Comparison: doors Mitsubishi L300 vs. competitors 2025

The Mitsubishi L300 has stayed consistent with its five-door layout since its inception in the early '90s. While the fundamental door structure has remained the same, the build quality, materials, and accessibility features have undoubtedly evolved. Early versions had basic manual doors, but as customer demands and technology progressed, the L300 saw the introduction of more refined materials and user-friendly features like sliding doors for easier access to the rear. Despite these advancements, the practical essence of the vehicle has stayed unaltered, making it a go-to choice for various needs. Whether you're loading up parcels for a delivery or going on a family trip, the five-door setup remains as functional as ever.

When comparing the L300's doors to other models from the Mitsubishi family, a pattern of uniformity emerges. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, ASX, Colt, and Space Star all come equipped with five doors. You’d be forgiven for thinking they’re all quite similar just based on door count alone. However, the devil, as they say, is in the details. While the L300 and Eclipse Cross may both pack five doors, the Eclipse Cross offers a more compact form which might make it a more appealing choice for urban environments. The Space Star, on the other hand, occupies the middle ground, providing a balance of space and accessibility. Still, none of these options can trump the sheer utility of the L300’s larger and more accessible doors, perfectly designed for commercial use and larger cargo loads.

Now, let's unleash the L300 against some of its hot-blooded competitors. The Ford Ka+ and the Nissan Cube are ensnared in the clutches of this five-door brigade, just like our hero. Yet, it’s here where the L300 flexes its muscles. The Cube might offer a slightly taller height, but hand on heart, it still doesn’t match the L300’s utility-centric design. The Ka+ is also in the five-door club but brings along a smaller wheelbase, which, while advantageous in tight urban spots, doesn’t hold a candle to the spaciousness of the L300. Rivals like the Mazda MX-3 and the VW Vento fall short, with fewer doors and shorter wheelbases, emphasizing the Mitsubishi’s role as the best pick for those who require seamless access and considerable space.
