Discover the new Mitsubishi Triton Street model launched in Thailand, featuring a striking Xforce-inspired grille, 17‑inch black alloy wheels, and a 2.4L diesel engine. Learn more now!
Mitsubishi has unveiled a fresh‑look version of its midsize pickup, the Triton, for the Thai market. The update is limited to the low‑cost Triton Street – the most compact model in the Mega Cab family – and targets city‑driven customers who need a practical workhorse rather than a hardcore off‑roader.
Bold New Front Styling
The most noticeable change is the front fascia. Mitsubishi borrowed the angular Xforce grille shape and paired it with a newly sculpted bumper, giving the truck a boxier, more aggressive stance. A large black lower valance and refined air intakes add depth, while the overall design stays clean enough for everyday use.
Exterior Details
- 15‑inch alloy wheels replaced by 17‑inch black‑painted rims.
- Halogen headlamps (no LEDs) and no fog lights.
- Color options limited to white, silver and dark gray, all accented with black trim.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Triton Street keeps things simple but functional. Fabric seats, a three‑airbag package and a basic two‑speaker audio system are standard. Drivers benefit from hill‑start assist, front collision‑mitigation braking, and a 10‑inch touchscreen infotainment unit that handles Bluetooth, navigation and basic media.
Powertrain and Driving Dynamics
Under the hood sits the proven 2.4‑litre turbo‑charged diesel engine, delivering 148 hp and 330 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six‑speed manual gearbox; no four‑wheel‑drive option is offered for this variant. To aid traction on slippery surfaces, the truck features an active yaw control system that can brake a slipping wheel and redistribute torque.
Pricing and Market Position
In Thailand, the Triton Street starts at 649,000 baht (approximately US$17,400 or VND 544 million). By positioning the model between the single‑cab and double‑cab configurations, Mitsubishi aims to capture urban small‑business owners who need a capable payload without the bulk of larger pickups.
What’s Next for the Triton Lineup?
The current Triton generation debuted in 2023, and industry observers suspect a mid‑cycle facelift could be on the horizon. The limited‑edition front redesign may be a market‑specific test before a broader update, especially as competition in the midsize pickup segment intensifies worldwide.
Overall, the new Triton Street delivers a fresh visual identity while retaining the reliable mechanicals that have made the model popular in Asia. Its urban‑focused package could appeal to global buyers looking for an affordable, rugged yet city‑ready pickup.
