Mitsubishi is bringing the L200 back to the UK this summer, but Brazil has already been treated to something a little more interesting with the new Mitsubishi Triton Terra. The Terra is a limited-edition version of the L200 pickup (known as the Triton in several global markets), and while it definitely isn’t coming here, it does show what could be done with the new-generation truck.
Limited to just 300 units, the Triton Terra is based on the Katana grade sold in Brazil and gets a selection of styling and equipment upgrades intended to give it a more upmarket, outdoorsy feel. There are brown-painted lower body sections, a darkened matte front grille, and two-tone alloy wheels.
Inside, there is two-tone leather upholstery, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, Terra badging on the front headrests, and raised-edge floor mats. At the back, the load bed gets a standard liner. Mitsubishi has also fitted electric side steps, which are either a welcome convenience or another expensive thing to worry about if you spend much time in actual mud.
Underneath, the Triton Terra appears to have the same substance as the rest of the L200 range. It gets Super Select 4WD-II, Mitsubishi’s four-wheel-drive system, with selectable driving modes including two-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive, locked centre differential modes and low range. There is also a rear differential lock, underbody protection for the oil pan, transmission and fuel tank, plus Active Yaw Control to help reduce understeer by braking individual wheels.
Power comes from Mitsubishi’s 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel engine, producing 205hp and 479Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
The biggest sticking point is the price. In Brazil, the Triton Terra costs 364,990 reais, equivalent to roughly £54,000, making it one of the most expensive pickups in its market. Local taxes and market conditions mean that figure does not translate neatly to the UK, but it still underlines that Mitsubishi is pitching this not at tradespeople looking for a simple working truck, but at buyers who want something highly specified and a bit more distinctive.
The standard new L200 will already have plenty to prove when it arrives in Britain. Mitsubishi has been away from the UK new car market for several years, and although the L200 name still carries weight, the sector is smaller and more expensive than it used to be. It will return to a market dominated by the Ford Ranger, with the Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max and KGM Musso all fighting for space.
The Triton Terra will not be part of that battle, but perhaps it should give Mitsubishi UK something to think about.
