Muscat, 19 January 2025: The all-new L200 pickup has won the Design Car of the Year at
the 2024-2025 Japan Car of the Year awards, recognizing excellent exterior and interior
design.
The organizing committee praised Mitsubishi for the L200’s rugged yet inspiring design,
which encourages a new lifestyle, and its robust form that harmonizes with the bold Dynamic
Shield front-end design. Based on the “Beast Mode” design concept, the L200 boasts
toughness, power, and agility, with a three-dimensional front grille, powerful fenders, and a
well-balanced double cab.
Inside, the instrument panel follows the Horizontal Axis concept, with a strong horizontal
design for easy posture changes while driving. The design incorporates soft pads for
passenger protection and high-contrast, modern elements, with switches and dials operable
even while wearing gloves.
The L200 traces its roots back to the Forte, released in 1978, with approximately 5.7 million
units produced over five generations. Developed under the concept of “Power for
Adventure,” the all-new L200 has been overhauled in design and engineering and was first
launched in Thailand in July 2023 and introduced in Japan in February 2024. It’s now being
rolled out in around 100 countries, catering to customers’ adventurous spirits.
