The bold looks are complemented by an automatic transmission with six forward gears instead of five, an Aisin-developed gearbox coupled to a 2.3-liter turbo diesel with four cylinders and selective catalytic reduction. A good ol’ manual remains standard, but even in entry-level specification, the L200 boasts enhanced ride and handling thanks to the stiffer chassis.

New springs, new dampers, class-leading active safety technology, increased payload, and a gross train weight of 6,155 kilograms are a few other highlights, along with the “significantly upgraded 4WD system.” Super Select 4WD-II now features a different Off-Road Mode, which includes settings for driving over rocks, gravel, sand, and through mud or snow.

Even the hood sits higher than before, adding more presence to the visual drama of the truck. 18-inch alloy wheels are standard on the majority of the range, along with chrome trim, LED headlamps, and LED daytime running lights. Larger brakes on all four corners are also offered, along with Forward Collision Mitigation, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Warning, Hill Start Assist, Hill, Descent Control, and many more.

The seats too have been revised with improved bolstering while the steering is a bit chunkier than before. New instrumentation in the guise of a full-color LCD display and improved storage round off the list of improvements, making the L200 an interesting buy in the mid-size segment.

Otherwise known as the Triton, Fiat Fullback, and Ram 1200, the fifth generation of the Mitsubishi L200 came out in 2014 for the 2015 model year. If you’re looking for an SUV with the same capabilities and body-on-frame construction, the Pajero Sport is the one to go for.
