DISTRIBUTOR of Mitsubishi Motors in Nigeria, CFAO Motors, has unveiled the all-new Mitsubishi L200 into the Nigerian market. According to the firm, the Mitsubishi is now in its fifth generation, and the new model adds car-like sophistication, driving dynamics and running costs to its predecessor’s long list of standard kit and attractive prices.

With the new engine, the one-ton pickup delivers quietness and ride comfort on a par with a passenger car, optimization of the suspension, the strategic placement of sound insulation, absorption and vibration damping materials.

Inside, you get a slickly designed and robustly constructed cabin that comfortably takes five adults. And with dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment, lane-departure warning and powered, leather seats, it’s as cosseting as a posh SUV.

Stick to the tarmac and one will discover quick, direct steering, limited body roll and a composed ride. And with claimed economy of 43.0mpg and CO2 emissions of 169g/km, the Mitsubishi is easy on the bottom line, too, while a combined carrying and towing capacity of 4.1 tonnes is the best for any pick-up.

The L200 is available in single cab and double cab variants, with a three-engine line up. A new 2.4-liter MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing electronic control system) turbo diesel which provides environmental and motive performance among the best in its class joins improved versions of the well-proven 2.5-liter turbo diesel and 2.4-liter petrol engines.

The L200 accommodates the varying needs and requirements of consumers, everything from commercial to private use. The Managing Director of CFAO Motors, Thomas Pelletier, said, the L200 is one of Mitsubishi’s long-time global best-sellers. Mitsubishi Motors, he said, has been producing pickups for 36 years since 1978, selling over four million units worldwide.

The previous L200 was launched in August of 2005 and has sold a total of 1,260,000 units worldwide as of last September. The L200 is one of the most important products in the Mitsubishi Line up, he said.

CFAO Motors General Manager, Navin Changer said the launch of the new L200 is part of CFAO Motors commitment to providing customers with a sales and service experience of international standard, saying CFAO Motors is happy to introduce the all new L200 to the Nigerian market. Changer said CFAO as a group has been operational in Nigeria since 1902 and is one of the leading automotive distributors in the country. “Listed on the Paris Stock exchange, CFAO group has operations in 33 countries predominantly in Africa.

With its diversified geographic and social profile, the group is particularly well-equipped to serve the African market, allowing it to enjoy lasting, sustained growth. The all new L200 is now available to the Nigerian customers with 2.4L petrol and 2.5L diesel engine.
