Posted on December 7, 2024

Tokyo, 6 December 2024 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that the all-new Triton one-ton pickup truck has won the Design Car of the Year, awarded to car with excellent exterior and interior design, at the 2024-2025 Japan Car of the Year awards1. This is the second time that Mitsubishi Motors has received this award, following last year's recognition for the Delica Mini super height-wagon kei-car2.

In awarding the Design Car of the Year, the organizing committee commended Mitsubishi Motors for giving its signature 4WD a rugged yet inspiring design that encourages customers to explore a new lifestyle. The Triton was also recognized for its robust form that harmonizes with the bold Dynamic Shield front-end design, as well as its well-balanced proportions despite being a double cab.

Based on the “Beast Mode” design concept, the all-new Triton embodies the toughness and power expected of a pickup truck. It boasts an imposing look, expressing robustness as well as agility. The Dynamic Shield front design concept, which expresses both powerful performance and a sense of protection, is optimized for a pickup truck by combining robust, three-dimensional front grille with powerful fenders and protectors that emphasize its shape.

Inside, the instrument panel has been designed with the Horizontal Axis concept, featuring a strong, horizontally-themed design that allows drivers to easily notice changes in the vehicle’s posture while driving. With a nod to professional use, soft pads have been incorporated in key areas to protect passengers, while geometric shapes and metallic elements create a high-contrast, modern space. The switches are designed to be clearly visible, and the dials and switches can be operated even while wearing gloves. Following the Mitsubishi Touch approach, the steering wheel, grips and door handles are designed with a focus on grip comfort and sturdiness.

The Triton is a one-ton pickup truck that traces its roots back to the Forte, originally released in 1978. Since then, about 5.7 million units have been produced over five generations and sold in approximately 150 countries around the world, making it Mitsubishi Motors' global strategic model.

Developed under the product concept of “Power for Adventure,” the all-new Triton features a complete overhaul of everything from the interior and exterior design to the chassis, ladder frame, and engine. It was first launched in Thailand – where its production plant is located – in July 2023 and introduced in Japan in February 2024. The all-new Triton is being rolled out sequentially in some 100 countries worldwide. In addition to commercia use, this distinctively Mitsubishi one-ton pickup truck caters to customers’ adventurous spirit, opening up the possibilities for water sports, winter sports, and outdoor activities.

About the 2024-2025 Japan Car of the Year

The awards of the 45th Japan Car of the Year were given to models which premiered or started sales in the Japanese market from November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024.

MMM is also offering an exclusive 60L folding storage box worth RM450 as an early bird gift for the first 500 customers who place a booking for the all-new Triton via the Mitsubishi Online Showroom.

"As a pickup truck befitting a new era, we have developed the all-new Triton based on the "ALL ACTION" product concept. The key features of the all-new Triton are exclusively developed by Mitsubishi Motors, including a robust ladder frame and body, tough chassis, powerful engine and 4WD system that achieves excellent road handling and stability,” said Shinya Ikeda, Chief Executive Officer of MMM.

He added, “The all-new Triton is made to fulfil adventurous spirits, to handle any road challenges under any conditions, and with advance SUV-like comforts to go the distance.”

The Triton, known for its superior handling, durability, robustness and drivability, as well as comfort, has been well received globally for private and business use.

The key features of the all-new Triton are as highlighted below:

  • A bigger body size compared to the previous model, built on the newly developed frame chassis that provides high levels of durability and reliability.
  • A new engine that achieves both higher outputs and improved environmental performance.
  • Newly developed suspension that provides excellent ride comfort and steering stability. Super Select 4WD-II system and upgraded drive modes that enable highly versatile road performance.
  • New robust styling, and a sporty interior offering excellent functionality and operability.
  • Improved safety and comfort for a wide range of purposes, from business to personal use.

The all-new Triton comes in double cab and single cab variants, depending on the user’s intended use. The double cab comes with two rows of seats offering both the comfort of an SUV and the utility of a pick-up truck, while the single cab comes with only one row of seats for practical usage.

