Mitsubishi Motors UK dealer network is open for business

The Mitsubishi Motors UK dealer network is open for business. It says that 94 per cent of its showrooms are open – that’s 96 dealer outlets. Six dealer showrooms are forced to remain shut due to local restrictions in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Mitsubishi Motors UK has three sales dealerships and a further one aftersales dealer (service and parts) in their network in Northern Ireland.

However, all their 112 service and parts points across including in Northern Ireland are open and dealing with customers day-to-day and they offer a variety of virtual services as well as offering collection and delivery options.

In addition to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s been an even tough year for Mitsubishi dealers across Europe with the shock announcement in late July that MMC is freezing the introduction of new models into Europe with immediate effect.

Importers will continue to sell the cars currently offered until such a time that they no longer comply with European regulations. This means that there will be no launch of the new Eclipse Cross plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and the next-generation Outlander PHEV will not be introduced either. It appears that dealerships will have supplies of current model ranges until they are discontinued gradually. A parts and aftersales network is expected to continue longer-term.

There are 18 sales dealerships and a further 5 aftersales dealers (service and parts) in the Mitsubishi Motors dealer network in the Republic.
