Mitsubishi introduced in 2005 a new generation of its trustworthy L200 pickup, which was sold under the Triton name on specific markets.
The Japanese automaker understood that customers started to use pickups for leisure, not only for work. That convinced it to design the vehicle more carefully, so it could attract more buyers. Soon, thanks to the features and amenities introduced for the 2005 L200/Triton, the vehicle became a benchmark in the lifestyle-pickup segment in the European and Asian markets. Moreover, the four-door version, named Double Cab, was practical for an entire family.
For the second generation of the vehicle, Mitsubishi introduced a new design language with rounded shapes and sharp angles. Its raked grille and pentagonal headlights were unusual for a pickup. In addition, the plastic, wrapped-around bumper sported the grille mounted on a body-colored vertical slat in the middle of the grille. To keep the vehicle's length short enough, the Double Cab version was fitted with a shorter bed in the back than on the Crew-Cab.
The cabin was fit for hosting up to five passengers on high-mounted seats at the front and a bench in the back. But the hard-plastic dashboard still reminded customers that underneath those rounded lines was a hard-core workhorse and a very capable off-road machine. Depending on the trim level, the car could've been fitted with leather upholstery, a capable CD stereo, and power windows on all four.
Under the hood, depending on the market, Mitsubishi installed various engines. The L200 was available with either a choice of four engines. Two turbo-diesel versions, a 2.5-liter or a 3.2-liter, or two gasoline powerplants with 2.4-liter or 3.5-liter displacement.
