The L200 has been a consistent success and remains popular in the UK pick-up market. Like the new L200, the Fullback will be available in the UK as a double cab model only with just two trim levels.<\/p>\n<p>The Fullback will be powered by Mitsubishi&#8217;s new aluminium 2.4-litre diesel engine, with a choice\u00a0 of 150PS or 180PS power levels. A choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission will be available, both with four-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7999\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7999\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fiat-fullback-2-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Fiat Fullback interior\" width=\"550\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fiat-fullback-2-sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fiat-fullback-2-sm-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/fiat-fullback-2-sm-50x30.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7999\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside, the Fullback is virtually identical to the new L200.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Fiat, the medium-duty pick-up truck segment accounted for 675,000 sales in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region in 2014.
