2024 Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R added to local line-up

Mitsubishi has added a GLX-R variant to its local Triton line-up, as part of a 24.5 model year update across the range.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen the GLX-R variant, either, as Mitsi fans will remember the GLX-R variant was introduced to the past-gen Triton MQ in 2020. Slotting between the GLX+ and GLS in the Triton line-up, the 2024 GLX-R is stamped with an RRP of $56,740, making it $3450 more expensive than the GLX+ it’s based on. Full range pricing below 👇

The mid-spec GLX-R dual-cab remains powered by the range-wide 150kW/470Nm twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine, which runs through a six–speed auto transmission. A rear diff lock is carried over from the GLX+, but unlike the GLX models the GLX-R is equipped with Mitsubishi’s Super Select II 4WD system with 2H, 4H, 4HLc and 4LLC only found in higher-spec models (GLS and above).

Also transferred from the higher-grade models is the ‘standard duty’ suspension which includes a high-mounted upper wishbone layout paired with 36mm shock absorber cylinders. The rear set-up features three high tensile steel leaves to stabilise on- and off-road control.

The remaining features applied to the GLX-R are cosmetic and include:

• Black 18-inch alloy wheels with ‘highway terrain’ tyres
• Black sports bar
• Leather steering wheel
• Fully carpeted floor
• Exterior door body mouldings
• Sidestep deletion

In addition, the GLX-R, GLS and GSR will get a dual-strut Tailgate Assist function, with the feature rolling out on the top-spec models in the coming weeks.

“We have taken on feedback from customers, media and most importantly the dealer network. The result is an enhanced model range and improved specification that we have been able to rapidly bring to market,” said MMAL CEO, Shaun Westcott.

“The GLX-R has always represented great value for money and this latest iteration has high visual appeal and true all-round capability,” he said.

The GLX-R will be in dealerships across the country from October 2024.
