In terms of kit, the Titan comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, Mitsubishi’s drive mode system, a locking rear differential, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, a 360-degree camera, tinted windows and lumbar support.
Step up to the Barbarian and you get 18-inch wheels, hill descent control, powered and heated leather seats, two-zone climate control, LED headlights, wireless smartphone charging, a leather steering wheel and carpeted flooring instead of the Titan’s vinyl floors.
In its double-cab bodystyle, the new L200 is 95mm longer and 15mm taller than the previous L200, although it’s the same width at 1,815mm.
Mitsubishi says the L200 Series 7 has a “rugged, ultra-modern exterior that matches a cabin delivering significant advances in design, technology, and material quality”. We’ll deliver our verdict on material quality when we test the pick-up in the coming weeks, but we can see its butch looks are certainly in keeping with previous L200s, which proved extremely popular with UK buyers.
The pick-up truck sector in the UK has shrunk in recent years with the Nissan Navara, Mercedes X-Class, Fiat Fullback all being axed. The Mitsubishi L200 also left us in 2021 when the Japanese brand called time on UK operations.
However, when it returns, it will still have to contend with the recently facelifted Toyota Hilux – our current Pick-up of the Year – the Ford Ranger, the KGM Musso and the Isuzu D-Max.
Mitsubishi’s returning pick-up truck will soon be joined by the brand’s Outlander PHEV and potentially a Shogun range-topping SUV, which we’ve spied testing already.
