Mitsubishi is set to return to the UK in 2026, launching the Outlander plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and the latest-generation Mitsubishi L200 Series 7 double-cab pick-up truck.
The two Mitsubishi models will be available in the UK from summer 2026, initially in limited numbers. It marks a return for the Japanese brand for the first time since 2020, when the carmaker decided to freeze development of new models for Europe and exit the UK market.
Mitsubishi’s L200 pick-up first arrived in the UK in the mid-1980s in single-cab Series 2 guise, with the following Series 3 being available for the first time as a double-cab model. The arrival of the Series 4, Series 5 and Series 6 models extended sales to more than 180,000 units.
The latest Series 7 is the most capable L200 ever, according to Mitsubishi. It is powered by an extensively re-engineered 2.4-litre two-stage bi-turbo diesel engine. Power and torque have both been increased over its predecessor.
The L200’s Super Select 4WD-II system offers a choice of two- and four-wheel drive, along with centre differential locked full-time four-wheel drive and low gear centre differential locked four-wheel drive, with the choice of seven Normal, ECO, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock driving modes.
UK launch dates, prices and vehicle specifications will be made available closer to lauunch.
