2015 Mitsubishi Triton ute world premiere - Motoring
The first new-generation Mitsubishi Triton ute in eight years is coming to Australia in mid-2015, promising to deliver more utility, safety, efficiency and improved comfort levels. Launched in Thailand today, from where Australian models will be sourced, the new fifth-generation Triton will compete in Australia's light commercial vehicle segment, doing battle with perennial favourites such as the top-selling Toyota HiLux and... The Triton is currently the third-best selling light commercial ute in Australia. Boasting "muscular, sleek and dynamic styling" the new 2015 Triton now features obligatory LED running lights and is being pitched as more user-friendly than its predecessor. Improved refinement levels come via the adoption of an all-aluminium 2. 4-litre turbo-diesel engine which, for the Thai market, pumps out 133kW/430Nm, as well as improved insulation materials and a new aerodynamic exterior. It is 20 per cent more fuel efficient than the previous range-topping 2. 5-litre turbo-diesel (130kW/400Nm) according to Mitsubishi, which will be retained in some markets, albeit with "improvements". Mitsubishi Motors Australia will retain the popular three body style Triton range, including single cab, club and double cab body types, with rear and four-wheel drive available.
