The Mitsubishi Triton is a lynchpin model for the Japanese brand in Australia, currently accounting for 40 per cent of its sales this year as the popular ute enters the twilight period of its current generation.
As such, the triple-diamond brand is continuing to offer solid deals on its all-important tray-backed model, and in this case the focus is on the 2022 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R Double Cab Pick-Up 4x4 auto.
Normally retailing for $47,190 plus on-road costs, Mitsubishi is offering the mid-series Triton dual-cab – which is right in the sweet spot of the brand’s 4x4 range – for $49,990 drive-away for private buyers.
That represents a considerable saving when you consider on-road costs such as dealer delivery, stamp duty, registration and third-party insurance tend to run into the thousands of dollars, depending on the state or territory.
What’s more, ABN buyers are offered the same deal for an even smarter price of 49,490 drive-away.
If a prestige SUV is more your style, consider the current deal running on carsales for the MY21 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport, which has its on-road costs thrown in holus-bolus.
So the RRP becomes drive-away for the Stelvio Sport at $69,950. That’s a lot of attractive Italian sheet-metal for the money, with a high level of standard equipment and solid mechanicals based around a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with eight-speed sports automatic transmission.
Where the budget is tighter, MG is offering an enticing deal on the top-selling light car in Australia, the MG3.
Normally retailing for $19,490 plus on-road costs, the top-spec MY22 MG3 Excite is currently available for $20,490 drive-away.
It’s fitted standard with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a four-speed automatic transmission.
