MITSUBISHI Motors South Africa welcomes the introduction of the completely redesigned Mitsubishi Triton.
The 2017 model, the fifth in the Colt/Triton lineage, is the most advanced pick-up ever to be developed by Mitsubishi with its balanced combination of true SUV-like road manners with heavy-duty workhorse capabilities.
The all-new Triton arrives in South Africa after establishing itself as a customer favourite in markets such as Australia, Brazil, Europe and the Middle East.
In South Africa, the range will be premiered by the Mitsubishi Triton 2.4 Di-DC MIVEC Double Cab.
The new Mitsubishi Triton arrives on local shores after being comprehensively redesigned while retaining those highly-rated features that made previous models extremely popular.
From the onset, the brief to designers and engineers was to maintain the essence of the Triton, but also to improve on aspects of ride, handling and comfort to create a truly SUV-like experience from behind the wheel.
Engineers have improved 185 key areas of the Triton, compared to its predecessor, ranging from deepening and reinforcing the loading bay, revising the shape of the bonnet for aerodynamic efficiency and refining the driving position for improved in-vehicle visibility and comfort.
Other famous elements such as the distinct J-line between the cabin and the load bay have been reworked for benchmark interior space.
This is immediately apparent to all passengers, particularly those seated in the back of the double-cab models.
The sculpted bonnet, bold grille and wrap-around headlights flow into a deep shoulder-line that connects to the new taillights and a curved tailgate that now facilitates effortless one-handed operation.
The integrated brake light on the tailgate can’t be obscured like those on cab-mounted versions.
The Mitsubishi Triton is fitted with a next-generation aluminium block four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.
The 2.4 MIVEC engine features an all-aluminium cylinder block construction with reinforced steel piston sleeves for durability and an integrated common rail direct injection system.
Power delivery is rated at 133kW at 3 500 rpm with torque peaking at 430 Nm at 2 500 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 7.6 litres per 100 km in a combined cycle.
