Mitsubishi presented the New generation of the L200the historic pickup that knew how to be a pioneer of its segment in the 90s and that over the years was losing land at hand of its national production rivals.
This sixth generation comes a few months after the Japanese brand, represented in the country by Grupo Antelo (Car One), launched the new outlander, a SUV manufactured in Japan but offered at the price “Mercosur”.
In this case, the new Pickup L200 arrives from Thailand in a single full version (L200 GLS 4WD) offered by 56,500 dollars. With a larger body, new engine, chassis, suspension and great equipment, improves the aptitudes of the predecessor model that had stopped sold last year.
