Not satisfied with the top-spec Mitsubishi Triton Adventure X? Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM)now has something even more exciting – the Triton Knight. Announced today, this is a limited edition variant and only 120 people in Malaysia will get to own one.
It’s a special festive gift from MMM as you don’t have to pay extra for the additional items. The RM137,900 pricetag for the Triton Knight is the same as the Triton Adventure X and there’s also the best-in-class 5-year (or maximum of 200,000 kms) warranty.
The Triton Knight, powered by a 2.4-litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine, is available only in White Diamond and stands out with its grey-coated front bumper garnish and bonnet protector. Besides side window deflectors, there are also Knight stickers to identify this exclusive version. A sports bar also added to the sportiness of the truck.
Additional accessories at no extra charge
Additional accessories are scuff plates and exclusive carpet mats with red stitching and Knight embroidery. The Triton Knight also comes with a 7-Inch Touchscreen Audio System which is Apple Carplay and Android Ready so the majority of drivers can have maximum connectivity.
Like the Triton Adventure X, the Triton Knight gets an All-Round Monitor (ARM), a feature that uses multiple cameras around the vehicle to create a bird’s-eye-view. This helps the driver during parking and manoeuvring, especially in tight spots.
For added peace-of-mind while motoring, the Triton Knight has a Driving Video Recorder (DVR). Many motorists now fit one in their car but being a standard accessory, it is properly and neatly installed in the cabin. With a DVR running, there is a recording of any incident that might occur and this can be used as evidence if there is a dispute.
Cash rebates for loyal customers
If you miss out on getting the Triton Knight and still want a Triton, and you already own a Mitsubishi vehicle, MMM would like to reward you for your loyalty by giving a cash rebate of up to RM3,000 cash rebates on top of ongoing promotions (selected Triton variants).
In addition, pick-up truck owners of other brands who make a purchase of selected Triton variants will also be entitled to RM2,000 cash rebates on top of current promotions.
If you’re in the Desa Tebrau area of Johor Bahru this weekend and want to experience something different, drop by at the Mitsubishi Triton 4×4 Adventure.

Visitors to the Triton 4×4 Adventure event can also take part in the Mitsubishi Agility Challenge to test the vehicle’s handling.

These promotions are valid from now until December 31, 2019.
Pick-up trucks used to be just workhorses, vehicles that were bought for business purposes and therefore did not need much by way of features, comfort or performance. They were also priced cheaply because they didn’t have the luxuries of a passenger car. When the regulations in Malaysia changed in the late 1990s to allow private registration of such vehicles, their popularity rose but the new group of people who bought pick-ups wanted the comforts of their passenger cars. So the manufacturers began to add more and more car-like features and even safety systems comparable to passenger cars.
However, at the entry-level end, businesses still wanted a workhorse, something tough and capable in rough conditions to do hard work. And they naturally wanted a low price since they would buy many units. This led to companies offering variants that were fairly simple with basic specifications and even the drivetrain was 4×2 (rear wheel drive only), saving cost and weight and also having lower consumption.
To cater to this end of the market, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) imported the Mitsubishi Triton Lite from Thailand in 2008, in the process introducing the low-rider version to Malaysia. The low-rider pick-up truck is lower and that makes loading more convenient. As mentioned earlier, being intended for the entry-level end, the Triton Lite was priced low and also equipped minimally (though not as spartan as the earlier pick-up trucks).
The Triton Lite found its own niche in the market and as generations changed, MMM maintained the variant in the Triton range. Today, the company presented an updated version – now called the Triton Quest – to the media which has freshened looks with the distinctive Dynamic Shield front end. Though this variant has been around since the new generation was launched, the new looks now make it a workhorse that also looks good enough for use as personal transport. Those who want to enhance the looks can obviously install accessories (especially since they have saved money by choosing the cheapest Triton variant).
Under the bonnet is a 2.5-litre commonrail turbodiesel with an output of 110 ps/200 Nm, with power delivery going only to the rear wheels (4×2) through a 5-speed manual gearbox. While 4×4 is desirable, if the vehicle is mainly used on hard surfaces, 4×2 is not that disadvantageous.
