The car received the worst rating for the safety of the driver and adult passengers, not earning a single star out of five possible.
The frontal impact test at a speed of 64 km/h revealed a significant risk of life-threatening injuries due to the unreliable design of the vehicle. Experts assessed this result as "shameful."
For child safety, the pickup earned only two stars. The dummy indicators point to "weak" neck protection and "low" chest protection.
In addition, experts noted that the updated Mitsubishi L200 for South American countries in its base trim lacks airbags, a seatbelt reminder system, and an electronic stability control system. Mitsubishi has already reviewed the crash test results and announced its intention to add the required systems to the pickup's standard equipment.
