About the Mitsubishi L200 Mk5
The fifth-generation Mitsubishi L200, known as the Series 5 in the UK, represented a significant leap forward in refinement for the nameplate. The Barbarian trim was the range-topping 'lifestyle' variant, featuring a distinctive 'J-curve' design between the cab and the bed that allowed for a more reclined rear seat angle, improving passenger comfort. It debuted the 2.4-litre 4N15 MIVEC all-aluminium diesel engine, which was lighter and more efficient than the previous 2.5-litre unit. The Barbarian is highly regarded for its Super Select 4WD-II system, which allows for permanent four-wheel drive on tarmac, a rarity in the segment that provides superior grip when unladen.

Mitsubishi L200 Mk5 fun facts
- The Series 5 L200 was the first pick-up in the world to use an all-aluminium diesel engine, significantly reducing front-end weight.
- Its 'J-curve' body design wasn't just for looks; it gave the L200 the shortest wheelbase in its class, resulting in a best-in-class turning circle of just 11.8 metres.
- The Barbarian trim features unique blue LED mood lighting in the door sills and footwells, a nod to its 'lifestyle' rather than purely 'workhorse' positioning.