MMM highlights the massive 970 kgs of load capacity of the Triton Quest and the cargo deck floor area as being the largest in the low-rider category. In spite of the large area, the cabin is still spacious, thanks to the J-Line profile which allows for good rear room. There’s also additional storage space in a compartment that cannot be seen as it is under the rear seats.
Features-wise, the latest Triton Quest can be said to be generously equipped for the asking price. Safety features and systems such as dual front airbags and ABS with EBD are present and occupant protection is assured by the strong RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body structure.
Priced at RM79,890 (without insurance), the latest Triton Quest comes with a 5-year (or maximum of 100,000 kms) warranty. It is available only in white but a Pearl White finish. This is unusual as entry-level variants usually come with a basic white colour to minimize production costs.
From today until the end of 2019, special hire-purchase (H-P) loan interest rates as low as 0.88% per annum are available for those who want to buy a new Mitsubishi Triton. Alternatively, instead of the low interest rates, customers can opt for cash rebates of up to RM10,000 (depending on the variant).
This promotion is in conjunction with the upcoming year-end festivities and is available only for H-P loans taken from Maybank or Public Bank (terms and conditions apply). The chart below shows the special offers for the different variants.
Besides the offers for the Triton, there are also special offers for the Outlander SUV which is available with 2.0-litre or 2.4-litre petrol engines. Cash rebates of up to RM4,000 are offered plus 2-Years of Free Scheduled Maintenance and RM2,000, and 2-Years of Free Scheduled Maintenance, respectively.
For those who want something smaller, there’s the ASX. Though in the market for some time now, it is still good value for money with prices starting from RM118,866. 4WD and 2WD versions are available and if you buy one during the promotion period, you can get a cash rebate of up to RM12,000.

2,644 owners interviewed
The study, which has been held annually for 17 years, involved 2,644 owners of Mitsubishi vehicles who had received delivery of their new vehicles between February 2016 and June 2018 and took their vehicle for service to an authorized service centre between February 2018 and June 2019.
The owners were selected by J.D. Power independently and subject to screening prior to being interviewed, and were not introduced or recommended by MMM. The study measured customer satisfaction with the servicing and vehicle-return process and was conducted between February and June 2019.
Rating the experience at service centres
To score overall satisfaction among owners who visited an authorized service centre for maintenance or repair work during the first 12 to 36 months of ownership, they were asked questions about based on five factors. These were service quality (25%); vehicle pick-up (21%); service initiation (20%); service facility (17%); and service advisor (16%). Mitsubishi Motors achieved the highest score of 791 points, 30 points above the industry average.
If you’re thinking of buying a new Mitsubishi Triton in the next few months, you have a choice of either paying a lower interest rate for the high-purchase (H-P) loan or get a cash rebate of up to RM6,000 to reduce the amount of the loan taken. This is the latest offer from Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) in conjunction with the upcoming Merdeka and Malaysia Day festivities.
Some of the conditions
The offer is for three variants of the Triton VGT – Adventure X (RM135,200 without insurance), Premium with automatic transmission (RM118,600) and Premium with manual transmission (RM112,500). The special interest rate is only applicable for H-P loans taken from Maybank. Only available while stocks last and vehicles purchased must be registered by September 30, 2019.
Additionally, MMM is also offering RM4,000 cash rebates for the standard Triton VGT with either automatic or manual transmission. These variants are priced, without insurance, at RM105,990 and RM100,200, respectively.
Cash rebates for SUVs too
Prefer a SUV instead of a pick-up truck? You can save money too as there are cash rebates of up to RM6,000 for the Outlander which is available with 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre engines. Cash rebates of up to RM12,000 are also offered for the smaller ASX which has 4WD and 2WD variants.

Speaking at the launch of the Triton, Tomoyuki Shinnishi, CEO of MMM, said “Pick-up trucks are the foundation of Mitsubishi Motors and the company has been producing pick-ups since 1978. Over 40 years, much experience has been gained not only in engineering reliable and durable vehicles but also understanding the needs of diverse customers. As such, Mitsubishi Motors has been able to keep improving the vehicles and today, we are proud to introduce the new Mitsubishi Triton as the fifth generation of a successful line of pick-up trucks.”
Shinnishi said that the company is confident this new model will be well received and accelerate the momentum of growth for MMM. The sales target for this year of 600 units a month and is expected to see an increase of 28% in Triton sales.
