2024 Mitsubishi Triton pricing and specs announced

By Carsales Staff

The order books are now officially open for the all-new 2024 Mitsubishi Triton.

Before you rush out the door, there’s a lot to know about the sixth-generation ute range, with both good and bad news.

The good news is there is still wide range of model variants, from utilitarian workhorses to family-friendly weekend play mobiles, all of which feature more equipment, upgraded safety features, more power and improved driving dynamics.

The bad news is the full model range won’t be available immediately and prices have gone up across the board.

So, let’s dive into the all-new Mitsubishi Triton to see what’s what.

For starters, the sixth-generation Triton will start arriving in local showrooms from early this year, initially available in just five model grades – a single extra cab variant in the GLX+ Pick-Up, and five dual-cab Pick-Up models, starting from the entry-level GLX through the GLX+, GLS and GSR. All versions feature all-wheel drive transmissions with an automatic gearbox.

Single-cab, cab-chassis and manual versions of selected models won’t become available until later in 2024, followed by plug-in hybrid and, eventually, EV versions.

A full range of genuine accessories will also be available but is yet to be detailed, and the all-auto launch line-up will come with an updated version of the current model’s six-speed automatic transmission, rather than the Pajero Sport’s eight-speed auto.

The entry-level 2024 Triton GLX Double Cab Pick-Up 4x2 auto has been priced at $43,690 plus on-road costs (up from $40,440), while the flagship GSR Double Cab Pick-Up 4x4 auto will cost $63,840 plus ORCs – up from $56,940, marking a substantial $6900 increase.

At that price, the range-topping Triton still undercuts premium dual-cab 4x4 auto rivals like the Ford Ranger Wildtrak (from $67,990), Isuzu D-MAX X-Terrain ($67,500) and Toyota HiLux Rogue ($70,670), but not the volume-selling HiLux SR5 auto ($62,490).

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited previously said the new Triton would continue to undercut its key rivals on price in a bid to retain its traditional position as the nation’s third most popular ute behind the HiLux and Ranger and blamed the price hikes on production and shipping cost increases that are affecting the entire auto industry.

“New-gen Triton has significantly improved over its predecessor across several key areas. We are confident that once people drive the vehicle, they will appreciate the major step forward this vehicle presents,” said an MMAL spokesperson.

“It is more powerful, more efficient, more technologically advanced, safer, stronger, larger, more ergonomic, better specified and more comfortable. It also has increased towing capacity and enhanced off-road capability.

“Combined, we feel these advancements represent significant customer benefit.

“New component and supplier sourcing naturally leads to increased costs, especially when compared to the previous-generation vehicle (which had such costs amortised over many years). This, plus increased parts and logistics costs throughout the chain, have led to a more expensive vehicle to produce and deliver.”

2024 Mitsubishi Triton dimensions and performance

Partly developed in Australia for local road conditions, the new Mitsubishi Triton dual-cab is 15mm longer than before at 5320mm, 50mm wider at 1865mm and rides on a 130mm-longer 3130mm wheelbase, liberating a 35mm-longer tray (1555mm) and 49mm more shoulder-room (1479mm) in the cabin.

Under the bonnet there’s a more powerful 150kW/470Nm 2.4-litre twin-turbo diesel engine that increases towing capacity by 400kg to a competitive 3500kg and the new ‘Bi-Turbo’ engine – incorporating a small turbo for fast response at low revs and a larger turbo for top-end performance – now all but matches the most popular utes for peak power (up from 133kW).

Its higher torque is now delivered over a wider 1500-2750rpm band but still falls slightly short of the HiLux and Ranger, while out-muscling the 140kW/450Nm outputs of the D-MAX, Mazda BT-50 and Nissan Navara.

Mitsubishi claims its first twin-turbo Triton delivers “exceptional response and low-rev pulling power and a linear torque delivery throughout the rev range”, while addition of idle-stop tech helps reduce fuel consumption from 8.6 to 7.7L/100km for all 4x4 variants (and 7.5L/100km for the GLX Double Cab 4x2 workhorse).

A comprehensive safety suite will be standard across the range, including Forward Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection, cyclist detection and junction assist, a centre airbag and, in a first for the ute class, Front Cross Traffic Alert and Driver Monitoring System.

“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,” he said.
