The next generation, 2023 Mitsubishi L200, will reportedly come with significant upgrades. According to many reports, the new L200 pickup truck will hit the markets sometime in the year as the 2023 model. If you didn’t know, some other markets offer the same model under different names, such as “Triton” or “Barbarian.”
Besides some small outside refreshments, the interior of this truck will also gain essential updates. The new truck will feature more equipment and better safety, from what we heard. In the same segment are many popular trucks, and we cannot wait to see how the Mitsubishi L200 will keeping up with them.
2023 Mitsubishi L200 Exterior Looks Impressive
The new 2023 Mitsubishi L200 is an impressive truck. It’s refreshed for 2023, and it features better detailing than the outgoing model. For the first time, the manufacturer introduced a new top-spec model called Barbarian X. This trim comes with many upgrades over the regular one, and best of all, it’s off-road-ready.
The overall styling of the regular Mitsubishi L200 is already seen on the popular Outlander and ASX models. Basically, the design is recognized by a Dynamic Shield styling that is far more modern and assertive. Besides, the new Mitsubishi L200 also features a revised front fascia, including an attractive grille and unique pair of LED headlights that are mounted much higher than before. The squared-off wheel arches are also present, and the much tougher-looking rear styling with new LED taillights.
Interior Upgrades
The interior of the upcoming 2023 Mitsubishi L200 is plusher and more car-like. According to Mitsubishi, the new truck’s cabin is better-looking and more comfortable thanks to supportive seats. Interestingly, Mitsubishi added a thicker-rimmed steering wheel and the same infotainment system that we saw previously on upper trims.
The Barbarian X is the new trim that has many benefits over the regular one. This package will include bespoke ‘six-pack’ seat styling with sporting-type side bolsters and LED interior lighting. Overall, we can also expect more driver-assist features with this trim and more standard technology.
2023 Mitsubishi L200 Powertrain Option
Under the hood, the latest 2023 Mitsubishi L200 will most likely keep the same engine as the outgoing one. This truck deploys a 2.4-liter diesel engine that is capable of producing around 180 horses. However, many believe that alongside this powertrain will be offered a one new. As we mentioned, the L200 will ride on the new platform capable of bearing some hybrid powertrain option.
Moreover, many gossips are predicting a 2.3-liter dCi engine. The same powertrain we saw under the new Nissan Navara pickup. Generally, that does make sense, considering that both models are sharing the same platform. Under the Navara truck, this engine can produce 148 horsepower, which isn’t that much. However, if you are looking for the most efficient model, the hybrid variant is worth waiting for.
Release Date, Price
The next-gen 2023 Mitsubishi L200 will arrive refreshed. Mitsubishi will launch its new L200, aka Triton truck, sometime in the year. However, don’t expect noting significance because it features the same design language as the outgoing one.
Of course, the upcoming model will cost more than its predecessor, but the exact price is not yet available. Competitions are tough, and Mitsubishi L200’s main rivals are trucks such as the Ford Ranger and Mercedes-Benz X-Class.
