Mitsubishi Triton GL AT vs AT Premium
Verdict
This is a trim decision, not a drivetrain one. The Mitsubishi Triton GL AT costs RM116,980, while the Mitsubishi Triton AT Premium is RM145,980; the RM29,000 gap does not buy more pace or more metal. Both use a 2,442 cc diesel with 179 hp and 430 Nm, a conventional automatic, all-wheel drive and a 75-litre tank. The clear reason to stretch is safety kit: seven airbags and AEB versus three airbags and no AEB.
Pick the Mitsubishi Triton GL AT if you want the same diesel output, automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and body size for RM29,000 less.
Pick the Mitsubishi Triton AT Premium if seven airbags and auto emergency braking matter more than keeping the purchase price down.
