The L200 model has a reputation of an all-conquering, ultimate workhorse and over the years it has picked up some other credentials too
What is it?
It’s the fifth generation of a vehicle which has been appreciated as a go-anywhere vehicle. Powered by petrol and diesel engines, it has been the best-selling model and a favourite of a majority for years until last year when the Japanese auto manufacturer introduced the Outlander PHEV.
What about the powertrain?
The Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian is powered by a 2.4-litre DI-D diesel engine which generates 178bhp, backed by a five-speed automatic gearbox.
It takes 11.8 seconds for the L200 to reach 62mph from standstill, and it tops out at 109mph. The combined fuel economy is 39.2mpg and the carbon emissions of 189g/km.
