Mitsubishi L200 Test Drive Review - BusinessCar

Mitsubishi claims interior space in the double cab version has increased. Mitsubishi has replaced the old 2. 5-litre diesel engine with a new common-rail, 2. 4-litre unit offering outputs of 151hp in the entry-level 4Life and 178hp in the Titan, Warrior and Barbarian trims. The new L200's cargo bed is 1470mm long and 1470mm wide. It's also 475mm deep - a 15mm increase on the previous generation. The double cab Series 5's payload capacity of 1045kg also falls short of some of its competitors. However, the L200's combined carrying and towing capacity of 4090kg outshines the D-Max (4013kg), the Hilux (3860kg) and the Amarok (3857kg). The L200 Series 5 comes with two 4WD systems. The entry-level 4Life gets Easy Select offering high and low ratio settings for off-road terrain. It has to be switched to 2WD on-road, where power is directed to the rear wheels. The Titan, Warrior and Barbarian specifications get the more sophisticated Super Select system that allows on-road driving in both 2WD and 4WD modes. Source: www.businesscar.co.uk
