Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia is introducing an updated 2017 Triton offering improved equipment levels, notably with regards to safety, but with prices increased for four out six variants.
The six-variant line-up from before is maintained. Except for the entry-level Triton Quest 4×2 and VGT manual variants, all models are subject to price hikes ranging from RM2,720 to RM3,700.
OTR prices of the 2017 Triton (excluding insurance) are listed below:

Key updates implemented in the 2017 Triton are focused on safety, with all VGT variants getting Brake Assist (BA), electronic stability control, traction control, Hill-Start Assist (HSA), and Trailer Sway Control (TSC).
These items complement existing safety features consisting of ABS, EBD, Reverse Sensors, ISOFIX and dual frontal airbags. The range-topping Adventure and Adventure X models additionally get side, curtain, and driver knee airbags – bringing the total airbag count to seven.
Other updates focus on interior features. All variants get a redesigned instrument cluster; the 2.5 4×4 Std and Quest 4×2 variants see their single DIN audio head unit enlarged to double DIN. All MIVEC VGT variants get the all-new Pajero Sport’s four-spoke steering to replace the previous three-spoke wheel. Lastly, the Adventure and Adventure X models get 8-way electric driver seat adjustment.
Launched locally in 2015, the current-generation Triton was updated last year with Mitsubishi’s latest generation 2.4-litre MIVEC turbodiesel with 181PS and 430Nm paired with either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.
The lower-end 2.5 Std and Quest 4×2 variants continue with the previous model’s 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine. Outputs are rated at 110PS/200Nm for the Quest 4×2 model and 136PS/320Nm for the 2.5 Std. Both these variants are fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission.
