Now in its sixth generation, the Next-Gen Triton has been completely redesigned from the ground up.
The frontal design incorporates the Dynamic Shield with a three-dimensional front grille, fenders and a bumper that emphasise this form. The daytime running lights feature three L-shaped LED lights.
The horizontally themed design features large, solid surfaces while contrasting with the sharply overhanging fender panels. The cabin shape and rear spoiler have been designed with optimum aerodynamic efficiency in mind. The side steps come standard with slip resistance finish whilst up to 18 inch wheels are offered. Roll bar, chrome mirrors and a tonneau cover enhance the design. At the rear T-shaped taillights on both sides emphasise width while also enforcingthe sturdy design.
The extensive model range includes three special editions that have been tailored specifically for South African customers. The Mitsubishi Triton Xtreme Edition gets Xtreme decals, a black grille emblem, door handle protectors, wheel arch and side door mouldings, side window deflectors, roof rails, door handle protectors, B-Pillar sashes, light covers, a rubberised load bin and 17-inch mag wheels fitted with Dunlop AT5 tyres.
A spacious, refined cabin with high-quality materials and advanced noise-reduction technology creates a comfortable driving experience, whether you’re navigating city streets or open trails. An eight-inch infotainment system is positioned at eye level for ease of use and features smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and an easy-to-read display. Ahead of the driver is a seven-inch multi-information display that offers all the necessary information at a glance and allows drivers to easily understand the vehicle’s status.
Front seat adjustment range in all models is also segment leading. Rear seats in double cab models offer class leading shoulder and knee room by a significant margin, thanks in part to front seat backs that were designed with this in mind.
There is a new 2.4 Litre 4-Cylinder Turbodiesel credited with 135kW at 3 500rpm and 430Nm between 2 250 and 2 500rpm. This engine is paired to either a six-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission with shift by wire technology.
GL models are fitted with 2.4-litre DI-DC engine that offers 81kW at 4000rpm and 200Nm between 1000 and 3750rpm and which is paired to a five-speed manual transmission.
High rider 2WD and 4WD models also feature completely redesigned front and rear suspension systems. Super Select 4WD-II is Mitsubishi Motors’ 4WD all-terrain system for on-road and off-road. Drivers can choose from four different modes, selected via a dial selector to match the various road conditions. A unique feature is that 4H can be selected while driving at speeds of up to 100km/h.
The Diamond Advantage Warranty includes a five-year/unlimited mileage, unrestricted warranty as well as a five-year/90 000km service plan.
