Ready for the all-new Mitsubishi Triton? Well, the wraps will officially come off the 6th generation bakkie on 26 July 2023, though the Japanese automaker has dropped a handful of teaser images (and some video content) in the meantime, giving us an early look at its upcoming rival to the likes of the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max.
Billed as an all-new “global strategic model” (and known as the L200 in some markets), the next-gen Triton is set to feature what Mitsubishi describes as a “beefed-up body” and “powerful, horizontally themed styling”. Of course, we’ve already have a bit of a preview in the form of the XRT Concept.
A look at the new Mitsubishi Triton’s profile.
As you can tell from these latest teaser images (showing the double-cab body style), the bakkie’s front end is defined by a combination of daytime running lights (apparently resembling the “sharp gaze of a hawk”) and new “3-dimensional headlights”. The video below also gives us an early (but shadowy) look at the new Triton’s cabin, complete with a tablet-like infotainment screen standing proud of the dashboard. For now, Mitsubishi remains mum on the new Triton’s powertrain options.
“The all-new Triton has been completely re-imagined under the design concept ‘Beast Mode’, or audacious and daring,” said Seiji Watanabe, division general manager of design at Mitsubishi Motors.
“While expressing the toughness and powerfulness expected of a pick-up truck, the all-new Triton combines agility with the brand’s robust design to create an imposing look. Tough and reliable, the all-new Triton will make customers want to go on any adventure,” promised Watanabe.
The new Triton – which we expect to be closely related to the next-gen Nissan Navara, considering the 2 brands are part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance – will be fully revealed at a special event in Thailand in July (and will surely spawn a new Pajero Sport, too).
