Mzansi<\/strong> bakkie buyers have spoken for years. They want more pull, trailer hitched or not, they want sharper<\/strong> responses on the freeway, and confidence when the gragvel after the last tar section gets sketchy<\/strong>. Mitsubishi has finally answered with the new Triton Bi-Turbo<\/strong>. Triton has been back in Mzansi for almost two years<\/strong>. While it hasn\u2019t made the big splash<\/strong> it should have with the buying market, the product itself leaves no questions unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched with a 2.4-litre turbo diesel<\/strong> back in 2024, that motor now runs a clever two-stage turbo<\/strong> setup. A small turbo wakes up early for minimum lag response<\/strong>, and the larger one keeps the boost<\/strong> coming higher up the rev range. The result is 150kW<\/strong> of power and a meaty 470Nm<\/strong> of torque available from just 1 500rpm. That is a solid step up from the normal 135kW\/430Nm<\/strong> unit, and you apparently feel it the moment you lean on the throttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power goes through the smooth 6-speed automatic<\/strong> and Mitsubishi\u2019s Super Select II<\/strong> four-wheel-drive system with rear diff lock. You can shift into 4H<\/strong> (4 high) on the move at up to 100km\/h<\/strong>. Towing capacity stays at a strong 3.5 tonnes <\/strong>and payload is rated at a full tonne, so the work side of the equation has not been compromised<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside, the Bi-Turbo gets the presence<\/strong> it deserves: roof rails, a styling bar, heated mirrors<\/strong> and a powered tailgate<\/strong>. Inside, the cabin steps up with faux leather and suede-knit seats, dual-zone climate control, a 22.9cm touch screen<\/strong> with wireless Apple CarPlay<\/strong> and Android Auto<\/strong>, and a digital driver\u2019s display. The full Mitsubishi Safety Sensing suite is standard: adaptive cruise<\/strong> control<\/strong>, forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert and a multi-around monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At R959 990<\/strong> the new car sits at the top of the Triton range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
