What body styles are available for the Mitsubishi L200 in Hong Kong?

The Mitsubishi L200 is currently available in Hong Kong mainly in the Double Cab (5-seat) body style, which seats 5 passengers while retaining the pickup bed for practicality. The distributor offers the sixth-generation model, featuring Mitsubishi's signature Dynamic Shield front grille design for a bolder look than its predecessor.

What is the powertrain of the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200 is powered by a 2.2-litre inline-4 turbocharged diesel engine that meets the Euro 6d-TEMP emission standards. It produces 150 to 154 hp and a peak torque of 400 Nm (approx. 40.8 kgm), which is fully available from 2,000 rpm, providing ample low-end torque for city driving or carrying heavy loads uphill.

What drive system does the Mitsubishi L200 have?

The Mitsubishi L200 is equipped with the Super Select 4WD-II system, which allows the driver to switch between 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (4WD), and 4L (low-range 4WD) modes on the fly without stopping. This system provides better traction on slippery roads or light off-road terrain, while using 2H mode for daily driving helps save fuel.

What are the dimensions of the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200 measures approximately 5,305 mm in length, 1,815 mm in width, and 1,775 to 1,780 mm in height, with a long wheelbase of 3,000 mm. Its length is similar to a mid-size sedan, but its taller and wider dimensions mean you need to pay attention to height and width restrictions in Hong Kong car parks, especially multi-storey ones.

How luxurious is the cabin of the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200 has a very "car-like" interior, feeling more like a passenger vehicle than a traditional truck. The seats are upholstered in genuine leather, with the driver's seat featuring power adjustment. The centre console has a large audio display that works with a rearview camera, and the air conditioning is dual-zone automatic climate control. The 4-spoke leather steering wheel also comes with paddle shifters for gear changes, giving a driving experience close to an SUV.

What safety features does the Mitsubishi L200 have?

The Mitsubishi L200 comes with a comprehensive safety package, including 7 airbags. It is also equipped with Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), which uses a front camera to detect pedestrians and obstacles and can apply the brakes automatically when necessary. Other features include Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and a factory-fitted rearview camera, giving it active safety performance comparable to modern passenger cars.

Are there any usage restrictions for the Mitsubishi L200 in Hong Kong?

Yes, this is very important to note. The Mitsubishi L200 is classified as a diesel commercial vehicle in Hong Kong. By law, diesel commercial vehicles have a 15-year service life, meaning they must be de-registered 15 years after first registration and cannot be relicensed. Owners must also arrange for annual vehicle inspections, and tunnel tolls and some parking fees are higher than for private cars, so you must consider this carefully before purchasing.

How is the driving feel of the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200's performance is strong, with the diesel engine's low-end torque providing very brisk city driving and overtaking. However, you should note that its rear suspension uses a leaf spring design, a typical truck setup for carrying loads. As a result, when driving without a load, the rear end can be quite bouncy, and the ride quality won't be as comfortable as a regular passenger car – it's something you need to be prepared for.

What colour options are available for the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200 is available in Hong Kong with a range of exterior colour options, including mainstream choices like white, black, grey, silver, and blue. For specific colours and combinations, it is recommended to visit the Kowloon Bay flagship showroom or contact the distributor directly, as colour options may be updated from year to year.

What are the advantages of the Super Select 4WD-II system in the Mitsubishi L200?

The Mitsubishi L200 features the renowned Super Select 4WD-II system, allowing drivers to switch modes at speeds up to 100 km/h. This enables the Mitsubishi L200 to use full-time 4WD for better grip on tarmac or low-range 4WD with a diff-lock for extreme off-road recovery.
