2023 Mitsubishi Triton price and specs

The Mitsubishi Triton has lost its petrol engine for 2023, and there’s a new special edition and some minor specification tweaks throughout the range.

The updated range arrives in local showrooms in December.

All GLX models gain black side steps, which Mitsubishi says improves accessibility as well as side intrusion protection.

GLX-R and GLS variants once again have Mitsubishi’s SDA1 audio system, replacing the aftermarket head unit that was being fitted.

2023 Mitsubishi Triton price and specs — ***Sport***

This system includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as two USB outlets and a HDMI port.

The special edition Sport, limited to 400 units, is based on the GLS Deluxe and is priced $1500 higher at $56,440 before on-road costs.

It features black leather upholstery with red stitching, as well as unique exterior decals and red accents on the skid plate, side steps and rear bumpers.

All carryover models have received price increases, with most slugged with a $1500 hike.

The biggest jump is at the entry point to the range, not only because of the price increases but because of the discontinuation of the GLX 4×2 single-cab chassis petrol model.

The 2023 range now opens at $30,740 before on-roads, while the so-called 2022.5 Triton range opened at $24,240 before on-roads.

As part of that mid-year update, prices were increased across the board, with most models up by $1000 but some slugged with price increases of up to $2450.

Drivetrains

The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton is powered by a 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 133kW of power and 430Nm of torque.

It’s available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

There’s a choice of rear-wheel drive or two different four-wheel drive systems.

GLS and GSR models use Mitsubishi’s more advanced Super Select II system which also includes a full-time four-wheel drive mode you can use on pavement.

Four-wheel drive models use All-Terrain tyres except for the GLX-R, GLS and GSR, while only the GLX+, GLX-R, GLS and GSR have a rear differential lock.

Efficiency

In rear-wheel drive form, the 2023 Mitsubishi Triton consumes 7.8L/100km on the combined cycle in Single Cab with a manual transmission and 8.3L/100km with an automatic.

In Double Cab auto guise, it uses 8.4L/100km.

With four-wheel drive, the Mitsubishi Triton diesel consumes 7.9L/100km on the combined cycle with a manual transmission and 8.6L/100km with an automatic.

All Tritons have a 75L fuel tank.

Dimensions

The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton measures 5295mm long in Club Cab guise and 5305mm in Double Cab ute guise. Cab Chassis length is dependent on the tray.

The Triton is 1775mm tall as a rear-wheel drive Single Cab and 1780mm as a rear-wheel drive Double Cab or any four-wheel drive variant.

This excludes the Single Cab 4WD (1785mm) and the GLX-R, GLS and GSR Double Cabs (1790mm).

All Tritons measure 1815mm wide.

The approach and departure angles of 4×4 Triton models are 30 degrees and 22 degrees, respectively (31 degrees and 23 degrees in the GSR). Ramp breakover angle is between 25 and 26 degrees on all models.

Unbraked towing capacity is 750kg across the entire range, while braked varies. It’s 2500kg in the diesel single cab-chassis, and 3000-3100kg across the rest of the range.

Mitsubishi’s standard warranty covers five years or 100,000km, but so long as you return to one of its dealerships at each service this extends to 10 years or 200,000km.

Servicing at dealerships also lets you take advantage of Mitsubishi’s 10 years of capped-price servicing.

Safety

When the Mitsubishi Triton was tested by ANCAP in 2015, it received a rating of five stars.

That rating was based on a frontal offset score of 15.22 out of 16 and a side impact score of 16 out of 16. Whiplash and pedestrian protection were rated Good and Acceptable, respectively.

All 2023 Mitsubishi Triton models come standard with front, side and curtain airbags, as well as a driver’s knee airbag and anti-lock brakes.

All models bar the base GLX in Single Cab and manual Club Cab guise also include autonomous emergency braking with forward-collision warning, as well as lane-departure warning.

The GLS and GSR add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
