Test Report on the Mitsubishi Triton GSR 2024

There’s a new one Mitsubishi Triton in the city.

With new looks, a really modern interior and a new turbodiesel engine, it has undergone a major makeover for 2024.

On the other hand, it desperately needed it. The last Triton was a strong seller, but looked incredibly old and creaky next to the best-selling Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux at the top end – and was squeezed at the bottom end by LDV and GWM offerings that were stronger than ever in range.

At the top of the new range is this 2024 Mitsubishi Triton GSR. Its rugged exterior is backed by a luxurious cabin and a full range of off-road accessories.

CarExpert’s view of the Mitsubishi Triton

The new Triton represents a big step forward compared to its predecessor, but it’s not perfect.

On the positive side? It looks better than before, has a much more modern interior and handles on the road with a polish that its predecessor simply couldn’t.

It’s also still affordable compared to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and the top versions of the Toyota HiLux, although you can expect a lot more in 2024 than the previous model.

But… the driver assistance technology needs to be revised, as does the automatic start-stop system. They’re the kind of flaws that quickly become more than just flaws when you spend a lot of time on the open road, and need to be addressed quickly if the Triton is to win over buyers.
