What Safety Features does the Mitsubishi Triton have?
All 2023 Mitsubishi Tritons bear an ANCAP rating of five out of five stars.
It achieved this during initial testing in 2015, with the pre-facelift range, so would be unlikely to achieve a top score if tested against today's tougher criteria.
Standard features include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection and junction assist (when turning across oncoming traffic), blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and lane departure warning (but no lane-centring assistance).

What warranty does Mitsubishi offer for the Triton?
All new Mitsubishis are covered as standard by a five-year/100,000km vehicle warranty. Stay on top of your scheduled servicing with the Mitsubishi network, however, and Mitsubishi will extend your warranty to an impressive ten years or 200,000km.
Servicing intervals are every 120 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first.
Mitsubishi will also cap servicing costs for the first ten years or 150,000km, with subsequent maintenance costs projected at around $600 per year (or every 15,000km).

About the Mitsubishi Triton
The Japanese-bred Mitsubishi Triton ute is available in single-cab, club-cab, and double-cab configurations, in either cab-chassis or pick-up guise.
A vast 4x4 and 4x2 model line-up consists of the entry-level GLX, GLX+, GLX-R, GLS and the top-spec GSR. Premium models are equipped with a Super Select II full-time 4x4 system, while lower-spec variants get a more rudimentary Easy Select part-time 4WD system.
All models – except a petrol-powered GLX cab-chassis – are powered by a 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre MIVEC turbo-diesel engine that runs through either a six-speed auto or six-speed manual transmission.
The Mitsubishi Triton range received an upgrade in 2020 that introduced revised front-end styling, terrain-specific driving modes, and a suite of advanced safety tech.
A new Triton is set to launch in 2023, with a plug-in hybrid powertrain expected.
In a heavily populated ute segment, rivals for the Triton include renowned models such as the Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, and Toyota HiLux, while more budget-oriented offerings include the likes of the GWM Ute, LDV T60, and SsangYong Musso.