“With the concept of ‘Engineered Beyond Tough’, the project team strived to offer a vehicle which would be trend-setting, tough and safe. Besides drawing on 40 years of experience in developing pick-up trucks that are durable, reliable and comfortable, the new Triton adopted four pillars under the 4Sure Handling USPs: 4Sure Power; 4Sure Control; 4Sure Agility; 4Sure Safety. With these four pillars, customers are assured of a vehicle that is built to high standards and performance,” explained Mr. Shinnishi.
4Sure Power: The new Triton is powered by the award-winning 2.4-litre MIVEC turbodiesel engine with aluminum block for optimum performance and efficiency. The strong output of 181 PS of power and 430 Nm of torque is delivered to four wheels through a new 6-speed automatic transmission has also been added to improve driving efficiency and flexibility as well as providing seamless shifting.
4Sure Control: The new Triton is equipped with Mitsubishi Motor’s Super-Select 4WD II system, developed with decades of experience in off-road competition such as the Dakar Rally. The intelligent and robust system delivers optimum traction and handling characteristics over all surfaces. The Super-Select 4WD II system has a new Off-road Mode increased capability in different off-road conditions such as gravel, mud, sand and rock. When engaged, Off-road Mode regulates engine power, transmission and braking for optimum wheel traction in various terrains conditions. Additionally, Hill Descent Control automatically applies brakes on downhill terrain, allowing the driver to focus on steering operations.
4Sure Agility: Although the Triton is long and large, the iconic J-Line design enables exceptional manoeuvrability, especially with a best-in-class turning radius of 5.9 metres. This allows it to have better agility on the road as well as being able to get around tight off-road situations and during parking. The J-Line design makes it possible for such manoeuvrability without compromising on cabin space or load space.
4Sure Safety: The new Triton has a high-durability, high-reliability ladder-type frame and high impact safety cabin structure to provide the occupants with the best possible protection during an accident. This is complemented by class-leading advanced active safety and driver assistance systems that include Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM), which can detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead; Blind Spot Warning with Lane Change Assist (BSW with LCA), which helps avoid colliding with another vehicle when changing lanes by detecting vehicles behind or at the rear quarter and alerting the driver with an audible alert and flashing light in the left or right door mirrors.
An Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) is now fitted to help reduce accidents resulting from improper use of the accelerator when moving off or reversing in carparks and other confined spaces. This system sounds a buzzer and displays a warning if front or rear sensors detect a nearby obstacle. Engine output is also automatically controlled if the driver suddenly accelerates during such situation.
Also helping to enhance safety is Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) which helps avoid collisions when reversing by scanning the area on either side. If a vehicle is detected approaching, the driver will be alerted to take appropriate action. As before, a rearview camera is also provided which gives a view of the area directly behind the vehicle.
For convenience and added safety, the new Triton has an Auto High Beam system. The camera sensor detects oncoming vehicles and automatically switches to low beams so as not to dazzle other drivers. This allows the high beams to operate automatically for better illumination of the road at night.
The new Triton incorporates the latest evolution of Mitsubishi Motors Dynamic Shield design language. Fronting the newly sculpted body is a more powerful and imposing front face with a high bonnet line and bolder lamp designs. The lights and bumper elements contribute to the tough image while also adding visual width.
While retaining some of the original styling cues that made the previous generation a trendsetter among pick-ups, the designers have added body curves with contrasting sharp lines, extended wheel flares and bright accents that embody the strength of a Mitsubishi Motors pick-up truck and add modernity.
As with the exterior, the interior restyling also follows the theme of ‘Engineered beyond Tough’, with a sporty and modern feel. A sense of high quality will be felt with additional soft padding in seating areas such as the armrest and knee pads, with double stitching for a more premium appearance. In addition, the new Triton’s interior adds on Rear Smartphone Charger and Storage as well as Air Circulator with Individual Vents.
The new Triton is imported to Malaysia as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) vehicle from Mitsubishi Motors’ global production hub in Thailand. It is the only pick-up truck (up to 2.4-litre category in Malaysian market) with a 200,000 km or 5 years warranty for ultimate peace of mind driving. As an introductory offer to celebrate the launch of the all-new Triton, the first 1,000 customers will receive an exclusive limited edition Thule Subterra Luggage worth RM2,000.
