The Mitsubishi L200 gets a facelift for 2019

Mitsubishi has unveiled an updated version of its L200. The pick-up – which is named Triton in some markets – benefits from several cosmetic and technical enhancements.

A restyled front end that follows the brand’s latest ‘Dynamic Shield’ design language is the most obvious alteration. The wheel arches are now more prominent and slightly squared off, plus the rear light clusters are noticeably different too.

Chassis upgrades include improved four-wheel drive systems. Customers will have a choice of either three-mode Easy Select 4WD or four-mode Super Select 4WD-II. As well as Hill Descent Control, both options also feature a new Off-road Mode that controls power delivery and braking via Gravel, Mud/Snow, Sand and Rock settings.

In addition, the rear dampers are stronger and the front brakes are larger. A better six-speed automatic transmission instead of the previous five-speed gearbox completes the mechanical changes.

Sales of the revised L200 begin this month in Thailand, where manufacturing takes place. As European launches won’t happen until the end of summer 2019, final UK specifications and prices have yet to be confirmed.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
