SPONSORED: The brand new Mitsubishi L200 arrives at Seafield Motors, Inverness

The Series 6 version of the Mitsubishi L200 pick-up, available from Seafield Motors in Inverness, features far-reaching changes.

The engine is a freshly developed 2.2-litre 150bhp diesel unit, and the optional 6-speed auto gearbox is also new.

There are new drive modes for the four-wheel-drive drivetrain; gravel, snow, sand and rock settings have been added, each one varying how power is needed to optimise performance.

As ever, all L200 models are fitted with either ‘Super-Select’ 4WD (which delivers optimum traction and handling characteristics for any given surface), or ‘Easy-Select 4WD’ (which simplifies switching between drive modes for different road surfaces).

Improved driving experience

There’s only so much you can do to make a pick-up enjoyable to drive but Mitsubishi has made more effort in this regard as part of this update, conscious that any L200 is likely to spend the majority of its time on tarmac.

There’s re-developed suspension, plus there are shock absorbing body mounts which absorb vibrations and aim to provide a quieter, more comfortable cabin.

Getting from rest to 62mph occupies around 10.5s and, as before, the L200 can be driven in either 2WD or 4WD on tarmac or off road.

This vehicle can also tow up to 3.5 tonnes and, for a pick-up, there’s a reasonably tight turning circle too.

Visual changes

The visual changes made to this improved L200 model aren’t difficult to spot. The key update is a bolder, more aggressive front end that features a fresh version of Mitsubishi’s ‘Dynamic Shield’ grille.

Plus, there’s a higher bonnet line and beefier-looking lamps now located higher up. Newly sculpted body curves with contrasting sharp lines, extended wheel flares and bright accents add a bit more street side presence too.

The L200 pricing sits in the £22,000 to £38,000 bracket, which as expected, makes it very competitive.

Mitsubishi points out that because nothing’s been changed dimensionally over the previous model, popular load bay accessories you might have had in mind (a load bay cover for instance) will all still fit.

You might also want to specify the ‘Multi Around Monitor’, which generates a bird’s eye view image of the area around the vehicle when parking.

Seafield Motors have no doubt that the changes made to this L200 have freshened its showroom proposition. They can see why so many pick-up buyers choose this one, whether their need is to transport quadbikes and surfboards or hardcore and shovels.

As before, it’s tough, good looking and offers a wide range of choice but now, it’s that bit easier to live with too. All of which, more than ever, makes this Mitsubishi a vehicle that customers can’t ignore.

The brand new Mitsubishi L200 is now on the forecourt at Seafield Motors, Harbour Road, Inverness. Book your test drive online here.
