Review of the new generation Mitsubishi Triton - diverse usage needs

Video: Review of Mitsubishi Triton 2025, Athlethe version.

New powerful engine, great improvement over the old generation

The new generation Mitsubishi Triton is equipped with a 2.4L MIVEC twin-turbo diesel engine coded 4N16 - a worthy upgrade compared to the previous generation. Both turbos are similar in size and operate simultaneously, helping to optimize air intake, increase acceleration and maintain torque even at low rpm.

Compared to its competitor, the Ford Ranger Bi-Turbo 2.0L, which uses a small turbo for low rpm and a large turbo for high rpm, the Triton's simultaneous Bi-Turbo system is superior when it comes to sudden acceleration or difficult terrain.

This engine produces a maximum power of 204 horsepower at 3,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 470 Nm from 1,500 rpm. The new generation Common Rail fuel injection system increases pressure and precision, helping the car respond quickly to the throttle, almost eliminating turbo lag.

In addition, the compression ratio is adjusted to reduce combustion chamber heat, reduce NOx emissions and comply with emission standards in Vietnam.

Decisive and efficient 6-speed gearbox

Triton uses a 6-speed automatic transmission. On the highway, the car maintains a stable speed without constantly shifting gears. Although the small number of gears causes the rpm to increase when accelerating strongly, in return, it brings a decisive and strong driving feeling, which those who love strength will appreciate.

The wheelbase is increased by 130 mm (total 3,130 mm), the cabin space is more spacious and the load capacity is better.

In off-road terrain, the 6-speed gearbox is effective: easy to control traction, especially when going through quicksand, mud or climbing steep slopes. Manual mode helps to maximize torque to overcome difficult terrain.

Compared to the 10-speed gearbox on the Ford Ranger, which shifts smoothly on flat roads, the Triton has the advantage off-road thanks to its ability to maintain stable traction, avoiding too many shifts that cause interruptions.

Rigid and flexible chassis and suspension

The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton pickup truck uses an improved chassis platform with high-strength steel in stress-bearing areas such as the A, B pillars and frame. This makes the vehicle lighter but still maintains rigidity, improving handling and fuel economy.

The wheelbase is increased by 130 mm (total 3,130 mm), the cabin space is more spacious and the load capacity is better.

The front suspension is a new double A-arm, with a larger balance bar and longer fork travel, helping to absorb shock well and cornering stably. The rear suspension is still a leaf spring but the material has been optimized: lighter, thinner but more durable and able to withstand high loads. Large shock absorbers help the vehicle to be smoother on rough terrain.

Overall, the new generation Triton offers a smoother ride than the previous generation but is still rugged enough for off-roading.

Soundproofing and driving feel enhance the experience

Mitsubishi's soundproofing capabilities have been significantly improved with multiple layers of noise-canceling materials on the doors, ceiling and floor. When moving at high speeds, wind and engine noise are effectively eliminated, providing quietness and comfort inside the cabin.

Electric power steering provides a light driving feel in the city and a sharp response when off-road.

On the highway, the steering wheel becomes tighter and the response is precise. Compared to competitors such as Ranger or Hilux, the driving feeling of Triton is not inferior, even easier to control in situations requiring sharp turns.

However, if you prioritize a true road feel, the Triton's steering is still a bit light and lacks feedback when entering sharp turns at high speeds.

Super Select 4WD-II: A powerful off-road weapon

The 2025 Triton is equipped with the Super Select 4WD-II drive system - Mitsubishi's outstanding system.

The vehicle has four drive modes: 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (full-time 4-wheel drive), 4HLc (center differential lock), 4LLc (slow mode, maximum traction)

In addition, the system also has a center differential lock and rear differential, helping to maintain traction even when the wheels are slipping.

The new generation Triton also has 7 specialized terrain driving modes, optimizing transmission and torque depending on conditions: Mud, Sand, Rock,... just turn the adjustment knob. The system will automatically distribute traction accordingly, providing maximum support when going uphill, climbing rocks or overcoming mud.

Outstanding specifications of the new generation Mitsubishi Triton

1. Overall dimensions (LxWxH): 5,360 x 1,930 x 1,815 mm
2. Wheelbase: 3,130 mm
3. Ground clearance: 228 mm
4. Turning radius: 6.2 meters
5. Front/rear departure angle: 30° / 22°
6. Massive, powerful and modern exterior

7. 

   The new generation Mitsubishi Triton carries the Dynamic Shield design language, with an extended grille combined with sharp LED positioning lights creating a modern and muscular feel.

The low-mounted main headlights increase lighting efficiency when off-roading. The angular body, wide wheel arches, and high front/rear bumpers increase off-road capability.

The overall size is larger than the previous generation, with 18-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tires creating a muscular appearance. At the rear, the LED taillights are designed vertically, along with a wide trunk and integrated steps for convenient loading and unloading of goods.

Spacious and SUV-like interior

Inside the cabin, the 2025 Triton has an SUV feel with a symmetrical dashboard layout, a 9-inch central entertainment screen supporting Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a 2-zone automatic air conditioning system.

The seats are leather-covered, electrically adjustable, and have a back-hugging design, providing comfort for both driver and passenger.

Rear seat space is significantly improved thanks to a 130mm longer wheelbase, providing a more spacious seating position. The car is also equipped with USB-C charging ports, large storage compartments and armrests for both rows of seats.

Reasonable price in the segment

In the Vietnamese market, the price of the Mitsubishi Triton 2025 starts from about 655 million VND to more than 924 million VND depending on the version and equipment. With outstanding upgrades in technology, chassis and transmission, this price is considered reasonable compared to competitors such as Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux.

Conclude

The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton is not just a versatile pickup truck, it is a vehicle designed to meet many needs at the same time: powerful off-road, smooth in the city, and comfortable like an SUV. Outstanding upgrades in the Bi-Turbo engine, chassis, transmission, suspension and driving technology help the 2025 Triton become one of the most comprehensive pickup trucks in the segment.

The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton is not just a versatile pickup truck, it is a vehicle designed to meet many needs at the same time.

The strong exterior design, modern and practical interior, flexible operation on many types of terrain and Super Select 4WD-II drive system are the factors that make the Triton 2025 not only worth the money, but also reliable for long journeys.
