The all-new Mitsubishi Triton was officially launched in the Thai market last year. By early 2024, this pickup truck model will also be introduced to another Southeast Asian market, the Philippines.
In the new generation, this pickup truck model in the Philippines has been renamed Triton instead of L200 or Strada as before. The car has a total of 7 versions and prices range from 1.134 – 1.909 million Pesos (approximately 495 – 834 million dong).
In the sixth generation, the Mitsubishi Triton has a larger size. Depending on the version, the car will have dimensions of length x width x height of 5,265/5,360 x 1,865/1,930 x 1,775/1,815 mm and a wheelbase length of 3,130 mm. Compared to the previous generation, the car’s wheelbase has increased by 130 mm, bringing more stability during operation, spacious interior, and a more comfortable driving experience. The ground clearance of the car reaches 203 mm in the standard version and 222 mm in the other versions.
Mitsubishi Triton 2024 has increased in size but is lighter than its predecessor.
Developed on a new platform, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton features a sturdy, rugged, durable, and lighter chassis than before. Thanks to that, the unloaded weight of the car ranges from 1,805 – 2,035 kg, depending on the version.
In addition, this pickup truck model also undergoes significant changes in terms of design. With the new Beast Mode design, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton looks aggressive and muscular. In which, the front of the car still applies the familiar Dynamic Shield design language with a rectangular grille, a two-tiered light cluster with LED daytime running lights above, low beam headlights below, and a silver trim on the front bumper.
