New Mitsubishi Triton rendered
Next-generation Mitsubishi Triton ute unofficially unmasked, boasting a bigger and edgier lookThe sixth-generation 2023 Mitsubishi Triton won’t be officially revealed until early next year, but the latest unofficial renders provide a tantalising preview of the incoming dual-cab ute.
Set to roll into Aussie showrooms in the second half of 2023, the new Triton is a key model for the Japanese brand, with the current model soaking up 40 per cent of Mitsubishi’s total sales this year.
The new look for Triton, penned by Nikita Chiuko and posted to Instagram, matches up with spy photos snapped in Europe recently, including a squarer take on Mitsubishi’s ‘dynamic shield’ grille.
The broader-looking front-end design adopts the current one-tonne ute trend of channelling full-size US pick-up truck visuals to give the ute a bigger, bolder look – not unlike the new Ford Ranger.
The up-spec model pictured is likely a Triton GSR and brings a hint of bling to the table with chrome accents around the tiered headlight clusters, kicking off with LED daytime running lights sitting flush underneath the clamshell bonnet.
The main beams are clustered below, drawing parallels with the Mitsubishi Outlander design, and LED fog lights sit on the bottom rung.
The all-new 2023 Mitsubishi Triton is expected to retain similar dimensions in terms of length and width to the current model, but its revised ladder-frame chassis should afford more room within the cabin and in the tray.
Mitsubishi’s revised platform should also deliver improvements to on-road refinement and off-road capability, while delivering larger LCD screens in the cabin.
Expect a 3500kg towing capacity to remain – although whether this is retained for the all-but-confirmed hybrid version is unknown at present.
Whether the Mitsubishi Triton soldiers on with a revised version of its 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine (133kW/430Nm) or gets a brand-new powertrain also remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely it will offer six-cylinder power like the new Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok.
Development of the new Triton will continue until its global unveiling early next year.
Its new platform architecture will also underpin the next-generation Nissan Navara due in 2024 and a new ute from Renault.
