Discover the new Mitsubishi Triton unveiled in Thailand – a sleek redesign with an Xforce‑inspired grille, 17‑inch black alloy wheels and rear‑drive off‑road assistance. Learn more now!
Mitsubishi has rolled out a refreshed look for the Mitsubishi Triton in Thailand, but the redesign is limited to a single, entry‑level model called the Triton Street. Aimed at city‑driven owners who rarely need heavy off‑road capability, the new styling gives the compact pickup a more aggressive and modern appearance.
Eye‑catching Front Fascia
The most noticeable change is the front end. Mitsubishi borrowed the angular, X‑shaped grille from the Xforce SUV and paired it with a reshaped bumper that sits lower and looks more muscular. Large black lower valances and refined air‑intake openings add depth, while the overall shape is square and sharply edged, giving the otherwise plain Triton a bolder stance.
Wheels, Colours and Trim
Standard equipment includes 17‑inch black‑finished alloy wheels that complement the tough front design. The suspension height and set‑up remain unchanged from previous trims, keeping the ride comfortable for paved‑road use. Colour options are limited to three sober shades – white, silver and dark gray – each accented with black exterior detailing for a sleek contrast.
Interior and Tech Features
Inside, the Triton Street stays practical. Cloth‑covered seats, a three‑airbag system, and a modest two‑speaker audio setup are standard. Drivers benefit from hill‑start assist, a front‑collision mitigation brake, and a 10‑inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports basic smartphone connectivity. The cabin feels functional, catering to everyday urban tasks rather than luxury expectations.
Powertrain Remains the Same
Mechanically, the new Triton does not diverge from earlier models. It is powered by a 2.4‑litre turbo‑charged diesel engine delivering 148 hp and 330 Nm of torque, paired with a six‑speed manual gearbox. The drivetrain is rear‑wheel drive only; there is no four‑wheel‑drive option. However, the vehicle does feature an active stability control system that can modulate brake pressure to help a slipping wheel regain traction, offering a modest off‑road aid for light slip situations.
Pricing and Market Position
In Thailand, the Triton Street starts at 649,000 baht, roughly equivalent to 5.44 million VND. Its positioning between the single‑cab and double‑cab variants makes it an attractive, affordable choice for small business owners and city dwellers who need a utility vehicle without the cost of higher‑spec models.
Is This a Test Run for a Future Facelift?
Because the redesign is exclusive to a single trim, many observers wonder whether Mitsubishi is using the Triton Street as a market test before launching a broader mid‑cycle facelift for the entire line. The current generation debuted in 2023, and with the midsize pickup segment becoming increasingly competitive, a refreshed design in the next few years would not be surprising.
