Pricing: New Mitsubishi Triton Bi-Turbo touches down, with power to match Hilux
With the introduction of the new Bi-Turbo variant, the latest-generation Mitsubishi Triton now has the engine ammo to take the fight to the top-selling Toyota Hilux.
Now available in South Africa, the Mitsubishi Triton 2.4 Bi-Turbo is available in a single derivative, priced at R959,990. That, for the record, represents a R70,000 premium over the single-turbo flagship model, the Edition 46.
The tri-diamond Bi-Turbo bakkie does, however, undercut rivals such as the Hilux 2.8 GD-6 Legend 4x4 (R999,900) as well as the Kia Tasman X Pro (R999,995) and Ford Ranger 3.0 TD V6 Wildtrak (R1,076,800).
The upgraded 2.4-litre engine produces 150kW, matching the Toyota Hilux’s 2.8 GD-6, while torque is listed at 470Nm between 1,500 and 2,750rpm. The newcomer slots above the existing 2.4 DI-D single-turbo models, which deliver 135kW and 430Nm.
The two-blower set-up also enhances flexibility in everyday driving, with the smaller of the two turbos providing low-speed response to combat lag, and the larger one sustaining high-end boost.
The Bi-Turbo is available exclusively in 4x4 guise, with power channelled to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. The Super Select II 4WD system also incorporates a rear differential lock, and drivers can select from seven vehicle drive modes.
The Bi-Turbo variant also boasts a number of exterior design enhancements, including roof rails, a styling bar, and an assisted rear tailgate. Inside, the Bi-Turbo features a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and synthetic leather seats with unique suede knit quilting.
The Bi-Turbo ships with a full suite of active safety features, including an Around View Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Assistant, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
