Competition has been getting tougher to attract more and more car buyers for higher sales. Fifth Generation Mitsubishi L200 is now available in different auto markets around the world. The foremost edge this load carrier has over the competitors is its reasonable price. Double cabin pickups are now getting more popular due to their multiple uses of transporting load and also serve as the family vehicle if required. The major car makers have recently introduced their automobiles in this class but an experience of this Japanese brand is evident.
The ride is comfortable unlike workhorses that have been designed only for one purpose and handling is also car-like, so you do not get tired after driving it for hours. With so many competitors, the veterans need to come up with something distinguishing and with higher utility value to keep their supremacy intact. One engine with variant outputs has been fitted in all the vehicles of this series. Both manual and automatic gearboxes are there one with six-speed transmissions and automatic speed transmissions are one less than manual.
This single engine is 2.5-Litre turbo diesel produces 152 bhp and 178 bhp the later is quite inspiring with more power. Maximum torque it experiences is 2500rpm that helps it to reach 62 miles per hour speed in just above ten seconds. The manual gearbox is smoother to function, that is why it has been preferred over the other option. It is not a speed machine but it is not slow as well to irritate you. The seat of the driver can be adjusted electronically to a position of ease for managing it on a track. Four sides adjustment is quite handy. Leather upholstery is standard on the upper-level trims. Camera to assist you while reversing this bit longer vehicle is also a regular feature in Barbarian and Warrior models. It is good for parking and caravan attached to it.
The fuel efficiency of the engine is also striking among the lot. The exact figure claimed by Mitsubishi is 39.8 miles per gallon. Carbon emission has also been dropped reasonably to beat all the other vehicles in this class. Thus it has also met the set limits of European standards to minimize the taxation. Warranty of five years is quite appealing as service intervals are quite long twelve months or 12500 miles. These relaxations are to make the vehicle price seem cheaper than the rivals.
It carries over a tonne of weight that is enough for most of the buyers looking for a multipurpose vehicle. Turbo engines now usually come with a self cooling system that enhances performance to the next level. With a number of great features, it has also been declared as pick-up of the year. The affordability is an advantage that is quite hard to ignore for most the buyers and it is one of the many good reasons to purchase this vehicle. It is posing a good challenge to class leader double cab producer.
