World Top 10 September 2013

"I'm Back, Baby!" - says the Outlander PHEV

Models - Mitsu Outlander is back

Profiting from a full month sales, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to recover and is now looking to get the #5 Zoe.

In the remaining ranking, the C-Max Energi is tied in #7 with the Renault Kangoo ZE, both have 4.422 units, while the #10 Ford Fusion Energi is closing in to the #9 Mitsu I-Miev. 

Not present in this ranking, but worth noticing, the Volvo V60 Plug-In achieved a brilliant #6 position in September, mostly thanks to their success in the Netherlands.
