We video test the 2019 Mitsubishi Triton 4WD VRX

The 2019 Mitsubishi Triton utility has arrived and has started making waves already, surging sales for the triple diamond brand to number three in the registration charts, all on the back of the utility’s redesigned tray. 

Of course, the back end of the ute is only part of the picture. Up the front is where most of the magic has happened for the Mitsubishi Triton.

Now strengthened, reimagined and seriously beefed up, the Triton has established the Diamond shield front face which is going to be the defining look for Mitsubishi product for a few years to come. 

Under the bonnet, the tried and true 2.4-litre MIVEC turbo diesel has not seen a great deal of upgrading, but then why fix what’s not busted?

On the other hand, Mitsubishi has introduced a six-speed automatic and a six-speed manual transmission, which cranks out 135kW of Power and 437Nm of Torque. It has transformed the performance of the Triton though, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable and more engaging drive experience while sipping 8.6L per/100 km.

The Super Select II all-wheel-drive dial up system with a terrain selection mode is among the Triton’s new tech upgrades as is a breathed on suspension setup, 7” touchscreen, smarter connectivity functions, an all-round multi view camera, upgraded safety features and a novel method of transferring cooled air from the front cabin to the rear are all part and parcel of the new look Mitsubishi Triton.

With everything from a single cab chassis through to the top end VRX leather-equipped dual cab model, Triton has retained its all variants for all players range versatility and even without the special pricing to launch the line-up, Mitsubishi has kept its pricing to the competitive level without compromise consumers have come to expect from the brand, along with the Diamond Advantage 10 year Powertrain warranty programme.
