The 2024 Mitsubishi Triton will provide a couple of surprises. This model will break cover at some point in 2023, with sales starting shortly after that. From what we know, the new Triton will be bigger and bolder. The next-gen Triton is about to arrive, and it will reportedly have a lot in common with the Nissan Navara pickup truck.
On top of that, Mitsu will utilize many things currently present in the Ariya electric crossover SUV. First spy shots are available, which resulted in some impressive renderings. The idea is to attract more customers, so new design will have to be impressive and unique. The Triton truck comes with tradition, as Mitsubishi introduced it four decades ago.
In some markets, Triton is available as the Mitsubishi L200. This truck is durable, versatile, and quite capable. You can choose between various cab setups and driving configurations. It is a good choice for those who seek versatility, as Triton can adapt to various driving conditions. On top of that, it gets the job done.
Redesign
Its new design will be the most important upgrade on the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton. This truck will get a bolder look, with larger exterior elements. The idea is to provide the brand’s new Dynamic Shield grille with signature LED headlights and a new hood. Thanks to that, the front fascia will have a completely new look. On top of that, the side profile will look sharper, wearing new wheels, new character lines, and side sills.
The doors are also longer, which results in bigger windows. Of course, Mitsubishi will offer a new appearance package, new exterior colors, and much more. Reportedly, the wheelbase is longer than before, which will result in a more spacious interior. Dimensionally, Triton will slightly grow in size, as the idea is to put it closer to Nissan Navara in terms of proportions.
On the other hand, Navara and Triton will have unique bodywork. Like Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton, and Nissan Navara will look closer to each other. However, we are still waiting to see what the new-gen models will exactly look like.
Specs
Under the skin and hood, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton will deliver a couple of significant upgrades. For a start, Mitsubishi will add a larger intercooler behind the front fascia. The next-gen Triton will have a four-cylinder turbodiesel engine as standard. This engine will gain new brakes and other improved mechanics.
We don’t know if this engine will produce more power, but increased fuel economy is a possibility. Still, the highlight will be the hybrid powertrain. Mitsubishi intends to build either a mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid system. The question is if the carmaker wants to pair an electric motor with a diesel or gas engine. The Triton Hybrid model will have two electric motors, per reports.
This will help the truck to meet CO2 regulations across the globe. Larger batteries are in the works, so Mitsubishi Triton should have a solid driving range. The automotive brand confirmed that the hybrid powertrain will be optional. Naturally, Mitsubishi will build this hybrid setup with Nissan and Renault.
Another big question is the transmission. A 6-speed gearbox was available, but Mitsubishi now provides a more reliable 7-speed automatic transmission. Still, the biggest rivals are available with either 8-speed or 10-speed units. Lastly, the Triton truck will have a 4×4 capability, probably as an option.
2024 Mitsubishi Triton Release Date, Price
Right now, the Triton model is available for $30,000, more or less. On top of that, the price moves up to almost $60,000 for the most expensive variant. The upcoming 2024 Mitsubishi Triton will probably cost more than the outgoing model, although it is just a wild guess. According to Mitsubishi, the first official images will appear in the following months, with sales beginning shortly after that.
