Next-Gen Triton Arrives in SA: Full Specs and Pricing Unveiled
The South African bakkie market is a battlefield. Every manufacturer wants a piece of the action, and the competition is fierce. But Mitsubishi has just launched a new contender that might just have what it takes to shake things up: the Next-Gen Triton.
This isn't just a minor facelift. Mitsubishi has gone back to the drawing board and completely redesigned the Triton from the ground up. And the result is a bakkie that's more capable, more refined, and more technologically advanced than ever before.
One of the biggest surprises is the price. Starting at R474,995 for the single cab GL 4x2 manual, the Triton undercuts many of its rivals. That's right, you can get behind the wheel of this rugged machine without breaking the bank.
Now, don't think "affordable" means "underpowered." The new 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine pumps out a respectable 135kW and a stump-pulling 430Nm of torque. Need more options? There's a 2.4-litre petrol engine available too, delivering 81kW and 200Nm for those who prefer petrol power. Whichever you choose, you'll have the muscle to tackle any job, from hauling building supplies to towing a boat.
But this is South Africa, and we know a bakkie needs to be more than just a workhorse. It needs to handle the rough stuff. And the Triton delivers. The Super Select 4WD-II system offers four modes to conquer any terrain, from gravel roads to sandy tracks. Hill Descent Control and Active Yaw Control keep you in control, even when things get hairy.
Step inside, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The cabin is spacious, refined, and packed with technology. An eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto dominates the dashboard, while a seven-inch multi-information display keeps you informed.
And here's the cherry on top: Mitsubishi is so confident in this new Triton that they're offering a class-leading warranty. Five years, unlimited mileage – that's right, you can drive this thing to Timbuktu and back without worrying about warranty woes.
With its blend of rugged capability, refined comfort, and competitive pricing, the Next-Gen Triton is a serious contender in the South African bakkie market. Whether you're a farmer, an adventurer, or just need a reliable daily driver, the Triton deserves a place on your shortlist.
The bakkie wars are raging, and Mitsubishi has just thrown down the gauntlet. Things are about to get interesting.
