Reading time 4 Min.

The anticipation was great, and in July of this year Mitsubishi lifted the veil: there it was, the L200, a pick-up that, in its sixth round, delighted us both technically and visually. With a rejuvenated exterior and a revised interior, the car presents itself confidently. The highlight lies in its structure – a newly designed one leadframe, which has increased in robustness and sophistication. It is a mixture of tradition and modernity that the new L200 exudes. Available in various body styles such as Double Cab, Club Cab and the Single cabin, he says blatantly Torsional stiffness from plus 60 percent on. He manages it high-strength steel, keeping the body lighter than its predecessor.

We take a look at the loading area and find it has been lowered by 45 mm to 820 mm, which makes handling loads child's play. A framed step integrated into the bumper corner underlines the ease of use and skilfully sets accents in the look. According to Mitsubishi, the vehicle is now more spacious than its predecessor. Mitsubishi's latest addition also boasts all-wheel drive systems Super Select 4WD II and Easy Select 4WD on. While that Super Select 4WD II with one Center differential, which enables a power distribution of 40/60 between the front and rear axles, it also has a wide variety of modes for almost every imaginable driving situation, be it 2H (RWD), 4H (4×4), 4HLc (4×4 with locked center differential) or 4LLc (low-range with locked center differential).

seven different driving modes

And seven different driving modes provide that certain extra something: from Normal and Eco towards sophisticated Off-road variants like mud or rock. A completely revised one Suspension, equipped with a front Double wishbone axle and a lighter leaf suspension at the rear, the L200 sits firmly on the road. And for those who love him with that Super Select 4WD II want to join the active one Yaw control (Active Yaw Control, AYC), which optimizes driving dynamics through light internal braking when turning. Completed with assistance programs for uphill and downhill rides, nothing stands in the way of off-road adventures.
