When it comes to 4x4, Mitsubishi is the unrivalled leader in the field - in fact in any field.
And whether you want interior luxury or versatility, off-road pulling power or an effective crossover for the urban jungle, the full range is on offer at Mitsubishi’s dealer of the year - Devonshire Motors.
The multi-award winning Barnstaple-based Mitsubishi dealership knows the conditions its West Country customers have to deal with, and can provide the ideal vehicle to meet any challenge.
When the going gets really tough it’s time to call on the rugged L200, the market leading, go-anywhere pick-up – with the all-new, updated version due at the Braunton Road showroom this summer.
While featuring improvements as a work vehicle, it has been developed as ‘the ultimate sport utility truck’ and to provide an interior space with comfort levels on a par with a passenger model.
Nathan Tomlinson, Dealer Principal at Devonshire Motors, said: ‘We’re extremely excited about the all-new L200 and know it will go down well here, because it’s perfect for north Devon. The L200 was already an iconic pick-up but the bar has been raised considerably with the updated version. The flip side to a new model release of course is the ability to give really excellent value for money on the existing model,and although the 2 versions are planned to run side by side for 12 months we are able to offer some really attractive deals to anyone looking to change right now.’
Mitsubishi has sold more than 130,000 L200s in the UK since the pick-up’s launch in 1987 – accounting for 20 per cent of the overall pick-up market – and 1.3 million worldwide. The L200 range comes with the longest warranty of any pick-up in the UK – five years or 125,000 miles. It is also available with a three-year fixed-price service plan at and a range of finance options designed to provide affordable flexibility.
Also at the pinnacle of 4x4 performance is the Shogun, combining true off-road capability and an effortless 3,500kg towing capacity with interior luxury and top end saloon-like style and specification.
Though it is more than three decades since the Shogun redefined the 4x4 motoring experience, continuous evolution has kept the model at the top of its game, with the latest including Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD system providing four driving modes, active stability and traction controls, and a clean, economical 3.2L direct injection diesel engine.
For those looking for versatility across the rural and urban range, both the Outlander and ASX are capable crossover family vehicles, each with on-demand 4WD when needed.
The Outlander combines room for all the family – some variants offer 7 seats – with a sure-footed ability to leave the beaten track when the mood strikes. Meanwhile, the arrival of the all-new Outlander Plug-in Electric Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV) last year has generated huge levels of public interest driven by the vehicle’s outstanding fuel consumption (148mpg) and low emission credentials (44g/km).
Rounding out the 4x4 range the ASX provides everything a driver could want in an urban crossover. Strong, capable and spacious it is also ready to take on the city streets.
Standing for ‘Active Sports Crossover’, the ASX lives up to its name and bridges the gap between Mitsubishi’s refined passenger cars and its legendary off-roaders. Marketed under the ‘Adventure Advanced’ banner it combines rugged SUV practicality with a sleek compact design. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi 4x4s are going from strength to strength, with the latest Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) June sales figures showing the iconic Shogun up 425%, low-emission diesel Outlander up 110%, the ASX up 92% and the L200 up by 24%.
