Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) has officially
announced the Mitsubishi Triton VGT AT Premium, a new variant, and the
Mitsubishi ASX Adventure. As previewed earlier this month, the latter is limited
to 60 units and gets a range of exterior and interior enhancements.
The ASX Adventure sports a new front grille design
with larger panels compared to the multi-tier arrangement on the standard car.
There’s also no more chrome. Elsewhere, a rear bumper garnish has been added,
which is linked to the newly added side moulding and fender guards, reinforcing
the rugged “SUV look” further.
A set of 18-inch five twin-spoke alloy wheels, which
are an inch larger than regular items, completes the overall look. The two-tone
rims are similar to the Outlander’s. Inside, you’ll find blue accents on the
door trim and black leather seats, along with aluminium pedals and air vent
rings. Based on the 2.0L ASX 2WD, the Adventure comes in Sporty Blue Metallic
and is priced at RM 123,988.
The Mitsubishi Triton VGT AT Premium is a new
variant that sits between the Triton VGT AT GL (entry VGT variant, introduced
in September this year) and the range-topping Triton VGT Adventure X. Priced at
RM 116,300, the VGT AT Premium comes with new design 17-inch alloys, leather
seats and a reverse camera with guidelines. The VGT AT GL, while cheaper at
RM 103,800, does without the larger rims (16-inch) and has fabric seats.
MMM has fitted a new design sports bar to
the Triton Adventure X, which is now priced at RM 126,990, lower than the
previous RM 130,900. No difference in specs, except for the sports bar replacing
the previous lid.
The Triton VGT is powered by a 2.4 litre MIVEC
turbodiesel with VVT, 181 PS and 430 Nm of torque. The pick-up truck range was
updated earlier this year, gaining a boost in safety equipment and features.
Imported CBU from Thailand, the Triton comes with a five-year/200,000 km
warranty.
