Mitsubishi Triton upgraded

An upgraded MY22.5 Mitsubishi Triton ute line-up has been announced and it could be the final update for Australia’s third-best-selling ute before the new-generation Triton arrives next year.

However, there’s no sign yet of the range-topping new Mitsubishi Triton Raider – a nameplate we expect Mitsubishi to apply to a new Triton flagship based on the top-spec GSR as a special swansong for the current generation.

For now, the MY22.5 update brings no change to the Triton model range – or its market-leading 10-year warranty – but minor tech updates for diesel Cab-Chassis, GLX and GSR Pick-Up variants, accompanied by price hikes ranging from $500 at base level to $2450 for the top-shelf GSR.

Echoing another round of price hikes just announced for the Isuzu D-MAX, as Ford prepares to announce pricing for its all-new Ranger, the MY22.5 Triton order book is open now before production begins later this month and first deliveries take place mid-year.

Headline news for the range-topping GSR Dual-Cab Pick-Up is the return of Mitsubishi’s proprietary 7.0-inch touch-screen infotainment system that was replaced by an aftermarket head unit earlier this year due to the global semi-conductor shortage.

Equipped with the Multi Around Monitor 360-degree camera, six speakers, digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity with voice control and audio streaming, and a HDMI port, the unit was deleted in favour of a 7.0-inch aftermarket touch-screen system called ‘MiDisplay’ in order to continue deliveries.

The latter is now standard in MY22.5 diesel Cab-Chassis and GLX Pick-Up variants and features Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming, digital radio, four speakers, both Apple and Android smartphone connectivity and a three-in-one USB to Lightning Type C and Micro USB cable.

The entry-level, petrol-powered GLX Cab Chassis 4x2 manual retains its 6.1-inch touch-screen display audio unit with CD player and two speakers.

Triton GLS Deluxe and GSR Tan Orange Interior option packages carry over from MY22, as does a wide range of genuine accessories including the GSR’s Roll Top Tonneau Pack.

Ten exterior paint colours continue to be available, as follows:
White (GLX, GLX+, GLX-R, GLS)
Sterling Silver Metallic (GLX, GLX+, GLX-R, GLS)
Graphite Grey Metallic (GLX, GLX+, GLX-R, GLS)
Red (GLX+, GLX-R, GLS)
Impulse Blue Metallic (GLX+, GLX-R, GLS)
Black Mica (GLX+, GLX-R, GLS, GSR)
White Diamond (GLX-R, GLS)
Graphite Grey Metallic with Black Roof (GSR)
Sunflare Orange Metallic with Black Roof (GSR)
White Diamond with Black Roof (GSR)

There are no other changes for the MY22.5 Mitsubishi Triton line-up, with grey/black fabric seat trim remaining standard on Triton GLX, GLX+ and GLX-R models, black/silver sports fabric trim staying for the GLS and black leather with contrasting silver stitching still found in the GSR.

Apart from the entry-level Triton GLX Single Cab Chassis 4x2’s 94kW 2.4-litre petrol engine and five-speed manual transmission (combined fuel consumption: 11.4L/100km), all other Tritons remain powered by a 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre turbo-diesel with the choice of 4x2 or 4x4, and six-speed manual (7.8L/100km) or automatic transmission (8.6L/100km).
