Triton_Mivec-1

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) officially launched the upgraded Mitsubishi Triton VGT this morning in Bangsar, KL. The headlining new item is the 2.4 litre MIVEC VGT turbodiesel engine with 181 PS at 3,500 rpm, and 430 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm.

When this generation of Triton was launched in Malaysia back in May 2015, we received an improved version of the familiar 2.5 litre VGT unit with 178 PS and 400 Nm (+50 Nm), instead of the 2.4L MIVEC available in the Land of Smiles. This update brings our Triton in-line with the Thai-spec truck, and an extra 3 PS and 30 Nm of torque for less road tax.

The reason given by MMM then was that our fuel quality isn’t ideal for the 2.4L “Clean Diesel” engine, which is more powerful and up to 15% more fuel efficient than the 2.5L. Well, Euro 5 diesel is now available in Malaysia, and so is the new engine. MMM says that the 2.4L can run on Euro 2 diesel without problems as well.

The new 2.4L engine is the first diesel unit to use the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing Electronic Control system previously only available in the firm’s petrol engines. The motor’s aluminium alloy block is also a first in the segment, and saves around 30 kg compared to a cast iron block.

MMM claims that overall acceleration and driving performance have been improved thanks to the boosted figures and lower weight, although no figures were shared. The timing chain engine (replaces timing belt) also delivers a quieter and more comfortable driving experience with better NVH, it is claimed.

The engine is mated to MMC’s Easy Select 4WD (rotary knob, shift on the fly at up to 100 km/h) and a five-speed automatic transmission with sports mode, or a new six-speed manual (from 5MT) for the Triton VGT 4×4 MT variant. The VGT MT also gains the rotary 4WD dial that replaces the previous gear stick.

There’s a new Triton VGT Adventure X variant as the flagship of the range. The X comes with the usual Adventure gear plus extra goodies such as a shield extender for the front bumper, dual-tone 17-inch alloys and a new sports bar with full box (fully covered bed). The latter in black, and so is the grille (matte black, chrome on other variants). One can choose from two exclusive colours – the distinctive Impulse Blue and Titanium Grey.

The existing Triton VGT AT & VGT MT variants have also received upgrades. Besides the new engine and the 6MT for the row it yourself variant, the entry VGT models gain automatic bi-xenon HID headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights and rear fog lamps.

Between these and the VGT Adventure X is the still present VGT Adventure, the previous range topper with kit such as auto headlamps and wipers, dual-zone air con, leather seats, Bluetooth, reverse camera, cruise control and paddle shifters. Earth Green and Solid Red are exclusive colours for the Adventure. The Adventure X gets all these items, plus the above-mentioned new gear.

This update involves the Variable Geometry Turbo variants only. The non-VGT Triton 4×4 MT and workhorse Triton Quest 4×2 MT continue as before. There are now six variants in total.

The Triton VGT Adventure X is priced at RM125,005 on the road without insurance, a couple of grand costlier than the RM118,198 Triton VGT Adventure. The VGT AT and VGT MT are priced at RM109,446 and RM102,619 respectively. The factory warranty is three years or 100,000 km, and MMM includes two years of free service as well.

      At times like this, be a smart buyer and don’t be an early bird. Wait a few months after launch before deciding because carmakers are desperate for sales and will give big discounts to entice buyers. Case in point: the new Hilux. Not yet 6 months launched, already got high rebates and will only keep increasing until year end.

    The Adventure model is good enough since the X model is more to cosmetic upgrades BUT where the heck is the VSC?? Side curtain airbags also missing but stability control is very important.

    First said 2.4 not bought in cos fuel not ideal, then said can run on Euro 2 diesel without problems.

    If can run on Euro 2 with no problem, then why say it wasn’t brought in due to fuel not ideal???

    Apparently somebody forget to remind Mitsubishi Malaysia to include any form of ESP or VSC to the Triton. With price of over RM100k is it too much to ask for a VSC? I mean come on!

    Ooi MMM! nyawa orang Malaysia tak berharga ka? Berapa lu boleh untung dengan cabut itu ESP sama 5 airbags? Jgn jadilah macam Toyota. Orang lain Nissan, Ford, Isuzu semua kasi lu ESP, apa susah sangat kalau MMM buat sama?

    So many new features but missing the most important safety feature for tall vehicles – ESC. Your move Isuzu.

      Isuzu equips some of the higher-spec D-Max with ESC. Unfortunately, only Mitsubishi holds the dubious distinction of having none of their Triton equipped with ESC. I was hoping they will equip at least the Adventure with it. Alas, profit margins seems to be more important for MMM than safety of their customers.

        Because wanna save a few penny by excluding ESC, now it’s 100% not recommended buy.

        Alas, lose sale, later throw huge discount. Yet, nobody with brain would still not recommend it.

      Yup agree..but paul n geng, can u guys do a complete comparison n review on pick-up with manual transmission between Triton VGT 2.4 MT vs Toyota Hilux 2.4G MT vs Ford Ranger XLT 2.2 MT. I think pickup 4WD is better in manual transmission bcause it more fun to drive. All this three among best options for manual transmission pickup in Malaysia

        I agreed as well. Manual transmission hard to compare because it requires driving techniques. For car I tested ranger, Dmax, triton are much more faster 0-100 than automatic transmission if start from 2nd gear. If start from 1st gear then cannot compete with the automatic transmission.

    “The Triton VGT Adventure X is priced at RM125,005 on the road without insurance, a couple of grand costlier than the RM118,198 Triton VGT Adventure”

    Is there a typo? Cause a couple means two. That’s about 7k difference.

    The first ever diesel with MIVEC is the 4N13 1.8-liter used in the ASX, followed by the 2.3-liter 4N14. This 2.4-liter 4N15 is the third and latest MIVEC diesel engine.

    It looks very nice and unique. But dislike the full box.

    “The reason given by MMM then was that our fuel quality isn’t ideal for the 2.4L “Clean Diesel” engine, which is more powerful and up to 15% more fuel efficient than the 2.5L. Well, Euro 5 diesel is now available in Malaysia, and so is the new engine. MMM says that the 2.4L can run on Euro 2 diesel without problems as well.”

    Which is which? Is it due to diesel quality they didn’t bring in the new 2.4? But now it says the new 2.4 can run fine with Euro2 diesel??

      Not yet 6 months launched already got so much discount? Looks like UMW really desperate for sales. I already said once Toyota fanboys bought the early batches of Hilux, UMW will have trouble. Tough luck for those early birds cause the discounts will keep on increasing. Expect 6k discount and extra accessories by year end for the Hilux.

    MMM probably brought in the 2.5 because it was cheaper, thus bigger profit margin. Now the competition is stiffer and MMM needed a USP for the Triton. The new 2.4 is this USP. Unfortunately, MMM still stingy about ESC.

      bro you are right. this year before the facelift, MMM only has 2015 stock of pre-facelift adventure to sell. they can’t even finish 2015 to bring in pre-facelift 2016 adventure.

    I would say the interior & the front looks good if not spot on. The Blue Metallica looks good too. With all the bells & whistles, MMM should sell the triton by the load truck. Unfortunately for MMM, our smart & knowledgeable drivers knows their 4WD better than MMM. You have lost many sales by omitting VSC

    Hilux 3.0 all the way. Been using it since last year and loving it. No VSC no problem, it depend on how you driving it. Remember, this is a truck we’re talking about, high centre of gravity. This is not a sedan or a sport’s car, drive accordingly la… Peace.
