Whether for business use or for carrying an entire extended family into countless memorable journeys, the Mitsubishi L300 utility vehicle is fit for all the aforementioned needs. Derived from the famous L300 Versa Van of yesteryear, the L300 Cab’s styling is as purpose-driven as its predecessor, and it comes in with an unbelievable number of body configurations depending upon its intended use.
On its FB body type, the L300 can seat up to 17 people, with air-conditioning and extra space for luggage. It can also come as a delivery van with a freezer-type cab for delivering perishable and frozen goods, among others. Beating within its many faces is a 2.2L 4N14 Euro 4-compliant diesel engine, coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission. In the Philippines, there is an L300 Cab waiting to be of good service from Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation.
Launch

The light commercial vehicle would steadily receive minor updates until the environmental laws in the Philippines would require vehicles to have at least a EURO 4 emissions rating.
In April of 2019, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines would announce that it would be returning the popular light commercial vehicle into the market this time with a new motor. It would now come with a 2.2-liter diesel engine that makes 97hp and 200 Nm of torque. It would still be available with an FB as well as a cab and chassis variant. Its overall exterior look would remain the same, however, the cab would be raised slightly to accommodate the new engine. A new grille and bumper that includes a new air dam would also be given to the updated vehicle.
