Iconic Mitsubishi Triton Is Coming

Iconic Mitsubishi Triton Is Coming

Date: 2016-12-23
Mitsubishi Motors Umhlanga has announced the imminent arrival of the all-new Triton SU (Sport Utility) for the start of 2017. Among the array of timely updates, Triton SU will establish a new benchmark in engine performance with Mitsubishi's latest-generation 2.4-litre 4-cylinder DOHC MIVEC 16-valve turbocharged common rail diesel engine. This powerful new engine features an aluminium cylinder block to save weight and can be paired with Mitsubishi's latest 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic gearbox.

This all-new super responsive 2.4-litre engine with a class-leading low compression ratio of 15.5:1 is supplemented by a variable geometry turbo charger as well as Mitsubishi's proprietary engine mapping. Peak power outperforms similar-sized engines with 133 kW at 3 500 rpm and 430 Nm at 2 500 rpm, with more than 350 Nm available from 1 500 rpm. This combination provides a substantial improvement in low-end torque of over 25% compared to the previous 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine which was fitted to the outgoing Triton range.

The new MIVEC engine is mated to a choice between the five-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearbox with the option of two or four-wheel drive available to both. Each gearbox has seen a significant redesign from its predecessor with the manual gearbox now featuring shorter and smoother shifts and the automatic gearbox offering electronic manual shifting.

Buyers who opt for the 4x4 drivetrain will get to sample the latest version of Mitsubishi's widely acclaimed Super Select II 4WD system. This state-of-the-art system is unique to Mitsubishi and offers four intelligent driving modes, which can be engaged from the electronic drive-selector in the cabin.
