Mitsubishi returns to the UK pickup market in May with the launch of the new L200, and it’s pricing it from £36,295.

The seventh-generation L200 is the first model in Mitsubishi’s renewed UK line-up, marking the brand’s re-entry after withdrawing from the market in 2021. A new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SUV is set to follow, but it’s the one-tonne pickup that will carry the comeback for now.

With a starting price of £36,295 ex-VAT, the new L200 is some way above the £30,800 Ford asks for the entry-level Ranger XL double-cab, although it undercuts the Toyota Hilux at £40,436. Prices are broadly comparable to the Isuzu D-Max’s, and a little more than the GWM Poer300.

The L200 will be offered in double-cab configuration as standard, alongside a dedicated Commercial variant, priced from £37,495 ex-VAT. Like the Isuzu D-Max Commercial, this version removes the rear seats in favour of a permanent cabin conversion, creating a separate and secure internal load compartment behind the front seats. This will provide a compliant commercial vehicle option for operators who want the capability of a double cab while aligning with commercial tax and benefit rates.

Power across the range comes from a twin-turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. Full UK performance figures have yet to be confirmed, but the Australian-market model produces a competitive 204hp and 470Nm of torque. Mitsubishi is quoting a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity and a one-tonne payload, keeping it in line with what’s expected by UK buyers.

Two trim levels will be available when the Mitsubishi L200 returns: Titan and Barbarian. The Titan opens the range at £36,295 ex-VAT, while the Barbarian starts from £39,995. The higher-spec model gains Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system, enabling permanent drive to all four wheels along with selectable terrain modes to suit different surfaces and working environments. That added flexibility is likely to appeal to operators regularly switching between road and off-road use.

The UK pickup market has shifted during Mitsubishi’s absence, with some former competitors having exited and newer entrants increasing price pressure at the lower end. Even so, the Ranger and Hilux remain dominant forces, and Mitsubishi will be banking on the L200’s established reputation for durability and off-road capability to win back former customers.

Order books for the new Mitsubishi L200 will open ahead of first deliveries in May.
