PRICE RISE FOR TRITON

THE 2022 Mitsubishi Triton has been updated for the MY22.5 – with a price rise to reflect the added spec. Mitsubishi says the updated MY22.5 model is scheduled to arrive in showrooms toward the middle of this year.

The GLX Single Cab Chassis, GLX Club Cab Chassis and GLX Double Cab Chassis – all 4x4 variants – are now $1000 dearer. Meanwhile, the top-spec GSR Double Cab Pick-up now lists at $55,690, up from $53,240.

The top-spec Triton GSR will now come with the carmaker’s Smartphone link Display Audio system as standard, which comprises a Multi-around Monitor to give occupants a 360-degree bird’s eye view of the ute – handy for tight bush tracks.

Lower-spec Cab-chassis and GLX pickup variants have been updated with the 7.0-inch Midisplay infotainment system, bringing with it Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity. The only vehicle that now retains the 6.1-inch touchscreen Display Audio unit with CD player and two speakers is the entrylevel GLX Cab Chassis 4x2 manual.

As seen on MY22 vehicles, Mitsubishi will continue to offer interior option packs for both its GLS dual-cab and Triton GSR grades. The GLS Deluxe package comprises leather-appointed seat trim, powered driver’s seat adjustment, heated front seats, door trims with leather-appointed inserts, and a Multi-around Monitor system. The GSR Tan Orange Pack dresses the Triton with orange highlights throughout the cabin – an orange console box, orange stitching on the door trims, steering wheel, gear shifter and park brake, and orange highlights on the leather-appointed seats.

All Triton 4x4 variants are powered by Mitsubishi’s 133kw-430nm MIVEC 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine, which can be paired to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
