The L200 is the European specification version of the all-new Triton/Strada pickup which was launched in Thailand in November 2014. While featuring improvements in its functionality and reliability as a work vehicle, it was developed as "The ultimate sport utility truck" and to provide an interior space with comfort levels on par with a passenger model, according to the automaker. The diesel version of the L200 uses a turbocharged 2.4L MIVEC diesel engine, which complies with European emission regulations. In addition it emits just 169 g/km of CO2, among the lowest in its class while delivering output o 181 ps (High Power model). Two transmissions are offered: a new 6-speed manual and MMC's 5-speed with Sport Mode and paddle shifting. Four-wheel drive models employ the Super Select 4WD-II drivetrain from the Pajero (also known as the Montero or Shogun in some countries) with four selectable drive modes.

The new L200 includes a number of safety features such as MMC's RISE reinforced impact safety body structure and is fitted with seven SRS airbags for improved occupant safety in the event of a crash. Active safety features include Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) which, when pulling a trailer, automatically helps keep it on line in side winds and other times it becomes unstable; and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) which warns the driver when his vehicle is about to drift out of its lane.

The all-new Triton/L200 pickups are being introduced sequentially over the globe with plans to eventually introduce them into some 150 countries.

Mitsubishi will also be debuting its MITSUBISHI Concept XR-PHEV II is a small SUV concept, which the automaker expects to be its second PHEV following the Outlander PHEV launched in January 2013. The new PHEV system presented in the MITSUBISHI Concept XR-PHEV II is a lightweight, compact, and high-efficiency front-engine/front-drive system ideal for an urban crossover, according to the automaker. The system is estimated to achieve CO2 emissions of below 40 g/km, while also delivering 163 ps with its electric
