Japanese pickup Mitsubishi L200 of the fourth generation, which lasted on the assembly line for 10 years, which is quite typical for cars of this class, left the Russian market in 2015, giving way to the next generation model. The fifth L200, like its predecessor, is also a well-knocked workhorse - however, like many other cars, it was touched by the so-called "glamorization". In this case, the term is explained simply: when you look at the "Japanese", you understand that in front of you is a pickup, ie. roughly speaking, agricultural machinery, and at the same time you think - what kind of agricultural machinery? This is the most natural a car with a modern and contemporary design! So that. Everything you need to know about the "glamorous" fifth generation L200 - in our review!
Design
In terms of design, the updated L200 is not badly complex. Outwardly, it certainly does not reach the conceptual Mitsubishi Triton presented a couple of years ago in Geneva, but those who primarily perceive it as a working tool rather than as an example of Japanese design skills will clearly not be offended. However, the model still turned out to be stylish, and this is what its "glamor" is: there are also Asian fashionable influxes on the sides, and rear bumper made of plastic (not very practical, but beautiful), and graceful round foglights, and head optics of the original form. It remains to add to this a chrome-plated radiator grille, large informative mirrors with "turn signals" and elegant alloy wheels. 
When you look at the photo of the fifth L200, you immediately realize that the global auto industry is no longer the same as before. If earlier pickups were perceived as a technique intended exclusively for utilitarian use and nothing else, now they actually go on a par with other, passenger cars, not just getting better at technically, but also trying on a fashionable and modern "bow", without which, as they say, today nowhere. The fact that cute pickups are now "in trend" even got interested in Mercedes and therefore released a premium model in such a body. Some eminent manufacturers have also picked up this trend, so soon no one will be surprised at the "glamor" of super-practical cars.
Design
As a headliner in the pickup market, the L200 certainly looks prettier, but retains the original design, which has received some refinements to improve handling. And still! Why reinvent the wheel when the usual "cart" works as it should, providing excellent sales and overtaking Toyota Hilux, Volkswagen amarok and everyone like them? And the "cart" looks like this: in front there is a spring suspension on double wishbones, with stabilizer lateral stability, and behind - a continuous axle on leaf springs. Front brakes - ventilated disc, rear - drum. Steering - rack and pinion with hydraulic booster.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
Ground clearance over 20 cm, ramp angle 24 degrees, increased body with a 7% reinforced frame, improved sound insulation, powerful diesel and plug-in familiar to Mitsubishi fans four-wheel drive from low gear - that's all that makes the surviving L200 a perfect fit for our roads. Taking the place of an outdated lever, the “washer” for the choice of modes of the all-wheel drive transmission is now easier than before. Considering that the model is supplied to Russia straight from hot Thailand, where all kinds of heating are simply not relevant, no heated steering wheel and windshield she does not - so far only heated seats in the first row are provided, rear window and side mirrors.
Comfort
As a result of the change of generations, the configuration of the cabin has not changed - the protruding "ears" and the transmission tunnel, whose characteristic massive upholstery projections support the legs, have been preserved. In the driver's seat, the right knee still rests against the plastic underside of the center console. Also, the steering column switches and door panels were not touched - the panels acquired a soft insert, but they still have simple plastic and only one window lifter that can work in automatic mode... Needless to say, the fifth L200 is glamorous only on the outside and, unlike many cars, does not try to seem more premium than it really is. 
Among the innovations - handles on the stands windscreen... Now it is even more convenient to get into the cabin, and if the handrails were also placed on the middle racks, like in the Toyota Hilux, then it would be great. In addition, a new, somewhat short steering wheel with a more grippy surface, adjustable in both height and reach. Updated and dashboard: from now on, on a small monochrome display of a trip-computer, "written" between two, not three "wells", one can see the temperature of the washer fluid and the fuel consumption / level in the tank, and the old double-red backlight of the scales was replaced with white. New front seats - with different fabric upholstery, a hint of lateral bolster and a 14mm increased longitudinal adjustment range. Front row legroom is up to 20mm larger.
