Following its appearance at the recent KLIMS 18, the refreshed Mitsubishi Triton is
currently on display at My Town Shopping Centre from December 7-9. This time,
we are allowed inside the pick-up truck, giving us our first look at the
Malaysian-spec interior that customers will get when the model is launched in
the first quarter of 2019.
The unit you see here wears the Adventure trim and features exterior
items like slim projector headlamps, 18-inch six twin-spoke alloy wheels with
265/60 profile tyres, chrome side mirror caps and door handles, LED taillights,
reverse camera, keyless entry, side steps, as well as front and rear parking
sensors.
Meanwhile, the interior equipment list includes a
leather-wrapped, multi-function, four-spoke steering wheel; multi-info coloured
instrument display; dual-zone climate control with rear ceiling vents;
touchscreen infotainment system; leather upholstery; Super Select 4WD II dial;
keyless engine start; powered driver’s seat; along with front and rear USB
charging ports.
Based on the visible switches and sensors on the
pick-up, the Triton in Adventure trim also gets a suite of advanced safety
systems like Forward Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change
Assist, which should be accompanied by Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation
System and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Other safety features as mentioned before are seven
airbags, electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Active
Stability with Traction Control(ASTC), Hill-Start Assist (HSA), Hill Descend
Control (HDC) and Trailer Stability Assist (TSA).
MMM has already confirmed that the new Triton will
come with the 4N15 2.4 litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine, as well as the new
six-speed automatic transmission that replaces the five-speed INVECS II unit. Order books are now open for the
Triton, with prices estimated to be around RM100k to RM140k on-the-road without
insurance.
