Mitsubishi has handed the Triton a fresh face. However, the redesign applies only to a single model sold overseas.
The new Mitsubishi Triton, which we evaluated for a road test in the March 2025 issue of CAR magazine, has received a new face in Thailand. However, exclusive to the Street variant sold in the latter market, there’s been no confirmation whether the redesign will be applied to other derivatives in the future.
The revamped front end features a more angular grille, replete with diagonal inserts, and revised lower bumper. The Street variant further gains a set of new 17-inch alloy wheels, finished in black.
The Street derivative employs Mitsubishi’s familiar 2.4-litre, four-cylinder single-turbo diesel motor, tuned to churn out 110 kW and 330 N.m of torque. Power is delivered to the road via a rear-wheel drivetrain, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.
As a reminder, in South Africa, the 2.4-litre unit develops 81 kW/200 N.m in the single-cab models and entry-level double-cab derivative, and 135 kW/430 N.m in the remaining variants. However, as we noted in Every bakkie confirmed for SA in 2026, a more powerful 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, which is equipped with two turbochargers, will be introduced to the Japanese automaker’s local Triton lineup this year. The new twin-turbocharged unit churns out 150 kW and 470 N.m; increases of 15 kW and 40 N.m over that of the 2.4-litre single-turbo oil-burner.
