MITSUBISHI has added the new special edition three-door Pinin Vivo II to its four-wheel drive stable.

The Vivo II is available with manual or automatic transmission options.

The new model went on sale on Tuesday and has a 1.8 ECI-MULTI engine, full-time four-wheel drive transmission and designer good looks.

The latest edition to the Mitsubishi family can also boast many added extras and all for £13,995 or £14,995 with the automatic gearbox.

An electric glass sunroof, electric front windows and electric heated door mirrors, along with the inclusion of a CD player and air conditioning, show that little has been left out of the package worth £2,500.

ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution complements the full-time four-wheel drive and the 16-valve engine produces a maximum speed of 96 mph, while maintaining fuel consumption figures of 34 mpg in extra urban mode.

The body work on the Pinin Vivo II includes a roof spoiler and smart spare wheel cover at the back, matched with fog lights at the front to enhance its sporty lines.

Four two-tone colour choices are available with carnival red, laputa blue, myrtle Green or ebony charcoal sitting above metallic rhodium silver.

As with all members of the Shogun Pinin family, practicality has not been forgotten. The Vivo II uses a full-time 4WD system which eliminates the need to shift between two and four-wheel drive, delivering traction under all driving conditions.
