One of the major advantages of using a car leasing scheme is the ease at which people find it to stay up to date with the latest technology in a world, where scientific breakthroughs often have profound effects on both the budget and the environment.<\/p>\n
Mitsubishi are at the forefront of hybrid technology and will debut the all-new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle (EV) at theupcoming Paris Motor Show.<\/p>\n
The car manufacturer believes that the hybrid engine seen in this model will be a huge step in engineering.<\/p>\n
It states the Outlander is a “new frontier” as itis not a “mere adaptation” of an existing Internal Combustion Engine(ICE)\u00a0 nor a dedicated Plug-in Hybrid technology as seen in many EVs.<\/p>\n
In fact, the new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) will share its architecture with the soon-to-be-introduced New Outlander\u2019s ICE versions and Mitsubishi state this will make it the “first mainstream car from a major manufacturer envisaged from the outset with built-in provisions for either ICE or PHEV power trains”.<\/p>\n
But what does this mean for the modern-day driver, more concerned about simple fuel costs than advanced mathematics and cutting-edge materials?<\/p>\n
Well for starters it will mean that the car will be able to achieve the holy grail of EV design: Long distance travel and low emissions.<\/p>\n
It could change the preconceptions about SUVs and 4×4 as the designers believe this Outlander could travel over 800 km and keep carbon dioxide emissions lower than 50 g\/km – something that even the most economical city cars struggle to compete with.<\/p>\n
Mitsubishi believe the car will be available by the end of the year for commercial use, meaning that fleet managers can get it on a car leasing scheme with no problems.<\/p>\n
While families looking to take advantage of the fuel-saving technology could lease it from 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
