Mitsubishi-Motors Australia has revealed a new limited edition model as part of the 2023 Mitsubishi Triton range. Based on the GLS Deluxe mode, the new Sport limited edition adds new styling treatments for a sportier look, while there have been minor changes elsewhere in the range as well, with a new infotainment system for GLX-R and GLS models and side steps for the GLX.
“We are very proud of Triton’s market performance throughout 2022,” said Mitsubishi Motors Australia CEO, Shaun Westcott.
“As part of continually evolving our product offer, we now welcome the new, limited-production Triton Sport Edition to Australia. This vehicle is perfectly placed to appeal to those who value a uniquely sporting style, combined with the capability, functionality and practicality that Triton is renowned for,” he said.
The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton Sport is new to the range and only 400 units of it will be available. It’s based on the GLS Deluxe model and is priced at $56,440 plus on-road costs – $1,500 more than the GLS Deluxe on which it’s based. For the extra cash, buyers receive a dark theme throughout, contrasting the chrome dynamic shield badging with black exterior trims.
Red accents are applied to the skid plate, side steps and rear section, while bonnet and tailgate decals are fitted too. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather with red stitching.
The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton Sport uses the same 133kW/430Nm 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine as the rest of the Triton range. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission as standard, and uses a claimed 7.8L100km on a combined cycle.
Elsewhere in the 2023 Mitsubishi Triton range, the GLX-R and GLS now use a factory-fitted 7.0-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the GLX now has side steps as standard equipment and the entry-level 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine has been discontinued, making the Triton range available solely with diesel power.
The 2023 Mitsubishi Triton range will reach Mitsubishi dealerships in December 2022. Stay tuned to DiscoverAuto for the latest automotive news and reviews.
