The new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is scheduled to hit UK dealerships in next spring, will be exempt from the London Congestion Charge, the Japanese automaker revealed today.
The new Transport for London rules require hybrid vehicles to run at least 10 miles using electric power alone and emit less than 75g/km CO2 in order to qualify for the London Congestion Charge. The 2014 Outlander PHEV will be able to travel 32 miles in EV mode and will emit only 44g/km CO2.
As a reminder, the Outlander PHEV is motivated by the company's "Twin Motor 4WD" powertrain and has a maximum range of 514 miles. Top speed in EV mode is 75 mph, while the combustion engine can take it up to 105 mph.
"Everyone at Mitsubishi is incredibly excited about the arrival of the PHEV version of Outlander. Not only is it extremely clean and green, but it is fantastic to drive. Power from the car is delivered quietly and smoothly. It certainly doesn’t hang around either! With so much already going for it, the fact that it now qualifies for Congestion Charge exemption is great news," said Toby Marshall, sales & marketing director of Mitsubishi UK.
