Depending on the selected configuration, the transmission can be mechanical or automatic, while the outline itself is the same. Moving further along the tunnel, a round four-wheel drive control selector, stabilization system control buttons and a pair of cup holders are installed.

There is little information on the interior trim of the updated Mitsubishi L200, but it can be assumed that, depending on the configuration, the manufacturer will offer fabric or leather trim.

The interior colors of the Mitsubishi pickup are mostly dark, black, gray or brown; in the Thai market, the L200 pickup will be offered only with a black interior and leather upholstery, and perforated inserts.

Finally, consider the driver's seat of the updated Mitsubishi L200 2019, it was he who had the most updates in the pickup interior. The designers have updated the dashboard with bright gauge bezels, nice white backlighting and a color on-board computer display. The Mitsubishi steering wheel was also changed, adding function buttons and the ability to adjust the steering wheel in height and depth. Only high-quality leather was used as a lining for the steering wheel of the L200, the top versions will receive a heated steering wheel.
