N/A / 5
Mitsubishi L200:

III Double Cab Overview:
Mitsubishi L200 (III Double Cab). With 201 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.2 l/100km). With a weight of 1685 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 23.7 s). The top speed reaches 135 km/h. A vehicle with an open cargo bed at the back, suitable for transporting goods. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
Performance Verdict
Significantly underpowered for a vehicle of this size, struggling with acceleration, highway speeds, and heavy loads. Best for basic, slow-paced work.
Fuel Economy
Offers decent fuel economy for a 4x4 pickup of its era, but at the cost of substantial performance limitations.
Best Use Case:
Strictly utility, farm work, very light commercial duties where speed is not a priority.
