Mitsubishi's muscular new pick-up arrives in town - The Cornishman
IT HAS been years in the making but Mitsubishi's all-new L200 pick-up is on its way to Hawkins Motor Group in Penryn, having picked up a top award en route. The L200 Series 5 received its European premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in February this year and drew widespread praise with its much larger loading area, more muscular bodywork and safety improvements such as Trailer Assist and seven airbags. In July, the all-new L200 was named Best Pick-Up 2015 by judges at Auto Express – the UK's top automobile weekly. And it received widespread praise from the motoring press as well last month, at its UK launch held at the MIRA testing ground in Nuneaton. The L200 Series 5, which has four trims, is an entirely new vehicle from the ground up, with significant improvements in 330 areas. In all key areas the new L200 Series 5 is best-in-class. It is also the only pick-up that can be driven permanently in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive on tarmac and off road. Powered by the new 2. 4-litre MIVEC turbo-diesel engine, it is available with 151 bhp or 178 bhp in a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual. Source: www.cornishman.co.uk
