Mitsubishi Triton Athlete now with reduced RM160k price, extra kit, 5yr free service for MMM’s 20th b’day

Lower price, more kit? Yup, the Mitsubishi Triton Athlete has a new deal, and it’s a good one. Not part of a sales promotion, this enhancement is in conjunction with Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s 20th anniversary.

So here’s the deal. The range-topping 204 PS/470 Nm Triton Athlete is now priced at RM159,980 on-the-road without insurance, which translates to a RM6,000 reduction from the original OTR price of RM165,980.

Along with the price revision is a spec adjustment that sees the addition of a front bumper garnish, styling bar, tailgate assist and decals. The front bumper garnish is essentially a silver ‘skid plate’ treatment with two ‘vents’ and black borders, but it massively improves the face and ‘macho level’ of the Triton, compared to the (rather strange) body colour original look.

Likewise, the sports bar and graphics makes the rear end of the truck look less ‘naked’. Overall, it’s a collection of small but impactful items that improves the looks of the Triton Athlete, which also looks more ‘top spec’ now.

“We are incredibly thankful for the trust and loyalty Malaysian have shown us. After nearly two decades, the Triton continues to be a symbol of strength, reliability, and trust among Malaysian drivers with close to 120,000 units sold. Over the years, the Triton has earned its reputation as a vehicle that delivers exceptional performance, whether on the road or off the beaten path,” said MMM CEO Shinya Ikeda.

“The enhanced Triton Athlete embodies our continued commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers. We’re proud to introduce this model as part of our 20th anniversary celebration and look forward to making it even more accessible to Malaysians nationwide,” he added.

The permanent revision detailed above is combined with MMM’s limited time 20th anniversary offers for an even better deal. Here, the Triton Athlete comes with a five-year free maintenance programme or up to RM8,000 rewards. This is on top of the standard five-year unlimited mileage factory warranty. MMM says that interest rates start from just 0.6% with Maybank or Public Bank – even more savings.

Finally, the company will be having a Scratch & Win contest from June 16. Those who book a Triton or Xpander facelift (any variant of the two models) will receive a scratch card upon registration and car collection. Prizes include the iPhone 16, iPad, iPods, Seiko watches and Thule products. What a birthday party this is turning out to be!
