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.
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 more torque than the outgoing model. The 2477cc unit delivers
improved all-round performance with a top speed of 179kph, increased power to
178bhp and improved torque from 314Nm to 400Nm. Overall the revised engine is
cleaner, more powerful and more economical while also achieving Euro 5 emission
levels.
