Mitsubishi has announced a new design-focused Triton variant based on the range-topping GSR.
Priced from $63,140 plus on-road costs, the 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GSR Special Edition is $700 cheaper than the standard version and swaps out the controversial body-coloured grille for a more palatable dark grey unit.
Other enhancements include the removal of the black fender flares – making it look less knock-kneed – and the fitment of the GLX-R’s black sports bar in place of the usual sailplane unit.
Mitsubishi says the removal of the flares opens the Special Edition up to more personalisation options while showing off more of the chosen body colour, which for reference, are all identical to the standard version: Black Mica, Graphite Grey, Yamabuki Orange and White Diamond.
The same goes for the standard equipment list – the GSR Special Edition comes with all the toys of the full-time variant save for the changes detailed above.
Headline equipment therefore includes 18-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, soft interior padding, dash-mounted cup holders, power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless phone charging, auto-dimming rearview mirror and a 9.0-inch infotainment interface with smartphone mirroring.
No changes have been made to the 2.4-litre twin-turbo-diesel engine (150kW/470Nm), the six-speed automatic transmission it’s paired with, or the SuperSelect II 4x4 system.
New on all Triton variants produced as of November 2024 is an upgraded adaptive cruise control system that “remains engaged until the vehicle is fully stopped” – the previous set-up would disengage at 25km/h.
