The October-launched 2024 Mitsubishi Triton is now being offered with two years’ free service and fuel rewards for a limited time only, while stocks last. This is on top of a free foldable storage bag worth RM450 for the first 500 online bookers, which has been running since launch.
The 2024-2025 Japan Design Car of the Year sports a more rugged look than its predecessor, inside and out. Malaysia gets five variants – the RM101,980 Single Cab, RM114,980 MT GL, RM116,980 AT GL, RM145,980 AT Premium and the range-topping RM165,980 Athlete.
The Athlete packs the most potent version of the new Hyperpower 4N16 2.4 litre turbodiesel engine, which outputs 204 PS and 470 Nm of twist. The engine produces 184 PS and 430 Nm of torque in all other variants. All gearboxes have six speeds, manual or auto depending on variant.
Available safety kit includes forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, lane change assist, rear cross-traffic alert and more. The airbag count is seven for the Athlete and Premium; three for both GL variants. Warranty is five years/unlimited mileage for the Triton Athlete if you book before the year is up; all other variants get a five-year/200,000 km warranty.

I haven’t even seen one new Triton on the road, only noticed a lot sitting in stockyards. And I am in Miri, a city in Sarawak where Ford Raptor V6 and Toyota Hilux GRS are very common.
In the old days, GL meant Grand Luxe. But now, GL means Grand Loser… in the safety department, for the Triton AT and MT. To paraphrase Hafriz: “downright unacceptable!”. Just shows how “much” Mitsubishi cares about their customers while charging over RM102K. I think car makers these days are increasingly low in wisdom by compromising on safety on base models, and also in general reducing buttons and dials while increasing touchscreen sizes.
