VAN LEASING LIVE!

Today Lorraine from Van Leasing Quotes tells us why the range-topping Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian offers one of the best van leasing/pickup leasing deals available today:

Since its release the Mitsubishi L200 has proved to be extremely popular for both commercial and non-commercial customers and it is now the biggest selling pickup in the UK. The Barbarian is the range-topping L200 model and it replaces the Animal version of the vehicle to provide even more performance, added features and commercial ability.

So if you’re looking for your next commercial vehicle could the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian be the perfect pickup / van lease for you?

Size Matters

I think it would be fair to say that Pickup vehicles are much of a muchness in terms of load ability and the Barbarian offers no better or no worse than most pickups on the market today. It has a 1 tonne payload and can easily carry a pallet on the rear deck. In terms of size and space in the cab, there is plenty of space for both the driver and passengers – especially in the doublecab version, which offers impressive spaciousness in the back as well as the front.

Creature Comforts

When sitting in the cab you won’t be in the least bit surprised to find out the Barbarian is the range-topping version of the L200. It has everything you would expect in a top of the range vehicle (and more) including satellite navigation, reversing camera, leather trim and electric windows, which include an electric rear window that gives access to the load bay directly from the cab. The seats with leather trim are extremely comfortable although the driving position would probably be better if the seat could adjust slightly lower than it does.

On the Road

The Barbarian, as the name suggests, is a rugged workhorse that offers plenty of power and ability. It comes with a 2.5 Litre turbo diesel engine, 5-speed gearbox, offers up 175 bhp and gets from 0-62 in 13 seconds flat. The diesel engine provides plenty of torque – just what you need when carrying heavy loads on the rear deck. The stability control also helps a lot when the Barbarian is full to the brim.

How well does the Barbarian Drive? Bare in mind this is a raw commercial vehicle at heart, so it’s by no means a refined and calm experience. It is however absolutely perfect for the commercial pickup driver who needs plenty of pulling power and performance on all terrains,

The Verdict

So, is the Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian the perfect van lease or van contract hire deal for you? Well, if it’s a pickup you’re looking for then you’ll struggle to find something better than the Barbarian. It offers great performance, plenty of added features, fantastic commercial ability and even a little bit of luxury in the cab. Ok so the Barbarian isn’t the most refined driving experience you’ll ever have but I’ve still to meet a pickup driver who’s looking for refinement rather than raw ability! Overall it really is a great van leasing deal.
