Mitsubishi Triton double-cab bakkie handed the ‘Athlete’ treatment
Mitsubishi in Thailand has revealed the new Athlete version of its Triton, handing the double-cab bakkie some model-specific styling cues and a dash of extra kit.
Offered in a choice of three exterior colours, the Triton Athlete features a black roof, black side steps and black front bumper garnish. There’s also an integrated styling bar and bed liner (in, you guessed it, black) plus special decals running along the flanks, in addition to 18-inch black alloys wrapped in 265/60 rubber.
Inside, you’ll find a leather-trimmed steering wheel with orange contrast stitching (a treatment repeated on the gear lever) and two-tone leather seats (with the front pews bearing the “Athlete” logo), as well as branded floor mats.
Under the bonnet, though, Mitsubishi has opted not to make any changes. And that means the 2,4-litre turbodiesel mill still generates 133 kW and 430 N.m, channelled to either just the rear wheels or to all four corners via a six-speed automatic transmission.

Mitsubishi SA confirms new Triton Xtreme, refreshed Pajero Sport
Mitsubishi Motors South Africa has confirmed a new Triton Xtreme variant will join its bakkie range in July 2020, before the facelifted Pajero Sport arrives later in the year.
In addition, the Japanese firm’s local arm says the seven-seater Xpander is now scheduled to hit South Africa early in 2021. The Xpander will be powered by a 77 kW 1,5-litre petrol engine and take on the likes of Honda's BR-V.
The Triton Xtreme, meanwhile, is described as an “even more attractive version of the top-selling 4x4 double-cab” variant. Mitsubishi SA says it will be available in “limited numbers” at a “small premium” over the existing 4x4 automatic flagship.
According to the company, the Triton Xtreme offers a “host of upgrades, based on customer feedback and valued at around R100 000, but at only R40 000 more than the current model”. For the record, the 2,4DI-D double-cab 4x4 auto on which this model is based is currently priced at R599 995.

Next-gen Triton confirmed for 2022 to lead Mitsubishi’s leaner approach
Mitsubishi Motors has confirmed the next-generation Triton bakkie is scheduled to launch in 2022 as part of the Japanese firm’s leaner mid-term plan.
In announcing its so-called “small but beautiful” mid-term business plan, the company confirmed it would focus its efforts on the ASEAN region, while also saying it had “resolved to freeze the introduction of new models to the European market”. As previously reported, the automaker will stop building the Pajero in 2021, too.

Pass or fail? Watch Mitsubishi Triton bakkie undergo the 'Moose Test'
Spanish publication km77 has put the latest Mitsubishi Triton through the dreaded Moose Test, with the double-cab bakkie completing the move with an "average" entrance speed.
In the video below, the Triton – which is here fitted with an automatic transmission, a canopy and Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 rubber in 265/60 R18 size – is subjected to one of the toughest handling tests out there, conceived to simulate an animal suddenly running out in front of a moving vehicle.
The first attempt was performed just above the prescribed entrance speed of 77 km/h (at 79 km/h, to be exact). While it was by no means successful, km77 said the bakkie “felt safe and easy to control”, adding though it “understeered notably”, the reactions overall “were not too slow”.

Next-gen Mitsubishi Triton to be offered with ‘very strong’ hybrid tech
A Mitsubishi engineer has suggested the next-generation Triton bakkie will be offered with a “very tough” and “very strong” hybrid powertrain.
Masahiro Awano, who is the chief engineer for the Eclipse Cross PHEV, suggested to motoring.com.au the plug-in hybrid powertrain would also be suitable for off-road-capable models such as the Triton and Pajero Sport.
“Our current PHEV system is very tough and also very strong, smooth and quiet. Therefore, the upgrading of the PHEV system will be installed in next-generation vehicles,” Awano-san said. “Currently, the Eclipse Cross PHEV has the same hardware systems as the Outlander PHEV.
“Electrification studies we’re reviewing but currently I can’t say any more.”

Mitsubishi says 'tougher' next-gen Triton will offer ‘top performance’

Mitsubishi to return to motorsport with revived Ralliart brand
After 11 years dormant, the Japanese brand hopes performance arm’s rebirth will “realise Mitsubishi Motors-ness
Mitsubishi is set to revive the dormant Ralliart sporting brand after 11 years, having put it on hiatus at the beginning of the last decade.
The revival was quietly announced as part of Mitsubishi’s annual earnings call. It is hoped the return of the Ralliart brand will help fulfil the Japanese car maker’s objective to “realise Mitsubishi Moters-ness.”
“We have decided to relaunch the Ralliart brand for customers in Mitsubishi Motors brand who want to add to Mitsubishi Motors-ness even more,” said Takao Kato, Mitsubishi CEO.
“For customers who wish to experience our Mitsubishi-ness, we will launch custom-made accessories for our model line-up as well as re-entering motorsport events around the world,” he added.
In the presentation, a Mitsubishi L200 pick up is shown with a Ralliart makeover, with another image featuring a reference to ‘Ralliart Parts’. It remains unclear whether the branding will be used for standalone performance models, or on upgrade packages for standard Mitsubishi models.

Raptor-rivalling Triton part of Mitsubishi’s Ralliart revival?
Does the name Ralliart ring a bell? In 2010 Mitsubishi shut the doors to its performance division citing a “sudden change of economic situation”. Essentially, the 2008 Great Recession culled the business of building fast Mitsubishis, motorsport programmes, as well as merchandise of its sub-brand.
The good news is that 11 years later the Japanese automaker’s 2020 financial year results have propelled a relook at Ralliart, and the board has green lighted its re-introduction, Carguide reports.
Ralliart is most notably linked with Mitsubishi’s motorsport exploits in rallying, which includes 12 Dakar Rally victories and four driver’s titles in the World Rally Championship.
More pertinent to our needs is a host of performance SUVs and crossovers destined for introduction in 2023. The Carguide report suggests the performance brand is likely to feature a Triton Ralliart model that will rival the Ford Ranger Raptor and the Toyota Hilux GR.
Mitsubishi sneakily included a Triton decked out in red mudflaps, red accents on the lower section of the and decals running from the rear door to towards the load bay.

Why Mitsubishi’s local model line-up continues to win hearts
Just as other much-loved brands – ranging from appliances, foodstuff and beverages to clothing lines and footwear – have become household names in South Africa, Mitsubishi has, over more than five decades, entrenched itself in the local culture by providing products that local buyers can identify with and aspire to. In the process it has established a base of customers that appreciate the core values of performance, quality, reliability and durability that the brand represents.
With a number of instantly recognisable nameplates in its stable, Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA) continues to appeal to buyers in the leisure market who want a vehicle that is suited to both work and play, while setting them apart from the crowd.
