has a proper SUV history with the Shogun. And even the softer SUV that is the Mitsubishi Outlander has proper off-road abilities – it’s not just capable of getting [...]
We spend a week with Mitsubishi’s new crossover come compact SUV – the Mitsubishi ASX – with a 1.8 diesel and 2WD. Is it good enough to be a Mitsubishi ‘SUV’? The world is full of compact SUVs which look like the real thing after a boil wash. Which was all the rage just a [...]
We spend a week playing Bob the Builder with the car come pickup that is the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian. Tax dodging pick-up or sensible compromise? Meddling Governments have long distorted the car sales marketplace. Motorists are always seen as an easy target, and company car running motorists even more so. Since the last Labour lot [...]
Mitsubishi has facelifted the Outlander for 2010 / 2011, and we grab the lead-in limited edition Mitsubishi Outlander Juro for the week. Decent improvements? The Mitsubishi Outlander has always been a bit of a difficult car to pigeon-hole. It’s really too big to be considered a realistic option against some of the softroaders like the Kuga or the [...]
In part two of our review and road test of the 2010/2011 Mitsubishi Outlander – the Juro Limited Edition version – we look at what’s on offer. What we have in for the week is the Mitsubishi Outlander Juro, a Limited Edition model with all the bells and whistles designed as a lead-in for the [...]
Mitsubishi has slashed the price of their plug-in electric car – the Mitsubishi i-MiEV – in order to compete with the likes of Nissan’s LEAF. With Mitsubishi getting in to mainstream electric cars before any other big car maker with the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, they had a big advantage. They were the first to mass-produce an electric car; [...]
Part 2 of our road test and review of the 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun LWB Elegance. And our verdict. Can it match up to the Discoveries and X5s of this world. But only until you get used to it. Once you are, you genuinely don’t hear it as you sink your foot to the floor for a rather leisurely sprint to 60mph [...]