According to the results of crash tests of the European independent organization Euro NCAP, the 5th generation L200 earned 4 stars out of 5 - quite good mark for a pickup truck! The test results are as follows: driver and adult passenger protection - 81%, child protection - 84%, pedestrian protection - 76%, safety devices - 64%. Strengthening the frame by 7% and an increase in the proportion of high-strength steels in the body helped to get a decent rating, due to which the torsional rigidity increased. In addition, various electronic assistants have contributed:
The top-end L200 is equipped with a multimedia complex with a built-in CD / MP3 player, radio, 6 speakers, Bluetooth, a USB port for connecting gadgets and steering wheel controls. The image from the rear view camera is displayed on the screen of the media system. In the basic version - the usual audio preparation, and in the more expensive version - a CD / MP3 radio with 4 speakers and USB.
New Mitsubishi L200 Specifications
Replacing the long-obsolete 2.5-liter 4D56 engine with 178 hp. and 350 Nm of torque, the inline 4-cylinder turbo diesel 4N15 MIVEC with a volume of 2.4 liters came. with electronic direct fuel injection Common rail... The new, all-aluminum motor matches environmental standard Euro-5 and develops 154 hp. and 380 Nm, or 181 hp. and 430 Nm, depending on the version. In the first case, the passport average fuel consumption is 7.1 l / 100 km, and in the second - 7.5 l / 100 km, but it should be borne in mind that the real figures may be higher. The base 154-horsepower version of the diesel is combined with a proprietary 6-speed manual transmission or with a five-speed automatic transmission japanese brand Aisin, and top option with a return of 181 hp. works in tandem exclusively with automatic transmission. "Automatic", by the way, with paddle shifters. Why are they pickup? Apparently, a tribute to fashion, nothing more.

In Russia, hard workers "for all occasions" are always in high demand, but the third Mitsubishi Pajero sport was an exception until he got a diesel modification.

The Japanese Mitsubishi brand seems to many to be somewhat static. This is because it does not often present new items to the judgment of the world community, as, say, for example, the same Toyota.

In 2016, when desires coincided with the possibilities, I got a handsome L200. What can I say, this is not a car, but a sheer delight! What did you immediately notice? The first is the almost silent operation of the engine and not only when you are in the cabin. Excellent sound insulation is the second fat plus.

New fifth generation Mitsubishi L200 pickup
Quick jump to sections
The fifth generation Mitsubishi L200 pickup dates back to 1978. The Japanese believe that this pickup is a direct descendant of the three-wheeled Mizushima truck, which appeared already in 1947. Note that today in the world of pickups there is not only the Japanese L200, but also its full clone -.
On the one hand, the L 200 received completely new appearance... On the other hand, if you look closely, you can see the familiar features of the old model. For example, the corporate line J-Line, that is, the rear part of the cab is made in the shape of the letter "J", which, as it were, outlines the cab from the back. By the way, this is not just a design refinement, but a design find that allows you to create maximum space inside the cabin, and at the same time, provides a backrest angle of up to 25 °.
If you look at the Mitsubishi pickup in profile, you will notice that the cargo platform has become longer, and its sides are now not rounded, as it was before, but almost even, which is a huge plus, since it makes it possible to install additional accessories.
Restaling Mitsubishi L200 2017, side view Load platform L 200
As for the cargo platform itself, it practically did not change, except that it increased by a few centimeters in width and length. Otherwise, everything is the same. Buyers for Mitsubishi pickup are offered plastic liner in the body and beautiful chrome arches, but these elements are optional accessories.
The side, as before, can withstand up to 200 kg, and the Japanese decided to abandon the sliding glass in the rear window. This may upset many owners of past "El 200", although it is difficult to imagine how such a window could be used in real life. But now its absence has made it possible to create a huge trunk, if only that word can be called the space formed behind the back of the rear row of seats.
Now the driver of a Mitsubishi pickup truck can easily place a fairly large number of personal belongings inside the cab, tools such as a “motorist's kit”, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and a jack. Everything fits easily here and I must say that the engineers did their best, because none of the pickups like this have such a place behind the seat backs. The only pity is that the Japanese did not figure out what to do under the seat cushions, although many pickups have them.
