The pre-sale price is 27-30 Ten thousand yuan, will be sold through parallel import. The new car is built using the latest design concepts of the Mitsubishi family and will be equipped with a 2.2T diesel engine.
Adopt Mitsubishi family design language
Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck is built on the same platform as Mitsubishi Pajero · Jinchang. It adopts a non-load-bearing body and will be available in four-door two-row, two-door two-row and two-row Three versions of door single row are available.
In terms of appearance design, Mitsubishi L200 follows the Mitsubishi family-style design, and the front face adopts Mitsubishi's latest Dynamic Shield design language, X The large grille shape and split headlights are familiar to us. Together with the rough bumper design, it looks domineering enough.
Looking from the front, the Mitsubishi L200 is more like an SUV model, quite a bit like the "Pajero". The front face does not have the square and tough feeling that I remember from pickup trucks. The rounder style is not sure whether it will be liked by pickup truck enthusiasts.
The new car is also equipped with Mitsubishi's iconic new split LED headlight set, and the narrow LED daytime running lights above it look classy "Squinting " feeling, the lower light group integrates high and low beam lights and fog lights.
The side of the Mitsubishi L200 is relatively simple. It only adds two upper and lower waist lines to enhance the layering of the side of the car. It does not use too many complicated lines to outline, and lacks a hardcore atmosphere.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the L200 double-row model are 5305/1815/1795mm, the wheelbase is 3000mm, and the ground clearance is The height is 205mm.
The actual model is a low-end version. The rim size is not large and looks a bit stingy. It is matched with Bridgestone's DUELER H/T series tires.
Coming to the rear, the rear design of L200 is also mainly simple. The large and square taillights echo the square tail compartment. There are not many highlights on the whole.
The real-life model is equipped with large-sized pedals on the sides and rear of the car to make it easier for drivers and passengers to get in and out of the car. And the design of the pedals can be well integrated with the body and does not look out of place.
The interior design is mainly simple and the configuration is relatively ordinary
Entering the car, the overall interior style of Mitsubishi L200 is mainly simple, which looks a bit old-fashioned and is not very in line with the aesthetics of young consumers who are pursuing fashion today.
The center console of the new car adopts a T symmetrical design. The interior materials use a large area of hard materials, and the overall look lacks a sense of class.
The instrument panel adopts a double-barrel mechanical instrument+ design with an LCD screen in the middle, which is convenient and intuitive, and can display relatively complete vehicle information.
High-end models will be equipped with a large central control screen and dual-zone automatic air conditioning, but the actual model is a low-end version, which is not equipped with a large central control screen and only has a slightly retro radio. In addition, the knob-type manual air conditioner and large-sized physical buttons do seem to be a bit behind the trend now.
The configuration is also very average, with basically no intelligent and comfortable configuration. The low-end model is fine for use as a tool cart, but if you are looking for home use, the "fast" configuration will definitely not be convenient for daily use.
In terms of safety configuration, L200 will use Mitsubishi's lightweight RISE body and will be equipped with 7 airbags and 7< /span> safety assistance system, safety performance is guaranteed to a certain extent.
The space performance is acceptable
The real-shot model uses relatively large and thick manual fabric seats. The seat fillings are moderately soft and hard, and the overall ride comfort is good. The front seats of low-end models are also equipped with seat heating functions.
In terms of seating space, an experiencer with a height of 180cm sits in the front row of L200 and adjusts the seat to the lowest and suitable driving position. There is still one punch in the internal space.
Keeping the front seat position unchanged, the same experiencer measured that the headroom in the back row is three fingers, and the leg room is one punch and three fingers. The overall performance is acceptable.
However, the rear seats do not support angle adjustment, and the sitting posture is relatively straight, which is uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. Of course, this is also the case for most leather seats.Common problem with truck models.
As a pickup truck that is mainly practical, the cargo bed length of L200 can reach 1520mm, and the internal width is 1470mm. Depth 1520mm, column height 475mm. The storage capacity is quite good, with a maximum load capacity of 901kg, and the overall load performance is quite good.
Equipped with 2.2T diesel engine and super-selected four-wheel drive system
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.2T MIVEC diesel engine with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 400N·m. As for the transmission system, it is matched with a 6AT gearbox.
And the new car also has off-road configurations such as super-selected four-wheel drive system -II, off-road mode, hill descent control system, etc. There is no doubt about the strength of the four-wheel drive system developed by Mitsubishi. After all, it is The "Lynx" Pajero has always been an off-road expert.
Mitsubishi L200 has lateral movement 45°, departure angle 23°, and longitudinal breakover angle 25° The crossing capability continues the excellent off-road performance of the Mitsubishi family.
In terms of chassis, L200 will be equipped with a double-wishbone front independent suspension with a lateral stabilizer bar and a three-link coil spring integral axle rear suspension.
Write at the end:
As many places gradually introduce policies to lift the ban on pickup trucks entering cities, pickup truck models will be welcomed by more and more consumers, and the Mitsubishi L200 with its excellent off-road performance is one worth paying attention to. car model.
However, nowadays, in order to meet the hard targets of pickup trucks that are durable and convenient for hauling goods, more and more users are pursuing pickup trucks that are better-looking, smarter and better to drive, and L200In terms of interior materials and configurations, it is obviously not only independent pickup models such as the Great Wall Cannon. Coupled with the fact that its pre-sale price starting at RMB 270,000 is not cheap, it is not easy for Mitsubishi L200 to achieve good results in the domestic pickup truck market.
