The Mitsubishi Triton ute range is to get a ‘Sport Edition’ variant.

Limited to 400 units and based on the premium GLS Deluxe grade, the new model features some aesthetic and functional updates to make it stand apart, including red accents applied to the skid plate, side steps and rear section, with bonnet and tailgate decals. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather with red stitching.

All Triton Sport Editions are configured as Dual Cab Pick Ups. Based as it is on the GLS Deluxe grade, the Triton Sport Edition is available with the six-speed automatic transmission.

The 2023 model year update will see the return of the factory-fitted SDA1 audio system to Triton GLX-R and GLS model grades, thanks to improved component supply conditions. This system features a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as two USB points and a HDMI port to support multiple connections.

All Triton variants are powered by a 2.4-litre turbocharged, intercooled diesel engine. In the Sport Edition, the set-up delivers 133kW and 430Nm and 8.6 litres per 100km fuel consumption.

Triton models get a range of passive and active safety features, including airbags to the front and side for both the driver and front passenger, curtain airbags and a driver’s knee airbag.

Active safety and support features include Emergency Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist, Active Stability Control, Trailer Stability Assist, Active Traction Control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and Brake Override System. Features including Forward Collision Mitigation system with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Hill Descent Control are available depending on the model.

The updated Triton range is expected in dealerships from December with prices ranging from $30,740 to $64,640.