Cargo platform of the new L200 2017, rear view Dimensions of the cargo platform Mitsubishi pickup:
- Length: 152 cm;
- Width: 1 470 cm;
- Height: 48 cm;
- Payload: 915 kg.
Whatever one may say, the interior of any pickup, including the L200, or rather its layout and the amount of space in it, as a rule, is always a kind of compromise. Of course, if not talking about full-size, American pickup trucks.
On the one hand, of course, the interior of the Mitsubishi pickup has really changed, it has become much more modern, more pleasant to look at, because there were certain complaints about the previous interior, primarily because of its simplicity and primitiveness. On the other hand, Mitsubishi has never been distinguished by expensive finishing materials, especially in pickups.
Off-road, the Mitsubishi L200 feels like it is in its own cockpit. Ergonomics of the driver's seat
The plastic in the L 200's cabin is neat, but rather unpretentious and expectedly tough. The center console has also been completely redesigned, with climate control now the same as on the Outlander. There was also a radio with a touch screen. But the problem is that all these controls are finished with lacquered black plastic, which is not entirely practical for a pickup truck, because it is scratched and the dust is visible on it, and any touch leaves a mark.
Now in all trim levels, starting with the basic one, there is a USB connector, and you can also connect external sound sources to the radio. A small niche with an interesting removable plastic shelf appeared under the center console. The rocker of the gear selector is also finished in lacquered plastic. It is not known how long it will look presentable, but on new car looks beautiful.
Those who have dealt with the previous Mitsubishi L 200 will probably notice that now there is only one lever on the central tunnel - the gear selector, and the transmission is no longer controlled by a lever, but by means of a selector washer. Generally, this is convenient, although it deprives the car of the feeling of an "honest car" in which everything is controlled by real levers. However, before the lever was also not ordinary, but was essentially an electronic switch.
Pickup Mutsubishi received a trim around the gear selector made in the style of "black piano". The glove compartment is now opened with a button and locked. As for the devices, they have also changed, but they still look quite simple and unpretentious. Even the display on-board computer normal and monochrome. The pictogram, which displays the mode of operation of the transmission, remains the same as on most Mitsubishi cars and is a conventional schematic picture with LEDs lit up on it.
Surely the former owners of the Mitsubishi L200 will appreciate this innovation: the steering wheel is now adjustable not only by the angle of inclination, but also by the reach, which, of course, simplifies the landing behind the wheel.
New Mitsubishi l200 got a monochrome screen. Mitsubishi pickup and its amenities
As for the seats, as you know, earlier on the L 200 it was a real problem and the drivers constantly complained about them. New seats have now been installed, but they are not perfect either. Of course, the lateral support has become better, the pillow has become more comfortable, but it cannot be said that they are very comfortable. If we proceed from the fact that a pickup is a purely utilitarian car, then they can be described as not bad. We add that of the proposed options for finishing the seats, it is worth giving preference to fabric upholstery, since it has better frictional properties.
In a word, there are improvements in the driver's seat, but the back is still full of asceticism and there is not much space. Sitting back "by itself" immediately resting your knees on front seat... It is also strange that the developers did not want to make a pocket in the driver's seat, only the passenger seat has it. There are no personal air vents at the back, nor a 12-volt outlet.
But the Mitsubishi pickup, unlike most of these cars sold in our market, has a center armrest on the second row. It is not very convenient to pull it out, since the developers did not consider it necessary to attach some kind of tongue to it for greater convenience. It also has two cup holders. It is also good that there is no high central tunnel under your feet, and therefore the third passenger will also be able to sit comfortably.
It is worth paying tribute to the desire of the developers of this car to give the back of the second row a more correct slope. Now it's more comfortable to sit in the back. Now they should pay attention to the improved molding of both the cushions and the backrests of the rear seats.
The platform remains the same Constructive evolution of the Mitsubishi L200
From the point of view of the design, the pickup just evolved, there was no revolution in it. Frame, springs, in principle, the same, but with minor modifications. But power point has changed radically.
