AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/15 Report--

With the gradual relaxation or cancellation of relevant restrictions on pickup models in China, pickup sales continue to rise, and major car companies have also launched new pickup models to meet the market demand. According to statistics from relevant websites, the brand with the highest sales in the pickup market in 2020 is the Great Wall pickup, with cumulative sales of 200016 vehicles this year, an increase of 39.2% over the same period last year, accounting for 48.14% of the pickup market share.

Recently, there are media reports that GAC-Mitsubishi will import Mitsubishi pickup L200 and use the Australian market name Triton, which may be available on November 1, and the expected price may be 22.98-259800 yuan.

Judging from the picture, the L200 that GAC-Mitsubishi decided to introduce is the sixth generation model that will be listed overseas after the 2019 revamped model, which will be built on the same platform as the cash. From the styling point of view, the GAC-Mitsubishi L200 adopts a brand-new family design, with an X-shaped shape of the middle net and bumper on the front face, and two chrome-plated banners on the top. With reference to overseas models, the L200 pickup truck is equipped with a split LED headlamp design. In terms of body size, take the overseas version as an example, the Mitsubishi L200 is 5305/1815/1795mm in length, width and height, and 3000mm in wheelbase.

The interior also refers to overseas models, although it is a new generation of products, but the design is still relatively old-fashioned. Of course, as a pickup truck, the practicality in the car is enough, and the design method is not so important. In terms of power, the Mitsubishi L200 is equipped with a 2.4T diesel engine, maximum horsepower 181Ps, peak torque of 430N ·m, and a six-speed manual or six-speed manual transmission. Of course, most importantly, some models will match the same super four-wheel drive system of Mitsubishi Pajero.

If Mitsubishi L200 introduces domestic sales, then the Great Wall gunner truck will be its strongest and most direct competitor. It is understood that the guidance price of the Great Wall Gun is 9.78-207800 yuan, equipped with 2.0T diesel engine / 2.0T gasoline engine, the former maximum power is 163Ps, peak torque is 400N ·m, transmission system brand 6-gear manual transmission, the latter maximum power is maximum horsepower 190Ps, peak torque 360N ·m, matching 8-gear automatic transmission. Statistics show that in 2020, Great Wall cannon sold a total of 114900 vehicles, ranking first in the pickup market.

Pickup models made by Chinese independent car companies are relatively cheap, and Great Wall Gun has been a bestseller in the past year and has become the top seller in the pickup market. In terms of price, the Mitsubishi L200 introduced as an import is sold at a higher price, coupled with the fact that the Mitsubishi brand is less well-known in the domestic market, it is also difficult for its sales to grow significantly.
