- The Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi (a subsidiary of the Nissan group) has just presented the sixth generation of its L200 pick-up (named Triton in certain markets) which remains one of the best selling model of the brand, as around 150,000 units are sold per year, or between 15% and 20% of its total sales depending on the year.
- Like most medium-tonnage pick-ups, the Mitsubishi L200 will be produced as previously in Thailand, a country which is the main producing center for this type of vehicle: the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Isuzu D Max are also produced in this country. Each year, Thailand produces more than a million medium-tonnage pickup trucks exported worldwide, compared to the United States which produces two million large-tonnage pickup trucks (such as the Ford F Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram pickup, GMC Sierra) to which are added 500,000 medium-tonnage pickups.
- The new Mitsubishi pick-up dimensions grows compared to its predecessor: + 5 centimeters in length (5.36 m), + 11 centimeters in width (1.93 m), + 4 centimeters in height (1.82 m).
- The new Mitsubishi L200 is powered by a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with a turbocharger. This engine will be available in three different powers: 150 hp, 184 hp and 204 hp. No battery electric version on the program nor a plug-in hybrid version. The L200 will be marketed in a rear-wheel drive version (rear-wheel drive) and an all-wheel drive version (four-wheel drive). Inovev forecasts 150,000 units per year of the new Mitsubishi L200.