New Hyperpower clean diesel engine and new frame chassis

The newly developed Hyperpower 4N16 diesel engine comes in different output specifications to meet different purposes.

The high-output version in the Triton Athlete is equipped with a new 2.4L ‘two-stage’ turbo charging system for a maximum output of 204PS, 150kW of power, and maximum torque of 470Nm at a lower rev range, offering a balance of performance & efficiency.

The other Triton variants are equipped with a 2.4L 4N16 Turbo Diesel producing a maximum output of 184 PS and maximum torque of 430 Nm. The Single Cab is also equipped with a clean and efficient 2.4L diesel engine that produces a maximum output of 184 PS and maximum torque of 430 Nm.

The all-new Triton comes with either a six-speed automatic transmission featuring the highly acclaimed Sports mode from the previous model, or a six-speed manual transmission designed to reduce vibrations directly transmitted from the engine and improving comfort.

The newly developed frame chassis is rigorously tested and proven in the harshest terrains. Built with high-tensile materials, it is designed to withstand the toughest conditions and ensure reliable performance.

The new frame chassis has a 65% greater cross-sectional area than the previous model, achieving a bending rigidity increase of 40% and a torsional rigidity increase of 60%. Furthermore, weight increase has been minimized by increasing the ratio of high-tensile steel used.

Improved road performance through newly developed suspension and a mature 4WD system

The 4WD system enables the driver to easily shift to 4WD mode while driving by using a dial selector. The Triton Athlete continues to feature Mitsubishi Motors' Super Select 4WD-II, while the other variants are equipped with the Easy Select 4WD system.

The Triton Athlete equipped with the Super Select 4WD-II system offers the ability to select from the four options of 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (full-time four-wheel drive), 4HLc (locked center differential) and 4LLc (locked center differential with lower gears), which works in tandem with the seven drive modes including on-road modes - an increase over the four off-road modes in the previous model.

Along with Normal mode that is available in all 4WD modes, 2H offers Eco mode for prioritization of economy, 4H offers Gravel and Snow modes, 4HLc offers Mud and Sand modes for traction performance, while 4LLc provides Rock mode, allowing drivers to select the optimum drive mode for any condition.

The all-new Triton’s other variants equipped with Easy Select 4WD offer 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (locked center differential), and 4L (for low-gear driving).

The Triton Athlete also comes with a newly adopted Active Yaw Control (AYC) system that improves cornering performance by applying light braking to the inside front wheel when cornering. By applying the brake to a spinning wheel and distributing the driving torque to wheels gripping the road surface, it improves safety on slippery surfaces while also providing a sporty driving experience.

Mitsubishi Motors Safety Sensing (MMSS)

Selected variants of the all-new Triton also feature a comprehensive suite of safety systems, such as Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Sport Warning with Lane Change Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert among others, to instil every journey with peace of mind.

Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC) that improves stability on winding roads is equipped as standard on all models. Other systems include Hill Descent Control (HDC), which maintains a set speed on downhill slopes to enable driving with confidence, and Hill Start Assist (HSA), which prevents roll-back in hill starts.

Beast Mode design concept

The all-new Triton combines agility with Mitsubishi Motors' robust design to create an imposing look while expressing the toughness expected of a pick-up truck.

The front face Dynamic Shield design concept expresses the all-new Triton’s powerful performance and confidence-inspiring abilities. It evokes a sense of strength and protection through a robust, three-dimensional front grille design and accentuated fenders.

The daytime running lights feature three L-shaped LED lights resembling the sharp gaze of a hawk, which works in combination with the three-dimensional, three-light headlights below them. The design creates a truly commanding presence for the all-new Triton.

The solid surfaces continue alongside the body up to the rear end where the tailgate opens easily and offers access to the enlarged cargo bed. The T-shaped taillights emphasize width while accentuating the all-new Triton’s sturdy rear aesthetics.

The all-new Triton’s interior design concept revolves around clean, geometric shapes and metallic elements to create a high-contrast, modern space.

The glove box, smartphone holder, and other storage areas are generously sized, which enables ease of use. The instrument panel and center console have USB sockets for charging devices, while the Triton Athlete also comes with a wireless charger tucked neatly away at the bottom centre of the dashboard.

