Mitsubishi has added a 2.5-litre Common Rail Direct Injection Diesel engine GLX Triton model to its popular two-wheel drive Triton utility range.
Generating 100 kW of power at 3800rpm and a handy 314 Nm of torque at 2000rpm, the new 16-valve inter-cooled turbo 2.5-litre diesel Triton is best suited to small business owners, couriers and trades people who require safe, comfortable and economical transport for both business and private use.
The 2.5-litre Common Rail Diesel engine combines power, efficiency, durability and reliability, and fuel efficiency with low vibration and engine noise.
Welcoming the addition to the popular Triton utility line-up, Robert McEniry, president and chief executive officer of Mitsubishi said: “Over the last twelve months, Mitsubishi has enjoyed a 40 per cent sales increase in the two-wheel drive utility segment, thanks to the arrival of our 2.4-litre petrol engine variant early last year. With today’s high fuel prices and the increased focus on environmental efficiencies, the new 2.5-litre diesel Triton model offers yet another economical option to our two-wheel drive utility customers."
The GLX Triton is fitted with Mitsubishi’s tried and tested front double wishbone coil suspension system with front stabilizer bars and rear leaf springs, with 16 inch front disc brakes and 11.6 inch rear drums with a 10 inch single master vacuum booster. These underpinnings, together with standard Electronic Brake Force Distribution, ensure the 2.5-litre diesel Triton range offers stable handling and a comfortable ride no matter what cargo the vehicle is carrying. Power steering is standard on all variants and the 2.5-litre diesel Triton delivers a tight 5.7 metre minimum turning radius for greater manoeuvrability and safety (11.8 metre turning circle).
Other equipment includes ABS and EBD, and Mitsubishi’s RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body system with front crumple zones to absorb collision energy as well as reinforced supports, including side intrusion bars, to further protect the vehicle’s occupants.
Available in Cool Silver, Red Plant and Gunmetal metallic shades, Black Mica and Platoon pearlescent finishes and White, both single cab and dual cab body styles are also available in the new diesel Triton priced from $22,990 for the single cab model, and $28,990 for the dual cab model.
