The Evolving “Sport Utility Truck”

Developer’s message

Koichi Namiki

Since being launched in 1978, Mitsubishi pickups have been widely appreciated by customers all

over the world. The new 5th generation L200 will inherit the DNA of its predecessors and further

advance its concept.

Recently the usage of pickup trucks has been expanding and customers’ preferences have been

diversifying. It’s no exaggeration to say that these trends were pioneered by the L200.

From the previous generation, we initiated the concept of a “Sport Utility Truck (SUT)” that is

suitable for private and family use in addition to commercial use, its prime duty. The goal with the

new L200 is to evolve this original Mitsubishi concept and provide the “Ultimate Sport Utility Truck”

that gives customers even greater driving pleasure and pride of ownership.

Its key features are:

- An innovative design reminiscent of a lean, athletic body with no excess bulk.

- High performance, quietness and better fuel efciency provided by a new all-aluminum “MIVEC”

diesel engine incorporating state-of-the-art technologies.

- Driving ease unlikely for a large body size, whether driving on highways or narrow streets, thanks

to the well thought-out chassis and suspension design.

- A surprisingly comfortable cabin like a passenger car’s with an enlarged interior space, ride

comfort, quietness, dual zone air conditioner and more.

- Improved reliability and durability, demonstrated especially in harsh environments, due to

optimized body structures based on Mitsubishi’s wealth of experience in road conditions all over the

world.

- High safety performance that protects all passengers, provided by the high-rigidity RISE body and

ASTC vehicle stability system.

We are condent the new L200 will satisfy not only pickup lovers, but also sedan and SUV users.

I would be thankful if you would make the effort to communicate the charm of the new L200 to as

many customers as possible.

Market trends for mid-class pickup trucks

Pickup truck demand has only slightly increased over the years and developing countries

are forecasted to account for 60% (currently 50%) of the pickup truck market by 2016.

The market share for the L200 is around 10%. Competitors are expected to make full

model changes in the highly active market.

L200

History of L200 model

In recent years, there has been considerable diversication in what customers look

for in pickup trucks. Starting from the 4th-generation, the L200 has embodied the

Sport Utility Truck concept, which combines the comfort of a passenger car with the

functionality and reliability of a pickup to meet consumers’ diversifying needs. Use

of the distinctive “J-line” to connect the double cab and cargo bed contributes to a

generously roomy interior space and agile driving performance. While maintaining

the concept of the previous model, the all-new 5th-generation L200 has evolved to

become a more rened, stylish pickup truck.

Product characteristics

L200

Horizontal line

Upward-sloping line

The Double Cab variant, which does not often carry a heavy load, retains

the distinctive “J-line” separating the cab and cargo bed. It looks stylish from

the side and features a horizontal line along the cargo bed.

The tail of the cargo bed in the Club Cab variants has been lifted so that its

line becomes neatly horizontal when loaded.

The distinctive and innovative face

— the new look of Mitsubishi Motors

SUVs — conveys solid strength and

enhances the sense of wideness

with the bumper styled to express its

protective function.

Front view

Exterior

Styling is sportier and more dynamic.

Less space between the cabin and

bed integrates their forms more

clearly. The L200’s J-line is further

refined to give the Double Cab a

unied look.

Side view

The new design more stylishly fuses

the cabin and bed. The side glass

sweeps further upward. Reduced

space between the cabin and bed

creates a greater sense of integrity,

further enhanced by the side

character line.

Point

Styled like a sleek, muscular athlete with a sophisticated sporty

exterior, the L200 is ideal for both work and leisure.

Excellent design

Product characteristics

L200

The sporty design realizes class-leading

aerodynamic performance.

The J-line contributes to spaciousness

and maneuverability

The Double Cab’s J-line, adopted from

its predecessor, contributes to a short

wheelbase for great maneuverability and

ample interior space with class-leading

interior length. The neat, clean line fuses

attractively with the vehicle’s styling.

Point The excellent design and high quality of the following exterior

features bring out the personality of the new L200.

Headlamps

Radiator grille

Rear combination lampsRear step bumper

Halogen

The headlamps feature a new design unlike those of

pickup trucks in the past. Their styling suggests powerful,

penetrating light beams.

The grille appears submerged under the front hood, creating

a more three-dimensional front face with a strong presence.

Chrome type: Chrome vertical crossbars create a sense of unity with the

headlamps.

Black type: Black vertical crossbars contribute to a look of strength.

The rear combination lamps wrap around the sides of the

cargo bed for a more three-dimensional look and a high-

quality impression not expected from a truck.

This sturdy, robust bumper provides steps on the sides for

easier entering and exiting of the cargo bed.

Inner lenses have been adopted in the turn lamps and

position lamps, enhancing the sense of quality.
