Japanese brand will return to the UK with cars imported by International Motors
Mitsubishi will return to the UK market next year, the brand has confirmed.
Its cars will be imported by International Motors, which also oversees UK sales of marques including Subaru, GWM, and Xpeng.
Customer deliveries will begin in Summer 2026, though the brand has yet to confirm what models it will bring to the UK.
Likely candidates include the Eclipse Cross – effectively a restyled Renault Scenic E-Tech – and the Outlander plug-in hybrid; the previous generation PHEV having been a big seller in the UK.
Frank Krol, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Europe, said: “Our upcoming models represent the very best of Mitsubishi Motors’ core technologies in performance, four-wheel drive, and much more.
“We look forward to a successful introduction in the UK – a market where our brand continues to have a deep emotional connection with loyal customers.”
Sharon Townsend, head of Mitsubishi UK, added that “we’ve continued to see enthusiasm for the brand” since its exit from the market four years ago, “which has strongly influenced this decision”.
The firm will establish new dealers to complement its existing network of some 100 aftersales garages across the UK.
