The Mitsubishi Triton Hits The Market With 205 Hp And 47.9 Kgfm Of Torque, Positioning Itself As A Robust Pickup Capable Of Competing Directly With The Toyota Hilux.

Mitsubishi has just launched in Brazil the new generation of its iconic mid-size pickup, now simply named Triton. The name change abandons the L200 moniker and follows the brand’s global naming convention. Pre-sales are expected to start in December, while deliveries will begin in January 2025, inaugurating the 2026 line.

Revamped Design And Reinforced Chassis Of The Mitsubishi Triton

Manufactured at the HPE plant in Catalão (GO), the new Triton marks a significant evolution in the category. The sixth generation of the pickup arrives with a completely renewed chassis, which promises greater resistance and durability. With 60% more bending stiffness and 40% more torsional stiffness, the vehicle is designed to face the toughest challenges, both in urban environments and off-road.

The design also impresses. The body showcases modern lines, emphasizing the “L” shaped headlights, which, according to Mitsubishi, evoke the eyes of a predator. This visual signature is an element that sets the Triton apart from its competitors in the market.

Prices And Versions: A Range For Every Taste

The new Triton 2026 line hits the market with prices starting at R$ 249.990 for the entry-level version, intended for direct sales, and going up to R$ 329.990 for the top-of-the-line Katana version. Check out the prices:

  • Triton GL MT (exclusive for direct sales) – R$ 249.990
  • Triton GL AT (exclusive for direct sales) – R$ 259.990
  • Triton GLS – R$ 265.990
  • Triton HPE – R$ 284.990
  • Triton HPE-S – R$ 314.990
  • Triton Katana – R$ 329.990

The more sophisticated versions, HPE-S and Katana, offer the same equipment package but cater to different audiences. While the Katana features a darkened and youthful finish, the HPE-S sports a chrome look, aimed at more traditional consumers.

Power And Efficiency In The Right Measure

In terms of performance, Mitsubishi spared no effort. The new Triton’s engine delivers 205 hp of power and 47.9 kgfm of torque, combined with a six-speed automatic transmission. Although fuel consumption figures have yet to be released, the brand assures that the pickup will be the most economical in its category.

Additionally, the Triton comes with an enhanced traction system, featuring seven driving modes that adjust performance to the terrain type. The options include:

  • Normal
  • Eco
  • Gravel
  • Snow
  • Mud
  • Sand
  • Rock

High-Tech And Comfortable Interior

Inside, the Triton surprises with a modern and well-equipped interior. The 7-inch digital instrument panel is accompanied by a 9-inch multimedia center, with connectivity for smartphones and the ability to integrate up to two devices simultaneously.

Another highlight is the dual-zone air conditioning system, which now features air vents in the ceiling for more efficient cooling. The presence of physical buttons for controlling the main functions, such as temperature and air intensity, promises to please consumers who prefer practical solutions over fully digital systems.

The Katana version, for instance, comes with a 360º camera system, ideal for maneuvers in urban and off-road environments.

A Pickup For Diverse Profiles

The new generation of the Mitsubishi Triton arrives to reaffirm the brand’s position in the mid-size pickup segment in Brazil, where it already holds fourth place in sales. With a competitive price, bold design, and technological innovations, the model promises to win over both adventure lovers and those looking for a robust vehicle for everyday use.

Now, it remains to be seen how the market will react to these changes. One thing is certain, however: the Triton 2026 will not go unnoticed on the streets and trails of Brazil.