Drive your Ambition Brand Festival

Speaking at the launch event, Shinya Ikeda, Chief Executive Officer of MMM said, “With an SUV-like driving experience, the newly updated 7-seater XPANDER crossover is meticulously crafted to ensure exceptional customer satisfaction. From its sleek design to its versatile capabilities, the XPANDER is crafted to meet the diverse needs of modern families and adventurous individuals alike."

Ikeda added, “Since its Open-for-Booking announcement on 12 September 2024, the Mitsubishi XPANDER has received positive response. MMM would like to thank all its customers for showing overwhelming interest in the 2024 Mitsubishi XPANDER. We will try our utmost effort on production to honour these early bird customers as much as possible.”

MMM is currently represented by 61 showrooms (with 8 being 4S) and 61 service nationside. In East Malaysia, MMM has 16 showrooms (8 in Sarawak and 8 in Sabah).

According to Ikeda, “By 2025, we plan to open four more outlets, reaching a total of 65 to meet growing demand and improve customer experience."

Strengthen MPV styling and premium feel through exterior and interior

The exterior appearance of the updated XPANDER has been designed to bring its existing stylish design to a higher level. It reflects the sophistication and active lifestyle of its owners, who are looking for a well-designed yet practical vehicle.

The Dynamic Shield front face expresses power and reassurance with a newly adopted horizontal bumper and a three-dimensional skid plate. T-shaped headlights are incorporated as a new generation headlight unit shape, and for the higher trim levels, LED type is used to secure good forward visibility.

The rear design produces a wide and stable appearance with a new light shape and a horizontally styled rear spoiler and bumper. For the rear combination lights, T-shaped tail lights while LED stop lights are added to the taillights and back lights to improve visibility at night.

The XPANDER also comes with 17-inch wheels and tires which are newly equipped with round-rim type alloy wheels featuring a robust and progressive machine-finished two-tone design.

The interior features a horizontally sculpted instrument panel that provides a feeling of spaciousness. The redesigned steering wheel is given a sporty and powerful look, while the grip size and shape are restyled to secure an easy and confident grip for the driver.

Driving Performance

The updated XPANDER’s driver’s comfort is leading in its class thanks to the stability offered which boasts best-in-class ground clearance of 225mm, raised by 20mm over the previous XPANDER to provide better ability on rougher or flooded roads, and also higher eye-point and clear visibility for the driver.

The XPANDER is powered by a 1.5-litre MIVEC petrol engine using an aluminium block that produces 105 PS at 6,000 rpm and 141 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

Comfort and Convenience

An electric parking brake is newly added to the XPANDER Plus, enabling reliable stopping simply by operating a switch. In addition, the new brake auto hold function allows the vehicle to continue the stopped state even when the driver takes their foot off the brake pedal when waiting for a traffic light or stopping in traffic jams, thereby reducing the burden on the driver and enhancing comfort.

For added peace-of-mind driving, the XPANDER Plus also adds on All Round Monitor (ARM) and a front & rear Driving Video Recorder (DVR), a first in its class. The rear DVR captures every moment or incident in front of the vehicle while on the move.

Moreover, the quality of the interior space for the higher-trim XPANDER is upgraded by using soft pads with synthetic leather and real stitching for the armrest and door trim. Other new features include an air conditioning panel with a liquid crystal display that makes it easy to check the fan level and temperature settings at a glance and a high contrast meter display with a new graphic design.

A meticulous attention to detail for every passenger is designed throughout the cabin. The XPANDER is spacious with the capability to carry seven people comfortably on the road, and with a luggage capacity of 495L when the third-row seats are folded.

Three passengers can sit comfortably on the wide second-row seat and the vehicle also adopts a tumbling system for folding the second-row seats to make access to the back row easier.

The seatbacks in the second row (60:40 split) and third row (50:50 split) can be folded down with a simple operation to arrange the seats and luggage in various combinations. For really large loads, the second and third-row seats can be folded down to create a large flat storage area without bumps or gaps. The luggage capacity is 495 litres when the third-row seats are folded.
