2025 Mitsubishi Triton: Minor Upgrades, New GLX-R Variant, and Unchanged Pricing

Mitsubishi has introduced minor updates to the 2025 Triton range, including the addition of a new mid-range GLX-R variant, all while keeping prices steady across the lineup. This update, which forms part of the MY24.5 refresh, is aimed at providing more value to buyers without impacting affordability.

Introducing the Triton GLX-R

The newly reintroduced GLX-R trim slots neatly between the GLX+ and the higher-spec GLS, offering a blend of features from the more expensive models at a competitive price. Priced at $56,740 (before on-road costs), the GLX-R comes with key features like black 18-inch alloy wheels, a dual-strut tailgate assist system, and Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD II system, providing a well-rounded package for those looking for a capable and stylish dual-cab ute.

Dual-Strut Tailgate Assist Now Standard

A notable feature in this update is the dual-strut tailgate assist system, which makes the tailgate easier to lift and lower. This feature is now standard on the GLX-R, GLS, and GSR models, offering increased convenience for loading and unloading.

Pricing Overview

Mitsubishi has kept the prices unchanged, making the Triton lineup more appealing for 2025. Here’s a breakdown of pricing (before on-road costs):

Under the Hood: Power & Efficiency

All 2025 Triton models are powered by a 2.4-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, with the Triton offering rear-wheel drive on the GLX 4x2 models and four-wheel drive on the rest of the range.

Fuel efficiency is commendable for a vehicle of its class, with the 4x2 models claiming a consumption of 7.5L/100km, and the 4x4 variants sitting at 7.7L/100km. The Triton’s 75-litre fuel tank and 17-litre AdBlue tank ensure long-distance capability.

Tough and Capable: Towing and Payload

The Triton continues to excel in towing, with a braked towing capacity of 3500kg and an unbraked capacity of 750kg. The payload capacity varies between 1030kg and 1095kg, depending on the variant, and the towball download tops out at 350kg.

Feature-Packed Interior

Even the base GLX is equipped with a host of modern conveniences, including a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and keyless entry. The GLX-R adds more comfort with carpeted floors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-strut tailgate assist.

Higher-spec models, like the GLS and GSR, boast heated leather seats, LED lighting, dual-zone climate control, and advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and a surround-view camera.

Safety & Warranty

Safety is a strong point for the 2025 Triton, which boasts a five-star ANCAP safety rating that remains valid until 2030. Standard safety equipment includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and a host of other active safety technologies.

Mitsubishi backs the Triton with a five-year/100,000km warranty, which can be extended to 10 years/200,000km if serviced at Mitsubishi dealers. Service intervals are every 12 months or 15,000km, with capped pricing starting at $489 for the first five services.

Ready for the Road

The 2025 Mitsubishi Triton continues to deliver exceptional value, combining rugged performance with modern features and advanced safety. Whether you're tackling tough terrain or seeking a reliable ute for everyday use, the Triton lineup has something for everyone, especially with the introduction of the versatile GLX-R.

If you’re in the market for a capable and feature-packed ute, the Triton should definitely be on your radar as it hits showrooms this month.
