The Japanese brand has introduced a pocket-friendly version of its bakkie for fleet owners and SMEs. Here are the specifications and pricing for the Mitsubishi Triton GL.

In the highly-competitive double-cab bakkie segment there are many brands jostling for sales. With the majority of sales being snapped by the ever-popular Toyota Hilux, the remaining brands have to fight for the remaining customers.

Mitsubishi is trying the value-added angle, and has launched the Mitsubishi Triton GL, which comes in at a much cheaper price than the rest of the Triton range.

“Fans of the Mitsubishi brand have shown overwhelming interest in a more robust commercial vehicle range, and MMSA is happy to oblige by introducing the Triton Double Cab GL,” explains Jeffrey Allison, General Manager: Marketing at MMSA. “This is but the first step in our intention to offer greater versatility in the commercial vehicle space and will draw more customers into the Mitsubishi fold. This aggressive price point on our Double Cab GL will without doubt also attract lifestyle consumers due to its accessibility, versatility and bold contemporary styling.”

Under the bonnet is a detuned version of the 2.4-litre turbodiesel motor. In GL trim, it has outputs of 100 kW and 324 Nm, and is paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox. There’s no 4-wheel drive here, with the vehicle being a 4×2 model. When it comes to fuel economy, the Mitsubishi Triton GL is said to consume 8L/100 km.

Despite its entry-level designation, features are adequate with a 75-litre fuel tank, 16-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 245/70R16 rubber, fabric seats, anti-lock brakes, halogen headlights, keyless entry, electric windows, and automatic air conditioning. If you want an infotainment system that is Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatible, you’ll have to pay a bit more as it’s an optional extra.
