Mitsubishi L200 Leasing & Contract Hire
The fourth generation L200 went on sale in March 2006 and is a very different machine from the one it replaces. The dynamic exterior design alone sets it apart. Under the bonnet is Euro 4 2.5-litre common rail diesel capable of producing 134bhp and developing 313Nm at 2,000rpm. An optional ‘chip’ takes this up to 165bhp (or 176bhp on the long base Warrior and Animal). This engine is refined, smooth and has plenty of torque. Suspension is independent at the front with double wishbones, springs and dampers while the rear is fitted with a live axle, leaf springs and dampers. Steering is power assisted and the brakes are ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear. ABS is fitted as standard across the range.
Depending on the trim level, the four-wheel drive system is either the basic Easy Shift or Super Select (high spec), but both provide a low range of gears for off-road. The latter includes a centre viscous coupling as well as a traction control system.
Four body configurations are on offer — Single Cab, Club Cab, Double Cab and Double Cab Long Base. Load lengths are 2,220mm, 1,805mm, 1,325mm and 1,500mm respectively. A single handle opens the tailgate for access. Payloads are all in excess of one tonne with the Single Cab offering the most at 1,120kg.
The embience of the cab interior is car-like and rear seat passengers in the Double Cab will be pleased with the extra legroom provided. There are four levels of specification to choose from, starting with 4Work and peaking with the all-inclusive Animal.
Service intervals are set at 12,500 miles and the warranty is three years/100,000 miles.
