The new
Mitsubishi L200 2024 has been presented. The sixth generation of the Mitsubishi
pick-up is already a reality. A model that makes its debut far from Europe
under the name Triton and that debuts a long list of innovations that go far
beyond a simple change in exterior design.
After a
remarkable amount of spy photos and even official previews, we can say that the
wait is over. The new Mitsubishi L200 has been presented in society. The
Mitsubishi pick-up launches a new generation loaded with novelties. A
generational change that makes its debut far from European borders under the
trade name Triton. It is the name by which the L200 is known outside of Europe.
It
arrived at dealerships in 1978 and after almost half a century of history,
Mitsubishi has produced approximately 5.6 million units of its medium-sized
pick-up. It is marketed globally in 150 countries. The sixth generation of the
L200 bursts onto the scene at a key moment for the automotive industry in the
main markets.
The
design of the new Mitsubishi L200 2024
Based
on the "Power of Adventure" concept, the brand highlights that all
the elements and components of the L200 (or Triton) have been completely
reinvented, from the interior and exterior design to the chassis and engine.
Just take a quick look at the images that illustrate this article to discover
how it has changed compared to the model that we can still find in dealerships.
In addition, it was anticipated through the Mitsubishi XRT Concept.
It will
be available in Double Cabin, Club Cabin, and Single Cabin variants. It has been
developed following the “Dynamic Shield” design philosophy. A concept is especially evident on the front. The grill and bumper help convey a more robust
and strong image. Mention must also be made of the new headlights and, more
specifically, the LED lights for daytime driving.
The
side view reveals the essence of this model. At the rear, the most relevant
elements are, without a doubt, the taillights in the shape of the letter T. As
for the customization options, different colors will be available for the
bodywork and, depending on the configured version, the chrome will have more or
less weight on the outside. We cannot ignore the orange color Yamabuki Orange.
The
interior and technology of the new Mitsubishi L200 2024
Leaving
the exterior aside, if we go inside the new L200 we will quickly be enveloped
by a very characteristic atmosphere. It is a more digital and connected
vehicle. However, not everything has been bet on digitalization as it happens
with other competing models.
The
instrument panel is not completely digital as it has analog dials that are
combined with a large multi-information screen. The "nerve center" of
the cabin is a new touch screen. A key component to drive the infotainment
system.
The
list of driving assistance systems is very extensive. The new L200 is equipped,
among other technologies, with adaptive cruise control, a forward collision
mitigation system, blind-spot warning with lane change assist, and rear
cross-traffic alert.
The
diesel engines of the new Mitsubishi L200 2024
Regarding
the mechanical section, the new L200 bets everything on diesel and, for now,
avoids electrification. The "heart" of the new range is a
turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It is available in three power
levels. On the access step, we find the model with 150 hp and 330 Nm of maximum
torque. As an intermediate option is the motorization of 184 CV and 430 Nm. And
as a more performance alternative, crowning the offer, is the 204 CV and 470 Nm
model respectively.
All
engines can be mated to either a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission.
Both with six speeds and always with 4x4 traction. There are two four-wheel
drive systems, Super Select 4WD-II, and Easy Select 4WD. The first of them
features a central limited-slip differential that sends 40% of the power to the
front axle and the remaining 60% to the rear. This system has 2H, 4H, 4HLc, and
4LLc operating modes. In addition, a driving mode selector allows you to choose
between Normal, Eco, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand, and Rock profiles.
Release
date and prices of the new Mitsubishi L200 2024
When
will it hit the market? Mitsubishi has confirmed that the new generation of the
L200 is already on sale in Thailand, one of its main markets. It will soon be
launched commercially in other countries in Southeast Asia and Oceania. In
Japan, it will go on sale in 2024. At the moment there are no details about when
it will arrive in Europe. The prices are, for the moment, unknown.
