Mitsubishi is rolling out a freshly facelifted Triton bakkie for local buyers starting with a single-cab Triton GL aimed squarely at business users. Take a look at the specifications and pricing details for the Triton range below…
The Mitsubishi Triton has a loyal following in South Africa and its owners heap a ton of praise on this often overlooked offering.
In an effort to keep the Triton fresh and relevant in a fast-changing bakkie segment, Mitsubishi Motors is in the process of introducing an updated Triton and the single-cab Triton GL not only marks the start of the rollout but it also serves to broaden the market appeal by targeting business users who might need a capable workhorse for daily operation.
As far as styling goes, the Triton GL wears a black grille and has black door handles, mirrors, black bumper and black side steps. The Triton GL has a payload capacity of 1 ton and there are 4 cargo hooks in the load bin to secure goods. 16-inch steel wheels are fitted as standard.
Durable vinyl upholstery is fitted and air conditioning, automatic headlights and wipers are also standard as are electric windows and central locking. A total of 2 airbags are also standard as well as ABS with EBD.
“The launch of the Single Cab is firmly directed at the fleet and small business market and aimed to provide a cost-effective solution in the face of the steadily rising price of fuel and the recent repo rates hike,” explains Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at MMSA.
What engine powers the Mitsubishi Triton GL?
The Triton GL is a new cost-effective workhorse offering to serve business needs.
The Triton GL 4×2 single-cab bakkie is fitted with a 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine that produces 100 kW and 324 Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Mitsubishi claims an average fuel consumption figure of 8.0 L/100km. A limited-slip differential is also fitted to provide better traction.
Mitsubishi will be further expanding the Triton range in 2022 as well as bolstering its other product offerings such as the Pajero Sport and ASX.
“Looking ahead for Triton range we should end the year off with more than 10 derivates so there’s still a lot to be excited about with a few more additions to the Triton range on the horizon,” says Allison.
“This forms part of our 2023 product offensive, adding to Triton Xtreme 4×2 introduction, GL Double cab and a wider range of ASX Aspire, ASX ES and Pajero Sport Aspire.”
