    Hey Everyone, Was just wondering if anyone had gone ahead and ordered the A250e? I know the AP is quite high but the proclaimed ‘250mpg’ is quite attractive no? Even if you got half of that then surely you would be saving money on fuel in the long run? Let me know what you guys think

    Take the manufactures figures with a pinch of salt, like Wigwam has stated unless you do 25  or so miles a day and can can charge up at home. We have a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV on the Motability scheme fortunately we meet all the criteria and are the ideal customer, we tow a caravan so a full EV was out of the question.

    At the time of the lease our PHEV AP was only £1699, if it had been £2999 as per last quarter 1, financially we would have better of with a diesel, the Mercedes A250e AP at £5000 + financially does not make sense, you would be far better of with the petrol version.

    If you chose to go down the PHEV the AP on the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is quite attractive, but it is what is is a heavy SUV, so don’t expect sportscar performance.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
