Driving the L200 pickup
Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD-II System
Robust handling in all conditions
The L200 can take on all kinds of terrain, thanks to Super Select 4WD-II. This state-of-the-art four wheel drive system controls the power and braking to each individual wheel. Simply switch between settings on the centre console, and you'll get maximum stability and traction — whatever the surface.

Setting: 2H
2WD HIGH RANGE
Choose this one for a smooth, economic performance and fuel efficiency.
Setting: 4H
4WD FULL TIME
This setting is for more stability when towing or added traction in wet slippery conditions. The L200 can also enter this 4WD mode whilst driving up to 60MPH on normal road surfaces.
Setting: 4HLc
4WD HIGH RANGE WITH CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED
Use this setting for evenly distributed power to the wheels and an overall better grip.
Setting: 4LLc
4WD LOW RANGE WITH CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED
This setting offers better turning power and maximum traction on all terrain.
Mitsubishi L200 Off-Road Mode
Greater traction when you need it
Improve the L200's traction further with the off-road selector switch. Just press the button until the right mode appears in the Multi-Information Display on the dash. Choose between Gravel, Mud/snow, Sand or Rock* settings.
Hill Descent Control
Feel confident on steep slopes
Negotiating a tricky slope? Use Hill Descent Control (the switch is just under the 4WD selector dial). The L200 will automatically apply the brakes to maintain your current speed. It means you can focus your attention on steering, without having to think about applying the brakes.
* Hill Descent control should only be used when off-road.
Large Front Disc Brakes
Improved braking efficiency
Models with 18-inch wheels are equipped with enlarged front ventilated disc brakes. These provide greater braking efficiency. It's just one more way the new model L200 is ready for whatever life throws at it.
6-Speed Automatic Transmission
Slip smoothly into Sport Mode
Enjoy driving without sacrificing responsiveness with the smooth-shifting new 6-speed automatic transmission. Slip into Sport Mode for a more sporty, manual-like driving experience.
6-Speed Manual Transmission
Changes gear just like a car
If you choose the manual transmission, you get six speeds for total control in all driving conditions. The smooth gear change combined with light clutch control makes for a nice easy operation that feels more like a car than a pickup.
Lightweight 2.2 Litre Turbo Diesel Engine
Powerful, economical engine
The L200 has a 2.2 litre 16-valve lightweight all-aluminium engine block and precision common rail direct injection system. This makes it highly fuel efficient and economical, yet it has all the punchy acceleration and robust torque you'll ever need.
Enhanced Suspension
Smoothes out the bumps
In the front, you've got a rugged double wishbone with coil springs and a stabilizer bar, and in the rear, above-the-axle leaf springs. The upshot is a stable, comfortable ride on even the most demanding terrain.
Instrument Panel
Brighter, clearer controls
The speedo and tach dials have higher contrast and better graphics to make them easier to read. In between the dials, there's a full colour LCD Multi-Information Display giving you information, 4-wheel drive status and safety alerts.
3.5 Tonne Towing Capacity**
The Mitsubishi L200 is not only tough, it’s strong too
The L200 will easily tow trailers that have a variety of payloads on them such as building or farming equipment. And the L200’s 4WD system, helps to keep the vehicle stable on unpredictable road surfaces.

IMPORTANT
Note: in models with SS4-II, OFF ROAD MODE is only available in the 4HLc and 4LLc settings. *In models with SS4-II, the ROCK setting is only available in the 4HLc and 4LLc settings.
Note: on vehicles with M/T, set the drive mode selector to “4LLc” position. When using the Hill Descent Control while driving except in “4LLc” position, the engine may stall. As a result, it could lose the brake effectiveness or lock the tyres, which may lead to a serious accident.
Hill Descent Control [HDC] is not a substitute for safe driving. Never rely solely on this function while driving on steep roads. When driving on slippery roads such as muddy, icy or unpaved road, your vehicle will not allow you to stay at a certain low speed, which may lead to a serious accident. Please see the owner’s manual for additional information.