The fifth generation Mitsubishi L 200 pickup received completely new engine... As before, it is a diesel engine, but its volume is no longer 2.5, but 2.4 liters. Aluminum block, plastic cover and two power levels: 154 and 181 hp. Moreover, for the most powerful version, a turbine with a variable geometry and a variable valve timing system are provided.
Diesel engine Mitsubishi L200 now has a volume of 2.4 liters. Power plant L 200:
- Engine: 2.4 liter diesel;
- Maximum power: 181 hp;
- Maximum torque: 430 Nm;
- Maximum speed: 177 km / h;
- Average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 7.5 liters.
The good news is that all the innovations of this model have become available on our market: both engines and new 6-speed transmissions, both automatic and mechanical.
Driving properties on asphalt
Expectations that the new L 200 will change significantly in motion were not confirmed. However, maybe this is for the best. On the one hand, the pickup remains the same tough and rather rough car to drive. No changes were noticed here. By and large, the front suspension remained the same, the rear springs changed the attachment points and became a little longer, but unfortunately, the ride was not smooth and soft.
When purchasing this car, you need to be aware that it will be quite tough and not the most comfortable car to drive. However, evaluating comfort, do not forget that this is a pickup, that is commercial vehicle, moreover, with increased cross-country ability.
The front optics of the new pickup. We drive off-road
It is worth moving off the asphalt, as the L200 turns out to be, what it calls, "at ease", where it can fully realize all its capabilities. At low speeds, it shakes, both on a good road and on a bad one, but if you add a little speed and the car becomes much more comfortable. He drives according to the principle " more speed - fewer holes ".
If serious potholes or irregularities appear on the road, then it begins to bounce. If you put at least 200 kg of cargo in the body, then the car immediately becomes much smoother and more comfortable. This feature behavior is typical for any pickup truck that has leaf spring suspension at the rear.
As for off-road driving, in this discipline, Mitsubishi pickup really wins over its many competitors. First of all, due to the fact that there is an inter-axle differential lock, as well as a rear inter-wheel differential lock. For the front differential, electronics are responsible, which is capable of simulating the locking effect in one way or another. Therefore, if necessary, even on a serious off-road, the car is able to work wonders.
However, the "El 200" is not free from the off-road disadvantage that is inherent in most pickups. This is the weight distribution along the axes. If the machine is not loaded, the rear axle is very light and the front of the machine is very heavy. Therefore, when the car drives on a soggy track, the "muzzle" is buried, and rear wheels sometimes there is not enough grip. One has only to load the pickup, as its off-road capabilities will immediately increase.
As for the new engine with a capacity of 181 hp, the Mitsubishi L200 drives a little faster with it, but it is not necessary to say that now this car has some kind of crazy dynamics. However, if this car had even more dynamics, then, perhaps, it would become unsafe. Still, its handling on asphalt is not perfect and it is more of a cargo than a passenger car. Therefore, on any unevenness, the car strives to get off the trajectory, it has large rolls in corners, and braking is not its strong point.
Even when fully loaded, the pickup's clearance will not be less than 205 mm. Mitsubishi pickup is a workhorse
This pickup is a professional tool, very reliable, with a large margin of safety, but it must be perceived precisely as a tool for targeted trips. For those who often travel out of town, go to the forest for picnics, hike and travel, the El 200 pickup is a win-win.
Compared to its predecessor, the L200 has risen in price by about 150 thousand rubles and in the minimum configuration is offered for 1.349.000 rubles. Although, given the richer equipment in the database, the difference is not that big.
By and large, one can only be glad that this pickup has remained the same as it was. After all, such honest and unpretentious cars every day it gets smaller, and for many drivers they are still interesting.
The premiere took place at the last Dubai Motor Show. The novelty was presented by the company Fiat Professional, engaged in the production of haulers. The trick is that the new pickup is not "Italian" at all, but an exact copy of the Japanese Mitsubishi L200 of the fifth generation, except that it is 8 cm longer than the "Japanese". The engine line-up is the same as the L200. Fiat Fullback will be sold in Europe, the Middle East and Russia.
