Variable valve timing, common-rail injection and aluminum construction, all assist to give this unit an edge mainly on performance and competence grounds.<\/p>\n<p>The engine arrives in two states of tune along with the entry-level 4Life derivatives receiving a 151bhp version along with 380Nm of torque but all other models getting almost 178bhp and 430Nm. Mitsubishi has greatly managed to meet up the first stage of Euro 6 emissions regulations without any resorting to Ad Blue, keeping running costs down for clients. Performance is vigorous in the higher-powered engine chiefly with a 0-62mph time of 10.4s whilst the lower powered option has a 12.2s sprint time that is closer to the standard for the class.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MPG_and_Running_Costs\"><\/span>MPG and Running Costs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Mitsubishi L200 obtains an advanced common-rail turbo diesel engine along with an aluminum cylinder block, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MIVEC\"><strong>MIVEC<\/strong><\/a> variable valve-timing and lots of other nice weight-saving design features. It&#8217;s an extraordinarily high-tech unit to discover in a\u00a0pick-up truck\u00a0and it provides some very muscular fuel economy figures. The entrance-level 4Life version is the real fuel economy star of the range, along with a 40.9mpg shared economy figure in Euro 6 trim. However the higher spec derivatives aren&#8217;t really far behind with 39.8mpg offered one choose the manual gearbox. Simply go for the 5-speed auto and the combined cycle performance lowers down to 37.7mpg but that&#8217;s still healthier than many rivals can gather, even in their greenest manual guise. The emissions of CO2 range from 180g\/km in the 4Life to 196g\/km in all of the auto models.<\/p>\n<p>The L200 is particularly built to be tough and to bring minimum repair and maintenance costs. To emphasize its faith in its product,\u00a0Mitsubishi proposes a 5-year\/62,000-mile warranty mainly with 12 years of anti-corrosion cover. Service intervals though are set at a slightly frequent 12,500 miles or 12 months, any comes soonest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Mitsubishi L200 comes up with lots of specifications, practical cabin inside and powerful engines &nbsp; There are huge number of hard, stylish and often extravagantly equipped rivals for the clever Mitsubishi L200 of course, counting the\u00a0Ford Ranger, Fiat Fullback,\u00a0Nissan Navara, Isuzu D-Max\u00a0and\u00a0Volkswagen Amarok.
