Arbeitsauto: Mitsubishi bringt seinen Pick-up zurück nach Deutschland

Friedberg, Germany - The return of the Mitsubishi Pick-up to the German market marks a significant moment in the automotive landscape. For years, the segment has seen a departure of numerous manufacturers, leaving few options for those seeking a classic pick-up. However, Mitsubishi has decided to make a comeback, with the L200 set to return to dealerships come the end of the year, marking its sixth generation.

Priced from 39,990 Euros, the Mitsubishi L200 aims to bridge the gap between its technical roots and the demands of modern competitors. Its design and features are intended to meet the expectations of today's market, despite the fact that it is technically just a re-release from 2023, initially introduced in Thailand. The sixth generation of the Mitsubishi pick-up has been sold under the Triton name in various markets, with a slight delay before making its way to Europe.

The import of the Mitsubishi L200 to Germany fills a gap in the model program that existed since the discontinuation of its predecessor in late 2022. This decision is largely attributed to the persistent demand from customers, according to sources from the importer. However, due to future emission regulations, Mitsubishi plans to sell the heavy pick-up under a small series regulation, which has fewer stringent requirements, albeit with production limits.

Initially, only 1,000 units will be available at launch, showcasing Mitsubishi's cautious approach to re-entering the German market.
