The pickup truck segment is without a doubt, one of the most competitive segments in the Malaysian automotive scene. The moment one manufacturer updates a model it will be quickly followed by rivals in an effort to constantly stay relevant.
Just last month, Toyota launched the new Hilux with quite a bit of improvements, which means that it is time for competition to up the ante.
Aptly so, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia today announced that the Triton Adventure X has been updated. The model now gets an interesting new exterior colour option called Sun Flare Orange Pearl.
The new colour joins Jet Black Mica and White Diamond in the available colour line-up for the Triton Adventure X.
Aside from the new colour, a new silver stripe design for the Triton Adventure X side profile is also introduced for a more sportier and rugged outlook.
Priced at RM137,900, the Mitsubishi Triton Adventure X is the flagship model in the range, and will be taking on the Toyota Hilux 2.8 Rogue which was just launched last month.
In case you’ve forgotten what features the Triton Adventure X comes with, the list includes Super Select 4WD II system with Off-Road mode, Driving Video Recorder (DVR), All Round Monitor, leather seats, and a 7-Inch Touchscreen Audio with Apple Carplay and Android support.
Where safety is concerned, the model gets Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist (BSW with LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS), Auto High Beam (AHB) and 7 SRS airbags.
The Triton also comes with a warranty of 5-Years or 200,000km whichever comes first.
Powering the Triton is a 2.4-litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine producing 181 PS and 430 Nm of torque, which is paired to a 6-speed AT transmission.
