The new Mitsubishi L200 Series 6 is now on sale in the UK. With more than 4.7 million units built since its debut in 1978, the sixth generation L200 builds on Mitsubishi Motors’ 40-year history of building pickups.

Priced from £21,515 for the entry level Mitsubishi L200 4Life Club Cab, the Series 6 has been engineered to be “the most capable pickup Mitsubishi Motors has ever produced, introducing car-like levels of driving refinement and state-of-the-art safety systems to the segment, offering the perfect solution to motorists looking for the practicality and versatility of a pick-up without compromising on comfort, driving pleasure or running costs”.

The Mitsubishi L200 Series 6 also makes advances in terms of its pickup capability, with an increased payload of 1,080kg and gross train weight of 6,155kg, plus a significantly upgraded 4WD system to enhance the L200’s off-road ability. Under the bonnet, a new Euro 6d compliant 2,268cc turbo diesel engine and a new six-speed automatic transmission help deliver lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency.
