MITSUBISHI Australia has the enviable posture of ‘first mover status’ in conditions of the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV room in this place, and have been it not for anything identified as the Holden Volt, the 3-Diamond model would have been the first to promote a PHEV in Australia, period of time.

 

But while the company’s first plug-in, the 2013 Outlander PHEV, would go on to only account for around two per cent of all Outlander profits, Mitsubishi’s next energy at a mass-market PHEV promises to make a more substantial splash.

 

With a value of entry $1500 down below the Outlander PHEV but with shut to a $13K top quality in excess of the petrol Eclipse Cross and the least expensive PHEV getting $5700 additional than the most high priced combustion-only design, Mitsubishi prefers to see electrified variants current at a level earlier mentioned the typical Eclipse Cross spouse and children. Even so, it’s by no signifies low cost.

 

Nonetheless, while the Outlander PHEV had the electrified SUV market rather substantially all to alone for substantially of the previous eight yrs, the Eclipse Cross PHEV will have to do battle with rivals like the Kia Niro, MG HS and additional traditional hybrids like the terribly preferred Toyota RAV4 hybrid.

 

Is the Eclipse Cross recipe suitable sufficient to see off these kinds of rigid competition?
