Mitsubishi L200 DOUBLE CAB DI-D

Sales of pickups in general have been buoyant in recent years, largely due to the fact that instead of incurring benefit-in-kind taxation based on their CO2 emissions they instead are taxed as commercial vehicles at a far more preferential rate. What's more, vehicles like the Mitsubishi L200 have become increasing sophisticated with features such as air conditioning, electric windows and CD players. Indeed, many canny company buyers quickly twigged that a well-specified double - or crew - cab could effectively replace a company car, have all the creature comforts and yet still incur minimal tax. The Chancellor is keen to close this loophole that may see a big surge in used stock on the market, so keep your ears open for the latest legislation. In the meantime, here's some background on Mitsubishi's market leader.
