Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel is the vehicle for all Seasons

When the going gets tough, TV vet Julian Norton knows his #mitsubishi #outlander diesel will get him through it.

The 43-year-old is based in Thirsk, near the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors – at James Herriot’s former practice no less. And just like the world-famous literary vet, he faces challenges reaching his patients as well as dealing with them.

Julian was the main focus of The Yorkshire Vet – a six-part Channel 5 series last autumn that followed him and his trusty #outlander on his visits. ‘Based in rural North Yorkshire, it’s important we’re able to get out and about in all weathers, all conditions and all types of road surface. It’s often slippy, even if not always snowy, so it’s really useful to have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and I know my #outlander will cope,’ he said. ‘It’s a lovely vehicle to drive and it gives you a lot more confidence when you’re heading into fields, for example – and we often have to head into fields!’

The #outlander is just as capable reversing up tricky narrow hillside country lanes – for example, to allow oncoming vehicles to pass by – as it is being steered through a ford.

The new diesel model is Mitsubishi’s safest and most environmentally-friendly version. Among the many enhancements, 40 noise, vibration and harshness improvements have been introduced, and it boasts new styling, too. Ride and handling are even better and there’s increased efficiency, while the cabin interior has improved comfort and safety.

And these are all winners as far as Julian is concerned. ‘The #outlander looks really great. It’s very stylish, and as well as that, it actually feels like a car because it’s not as enormous as some of the equivalent vehicles on the market. It handles really nicely and there’s plenty of space – there’s a lovely big boot, which we need for all our medicines and equipment and calving jacks and so on and so forth, but it’s not ridiculously big that it makes it hard to fit into parking spaces or get down my drive at home.’

Away from the surgery, Julian is very much a man of action. Until recently, he was – with friend and Olympic oarsman Roger Brown – the world record-holder for tandem indoor rowing over a 24-hour period. Nowadays when he’s not working, Julian takes part in triathlons and Ironman challenges, and goes biking and ski mountaineering – he also represented Great Britain in the Half-Iron Distance Triathlon European championships last year and in 2014.

‘Again, the Outlander’s great for all that,’ said Julian, ‘because when I’ve not got my veterinary stuff in the boot I can stick loads of kit in, and one of my sons is a very keen triathlete, so we can stick his bike in the back and head off. It’s really good for that.’

The #outlander diesel – truly a vehicle for all seasons and all reasons.
