Mitsubishi L200 DI-D Warrior review - Autocar
Underneath, the L200's chassis has been stiffened with new bracing and the use of more high-strength steels, while longer rear leaf springs and retuned front suspension work to improve the handling and ride. Mitsubishi foresees a future where emissions-based taxation comes into effect for pick-ups, so the company has worked hard to ensure the new all-aluminium 2. 4-litre turbodiesel in the L200 is as clean as possible. Features include variable valve timing and a variable-geometry turbocharger, and the net result is 173g/km of CO2 in this specification. the next-best rival, the Isuzu D-Max, emits a far higher 192g/km of CO2. . Consumption has also dropped to an impressive average of 42. 8mpg - 4. 1mpg better than the D-Max - while power and torque has climbed slightly compared to the engine found... A hefty slug of low-down torque, the light back axle leading to easy wheelspin in rear-drive mode, and the high-riding, mud-pluggin’ feel are all present and correct. What’ll come as very good news to anyone looking to actually drive it somewhere, however, is that the Mitsubishi’s talents extend far beyond it simply being a bit of rough, rugged short-lived fun.
