2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV sold out, more stock coming

Demand has exceeded supply for the first batch of Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrids – but more cars are on the way.

Orders for the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) have been placed on pause, as stock of the 2022 model is drained – however the carmaker says shipments of 2023 examples are on the way.

Mitsubishi Australia says its allocation of Model Year 2022 Outlander PHEVs – on sale since August 1 – has been “exhausted”, due to a mix of high demand and constricted supply due to parts shortages.

More stock is on the way, but on its website the carmaker warns these vehicles – which will be branded Model Year 2023, and are set to be detailed within weeks – “may have different specifications and/or pricing”.

A Mitsubishi Australia spokesperson said in a statement to Drive: “22MY [Model Year 2022] Outlander PHEV allocation has been exhausted, and there is a significant order bank, so the decision was made to put orders on hold for the time being.

“Since its August 1 market launch, there has been unprecedented demand for the vehicle, and that – coupled with the global semi-conductor shortage restricting supply of 22MY – has led to this decision.

“We are working closely with our head office in Japan on securing additional units for 23MY [Model Year 2023], of which we will have more information in the coming weeks,” the spokesperson said.

Mitsubishi has reported 3498 Outlander SUVs as sold (referring more to deliveries/registrations than orders taken) between August 1 and October 31 this year – but it’s unclear how many of these are plug-in hybrids.

In past years – when the previous-generation Outlander range was on sale, petrol and hybrid – the PHEV has accounted for approximately four per cent of total Mitsubishi Outlander sales.

Priced from $54,590 to $68,490 before on-road costs, the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV offers a choice of four model grades and five or seven seats, all powered by a 2.4-litre petrol engine and two electric motors capable of up to 84km of claimed electric driving range.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
