MITSUBISHI Motors has launched the new model L200
Double Cab pick up truck in Ireland.
The latest model has 178 BHP and 400 Nm of torque,
with a longer bed and greater load capacity. The standard equipment includes
factory Bluetooth, cruise control, rear privacy glass, curtain and side
airbags, automatic air conditioning and traction control.
A key feature of the new L200 is the extension of the
rear bed by 18cm in overall length, with no reduction in passenger cabin space.
The cargo area is also higher and squarer at the rear, increasing carrying
volume – it now has a 2,700kg towing capacity.
The new L200 also benefits from a more powerful engine
with 178 BHP, making it the most powerful vehicle in the pick-up segment.
Prices for the new L200 start at
?¬32,742, including
VAT and VRT.
At the heart of the L200’s strength lies Mitsubishi’s
4-cylinder 2.5 litre common rail intercooled, turbocharged diesel engine giving
31 per cent more brake horsepower and 27 per cent more torque than the outgoing
model.
The L200’s emissions have been lowered while fuel
economy has been improved, which helps return a positively frugal fuel
consumption.
The L200 is built to work. It has a rear bed measuring
1,505mm in length, a towing capacity of 2,700kg and a payload of up to 1,045kg.
It is also one of the safest vehicles on the roads, a
position achieved through a comprehensive range of features, which are standard
on all models. This includes: ABS with EBD, electronic traction and stability
control with brake assist, Super Select 4 wheel drive system and driver,
passenger, curtain and side airbags.
