2015 Mitsubishi L200 pick-up revealed

Last November the Mitsubishi Triton was launched in Thailand, the country where it's built. Now this all-new pick-up is coming to Europe, renamed L200.

Measuring 5,285 mm (17’ 4”) long, there are plenty of visual similarities to the old model. Tauter surfacing and a prominent swage line help to distinguish the updated styling, though.

Mitsubishi claims that the L200 should offer car-like comfort. A key focus was reducing cabin noise and vibration levels, plus the suspension has been tuned to deliver decent ride quality.

The engine line-up consists solely of a turbocharged 2.4 litre diesel unit with stop-start. However, customers will get to choose from a couple of versions. One produces 151 bhp (113 kW / 154 PS) and 380 Nm (280 lb/ft) of torque, while the other boasts 178 bhp (133 kW / 181 PS) and 430 Nm (317 lb/ft).

Both can be specified with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic. Furthermore, the Super Select 4WD-II part-time four-wheel drive system is available.

UK prices for the 2015 L200 have yet to be announced.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
