Mitsubishi Triton priced for 2024

MITSUBISHI has priced its incoming Triton for the local market, the pick-up range in dealerships from February 2024 priced from $43,690 plus on-road costs.

That figure represents a $3250 increase over the same variant from the outgoing range, while elsewhere in the line-up we find price hikes or up to $7600, the range now topping out at $63,840 plus on-road costs (see full pricing information below).

While cheaper entry-grade variants and other body styles are expected following the initial launch, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton range will commence initially with Club- and Double-Cab pick-up body styles in two- and four-wheel drive configuration, all powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine.

Mitsubishi seems to have positioned these first few Triton variants between above the aging Nissan Navara and below the Isuzu D-Max that, in turn, is priced below the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

The updated Triton engine now develops 150kW at 3500rpm and 470Nm from 1500-2750rpm, an increase of 17kW/40Nm over the single-turbo predecessor. From launch, a six-speed automatic transmission is the only unit available, however GoAuto understands a six-speed manual will also be offered across selected grades in due course.

Braked towing capacity steps up by 400kg to match the majority of segment rivals at 3500kg.

Standard idle-stop technology helps improve fuel consumption and emissions, the range now sipping as little as 7.5 litres per 100km (199g/km) in 4x2 format and 7.7 litres per 100km (200g/km) in 4x4 guise.

Equipment highlights for the Triton GLX include 17-inch steel wheels, a black grille, cloth upholstery, vinyl flooring, climate control, a 7.0-inch digital instrument panel, native sat-nav, USB-A and USB-C charging ports front and rear, a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment array, wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity, four-speaker sound and Bluetooth connectivity.

The GLX+ grade adds 17-inch alloys, rear differential lock, front fog lights, a high-mounted LED brake light, rear window privacy glass, rear auto emergency braking (AEB), 360-degree cameras and DAB+ digital radio reception.

The penultimate GLS grade adopts 18-inch alloys, Super Select II four-wheel drive system with locking centre differential, heavy-duty rear suspension, a tray bed liner, heated wing mirrors, LED exterior lighting, a gloss black grille, dual-zone climate control, terrain- and hill descent control, keyless entry and ignition, an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, and a wireless device charger.

Optionally, the GLS is further offered with leather upholstery, heated front seats and power driver’s seat adjustment for an extra $1500.

The flagship GSR variant adds 18-inch alloys in black, a body-coloured grille, wheel arch mouldings, styling bar, roof rails, leather upholstery with orange stitching, GSR-branded floor mats and power driver’s seat adjustment.

A broadened safety suite now includes front cross-traffic alert and a driver monitoring system in addition to forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, cyclist detection, and junction assist, rear AEB, and a centre airbag.

Paint colours extend to eight with red and white the only solid options. Metallic, mica and prestige hues include White Diamond, Black Mica, Blade Silver, Graphite Grey, Impulse Blue, and Yamabuki Orange.

“(The) New-Gen Triton presents another step-change for the Mitsubishi Motors product portfolio,” said MMAL CEO Shaun Westcott.

“Being a core market for the Mitsubishi Motors brand, and with Triton being a core model for Australia, the importance of this vehicle cannot be overstated, and we are very proud to have played a key role in its development.

“The New-Gen Mitsubishi Triton takes the Triton’s essence – reliability, capability, dependability – and significantly enhances them, while adding latest-generation safety technologies, more power and torque, more space, more load carrying capacity and a truly distinctive style.

“Following the success of the new Outlander, New-Gen Triton is another huge step forward for Mitsubishi.”
