• Mitsubishi has introduced a new 2.5-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine for its L200 pickup.
The latest power unit is fitted with what Mitsubishi describes as "roller rocker arms", which are said to reduce friction and increase the engine's torque band in the low-to mid-revs range.
Mitsubishi says it has also improved the engine's coolant flow and changed the material of the timing belt.
Two-wheel-drive versions of the L200 are now fitted with an improved braking system, which features a large master cylinder and servo booster, while the four-wheel-drive L200 pickup is given a reduced transfer gear ratio for improved performance.
