Mitsubishi Reviews
Mitsubishi quietly left the UK new car market in 2021 — and is genuinely returning in 2026, led by a new Outlander PHEV. Here's what road tests say about the brand's UK legacy and its comeback.
A Genuine Comeback, Not Business as Usual
Mitsubishi withdrew from selling new cars in the UK back in 2021, choosing to focus resources on more profitable global markets as the industry's shift toward electrification accelerated. That makes 2026 genuinely significant: Mitsubishi is returning to UK showrooms after five years away, led by a new-generation Outlander PHEV, priced from just under £47,000 and going on sale through a rebuilt network of around 60 dealers. The original Outlander PHEV was one of the very first mainstream plug-in hybrids to gain real traction with UK buyers, and it remains the best-selling PHEV ever sold here, giving Mitsubishi a genuine foundation to build the relaunch on rather than starting from scratch.
For anyone considering an older, pre-2021 Mitsubishi already on UK roads, that legacy still matters — models like the ASX and original Outlander PHEV earned solid reputations for dependability and genuine value during their time on sale, even if they were never class leaders for outright polish. The summaries below cover what independent testers found with the models Mitsubishi sold here before the gap, useful context whether you're looking at a used example today or weighing up what the brand's return might offer.
