New Mitsubishi L200 on sale here

The sixth generation of the Mitsubishi L200 is now available in Ireland at a starting price of €35,000 for the entry Business grade, writes Brian Byrne.

With a new engine, a range of new driver assist technologies, and a completely new styling that gives a very edgy presence, the Irish distributors are aiming to return the model to the top three position in Irish pickups sales.

The new 2.2 diesel has the same 150hp power as the older 2.4, and complies with the very latest EU emissions regulations under WLTP. The Superselect AWD offers four settings to deal with different terrains, and an optional electromagnetic rear differential lock is available on all grades in the Irish market.

At the international launch of the new pickup in the south of Spain, we heard that the best selling L200 is expected to be the Intense grade, priced at €37,850 for the manual and €39,950 for the version with the new 6-speed automatic.

A new Instyle grade tops the range, and includes leather seat trim and other extras at €41,935.

The new L200 is 40mm higher than the outgoing model which has been on sale in Ireland since 2016. Among the changes are higher headlamps, designed in conjunction with the higher driving position to offer better night visibility in all terrains as well as improved protection for the lights themselves.

Inside, there's a more integrated setup in terms of controls and instruments, the latter with more colourful graphics. There's an extensive use of soft-touch materials, and the seats have larger side bolsters. There's more storage than on the fifth-generation L200, and four USB sockets are standard.

Opel’s Vivaro goes electric

Opel continues its electrification offensive with the Vivaro van to also be offered in a pure battery electric version as of 2020, writes Trish Whelan . The Vivaro-e extends Opel’s range of particularly efficient light commercial vehicles. Customers can then choose between two sizes of battery, depending on their needs: a 50kWh battery for a range of up to 200kms or a 75kWh battery for up to 300km (according to WLTP). With emission-free deliveries becoming increasingly important in urban areas, the demand for purely electric light commercial vehicles will increase accordingly.   The Vivaro-e is based on the group’s variable MP2 platform which enables the use of conventional as well as electrified powertrains. The Opel Vivaro No. 3 is available in three lengths instead of two (4.60 metres, 4.95m and 5.30m); has a 200kg higher payload of up to 1,400kgs and can pull half a ton more (trailer load up to 2,500kg). Most versions of the new Vivaro are also o...

Alcosense Lite 2 breathalyser for ‘morning after’

Gambar
Christmas is the season of office parties and catching up and celebrating with friends and family. However, over-indulging the night before can mean it is easy to have alcohol in your system the next morning. Over 1,000 arrests for drink driving were made over the Christmas period last year and the new laws which came into effect over a year ago mean that first-time drink-driving offenders will be automatically banned from driving for three months if caught with between 50 - 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, equivalent to 0.22 - 0.35 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath. Previously, drivers caught at these levels received three penalty points and a fine … but no driving ban. Now you can test yourself the next morning with the AlcoSense Lite 2 digital personal breathalyser. Designed in the UK by racing driver and businessman Hunter Abbott, it gives you clear results in seconds. All you need for a reading is to turn the unit on, wait for ...
