July 10: New 2024 Mitsubishi Triton teaser image released
As we edge closer to its big unveiling, Mitsubishi has handed down another revealing image of its new-generation Triton ute.
Although still camouflaged, the image offers another clear look at the upcoming new ute.

Set to be unveiled in Thailand on July 26, the 2024 Triton will debut as an all-new offering, some nine years since the current model launched.
To that end, the company promises an all-new ladder-frame chassis with a double wishbone design up front and leaf-spring suspension at the rear.
Likewise, a new "clean diesel" engine is on board, first teased last week in a social media post. See our detailed story on that here.

"We have interviewed various customers about their usages and needs, and have repeatedly conducted development tests to meet the demands of a vehicle that works in a harsh environment," said Yoshiki Masuda, Mitsubishi's chief product specialist.
"We are confident that this model will satisfy all customers around the world, from leisure use to commercial use. Please look forward to the unveiling of the all-new Triton.”

July 3: 2024 Triton to launch with a 'new' engine
A social media post by Mitsubishi Motors Thailand reveals the new Triton’s engine, which is said to be “new” and “more impressive than ever” – but the changes aren’t believed to be revolutionary, according to overseas reports.
June 14: Here's how the new Triton will look!
Thanks to Mitsubishi's flood of revealing spy photos, we've produced a set of renders that offer a clear look at the new-generation ute. Get the full story at the link below.
June: First 2024 Triton teasers released
The “fully redesigned” 2024 Mitsubishi Triton ute will debut next month, the brand has confirmed.
It will be unveiled at an event in Thailand on July 26, with further details for the all-new Triton – including local timing – due soon.
“Australia is a core market globally for Mitsubishi Motors, and we have been a key stakeholder in the next-generation Triton’s development process,” said a Mitsubishi Australia spokesperson.

“The light commercial utility segment is more competitive than ever, and we are confident that next-generation Triton will take Mitsubishi’s enduring presence in this market to the next level.”
Mitsubishi has showcased its first promotional material for the next-gen Triton, providing a glimpse at the new model and a behind-the-scenes look at its development.

The images – enhanced by 4X4 Australia for better clarity – reveal a squared-off look with a prominent shoulder line, slimmer daytime running lamps, three-element Y-shaped headlights, bolder wheel arches, a rear sailplane, and modern tail-lights.
Mitsubishi’s design chief, Seiji Watanabe, said the new Triton was designed under its ‘Beast Mode’ concept, with “audacious and daring” styling.
“While expressing the toughness and powerfulness expected of a pickup 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,” he said.

A video published by Mitsubishi confirms the new Triton's cabin will be inspired by the latest Outlander, with a freestanding infotainment system – likely an eight- to nine-inch unit, up from seven – and toggle-like climate controls.
The brand's Super Select II four-wheel-drive system appears to be retained, with a newly-designed, more-premium control switch.
The new Triton was previewed by the camouflaged XRT Concept in March, which features Ralliart decals, additional spare tyres, and a beefy roll bar.
Overseas reports suggest the new Triton will retain its 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, as found in the current Triton and Pajero Sport.
It is unknown if Mitsubishi will upgrade the engine and transmission to better match other four-cylinder rivals, which have outputs closer to 150kW and 500Nm, a 3500-kilogram towing capacity, and a 10-speed automatic transmission for the latest Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok.
The current Triton produces 133kW and 430Nm, with a 3.1-tonne braked towing capacity and six-speed manual or automatic transmission options.

“We look forward to sharing more details of the development process, and of the new Triton’s Australian range, specification, timings and pricing as we move towards delivering this next-generation utility vehicle to Australian customers,” said the Mitsubishi Australia spokesperson.
While an off-road ‘Ralliart’ flagship variant to rival the Ford Ranger Wildtrak X, Toyota HiLux GR Sport, and Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior has yet to be confirmed, Mitsubishi vice president Hiroshi Masuoka said he would love to see a Ralliart variant at the top of every line-up.
“We know what Ralliart can do to the brand, and how it will elevate the brand... I'm not saying Ralliart is going to be what it was in the past – I think it'll be very different,” he said.
As depicted in our speculative renderings, we hope to see chunkier off-road tyres, lifted suspension, a beefier front bumper, and pumped guards.
A potential Triton Ralliart could even go as far as adding power – in the vicinity of 10kW/20Nm, like the AXCR racer. If it comes to fruition, the variant would likely be developed in-house by Mitsubishi, rather than an Australian second-stage manufacturer like Walkinshaw, as we’ve seen with the Triton Xtreme swansong.
The new Triton will be twinned with the next-gen Nissan Navara ute, due in 2025, with development led by Mitsubishi.
