Mitsubishi has named the first wave of dealers for the brand’s return to the market, with the new L200 Series 7 on course to reach showrooms from May 2026.

The company says it has now appointed 33 sales sites as part of the first phase of its planned 60-strong dealer network, with a second wave of appointments due to follow soon.

Many of the newly confirmed sites are existing or long-established Mitsubishi dealers, including Humphries & Parks in Maidstone, Adam Purves in Galashiels, Fields of Bromsgrove, Celtic Mitsubishi in Swansea, JT Hughes in Shrewsbury and Tweedmouth in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Mitsubishi says other appointments include businesses that are new to the franchise, although some already have links to brands within the wider International Motors portfolio, which includes GWM, Isuzu and Subaru.

Mitsubishi names L200 dealers

Michael Deans, managing director at Tweedmouth Service Station Ltd, said: “The all-new Mitsubishi L200 and Outlander models look and drive fantastically well, as you would expect, and we can’t wait to get them to the dealership to show them off to our loyal Mitsubishi customers.

“As a Mitsubishi dealer for now 44 years, we have lived and breathed the Mitsubishi franchise since 1982, and as a family business, we have always felt proud to represent the brand. We look forward to a new chapter and to a great future once again.”

Sharon Townsend, head of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: “We are pleased to welcome back so many familiar dealers as authorised sales points. The experience, enthusiasm and knowledge they bring to the network and our customers are vitally important, and it will be wonderful to see new Mitsubishi vehicles back in their dealerships.

“We are also pleased to welcome some new partners to the franchise. The news around Mitsubishi vehicle sales has generated considerable interest from customers and dealers alike, and we look forward to completing our new dealer sales network in the coming weeks.”

Mitsubishi currently has 105 aftersales sites operating in the UK, and says the new sales network is on track to reach its 60-site target by the time the first new models arrive.
