Not long after spyshots of the facelifted Mitsubishi Triton surfaced, Mitsubishi has released a teaser of its updated pick-up truck, which means that a formal unveiling should be around the corner.
From the sole photo provided, the refreshed front fascia is front and centre, and it’s clear that Mitsubishi hasn’t just slapped the Pajero Sport‘s face on. The Triton will wear the latest version of the Dynamic Shield design language, with slim headlights up top and larger secondary lamp units low down and pushed to the corners of the bumper – similar to what you’d find on the new Eclipse Cross SUV and Xpander MPV.
Unlike the latter, the upper lamp units still house the main beam and LED daytime running lights, with the lower units only featuring the indicators and fog lights. As with other models in Mitsubishi’s stable, the facelifted Triton will get a two-bar grille and chrome trim pieces framing the entire front end. Also visible in the image are new six-spoke alloy wheels, and redesigned tail lights are also expected to appear.
It’s unclear if the facelifted Triton will get any updates to the powertrain, or if it will soldier on with the same 181 PS/430 Nm 2.4 litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine as before. With this new face, the Triton will finally look more like the GR-HEV Concept that previewed this generation back in 2013.

What a lovely car. Don’t know why Proton could not design a proper pickup and could only design the junk jumback ie arena. Brainless company
When the Arena was still being produced, Mitsubishi was producing the 3rd gen L200 lah, not the Triton. Put an Arena and L200 single cab side-by-side, it’s the Arena that looks better. Brainless comment.
At that time Mitsubishi Storm was the best looking pickup
Useless comment from resident Proton basher. This article is about Mitsubishi and their Triton pickup. Nothing to do with Proton. Stay on topic or just stop writing nonsense.
Arena was ahead of their time, less people prefer pickup at that time. Nowadays, people are really searching for that car, especially those grass cutting contract guys. Come on proton, time for a new pickup. Sure you guys can come up with something interesting
Arena/jumbuck was veli popular in Aussie. But even now their niche Ute market is shrinking due to they no longer produce indigenous Aussie cars (like Utes) there anymore. What a shame.
I bet your head is just an empty chamber, no brain inside.. This article is about Mitsubishi Triton, not Proton.. One more thing, you’re talking about a car produced during the early 2000, now is 2018, you numbskull..
what the hell does this triton face lift have to do with P1??
please la, everyone here tired of you connecting every article with imaginary dots to P1.
I’ve been waiting days! I missed the Paultan articles.
Mitsu starting to rebadge Nissan line-up…
Right now they just doing facelifts after facelifts. Mitsu still sell dinosar Lancer even after P1 stop producing the Inspira version. This Jepunis lord is reduced to 3rd minor lord alredi. What a shame.
It’s really going to suck big time for other motorist if Mitsubishi mounts those main beams that high up.
There should be a law and standards to govern headlamp heights. They do in US. Not so sure they do it here.
Same with all other trucks and SUVs with high mounted main beams like HID or LED. The last gen CRV with Leads were particularly nasty at that.
