2024 Mitsubishi Triton reveal date confirmed, new teaser released

The new Mitsubishi Triton ute will be unveiled late next month, its maker has confirmed. Expect a larger body, brand-new underpinnings and bolder styling.

The next-generation 2024 Mitsubishi Triton ute is scheduled for unveiling in Thailand next month, ahead of first Australian showroom arrivals expected late this year or early next year.

Mitsubishi has confirmed overseas reports claiming the covers will be lifted off the first new Triton in nine years on 26 July 2023 in Thailand, where it will continue to be built for markets such as Australia.

Australian arrival timing is yet to be confirmed, however it is expected in local showrooms in late 2023 or early 2024.

Prices are due closer to this date – as well as details of what engine will sit under the bonnet, and if hybrid technology will be available.

The design of the new Triton has been largely unmasked by the Mitsubishi XRT Concept revealed in March 2023, previewing a boxier, more US-inspired look than today’s model launched in 2015 and facelifted in 2019.

While it may look like a heavy facelift of the old model, Drive understands the 2024 Triton is all new, with larger bodywork and a new chassis.

It will be the first truly all-new Triton in nearly 20 years, as the 2015 model sat on carry-over underpinnings that can be traced back to the previous generation launched in 2005.

Although the concept has previewed most of the final design, Mitsubishi has published four dimly-lit teaser images of the final showroom-bound model, showcasing its bolder design features and LED headlights and tail-lights.

The Triton pictured appears to be a top-of-the-range model to succeed today’s GSR – and in the same vein as the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Toyota HiLux Rogue, Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain and Nissan Navara Pro-4X.

It is distinguished by a black ‘sail plane’ sports bar, black roof rails, larger wheels, and what appear to be black bumper garnishes and mirror caps.

Mitsubishi is yet to confirm what will power the new-generation Triton, however overseas media reports have speculated on an updated version of the familiar 2.4-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder.

The current version develops 133kW and 430Nm; it remains to be seen if if and how it is upgraded to produce more power (such as an increase in capacity, or a second turbocharger).

In a media statement, Mitsubishi Australia said we are “a core market globally for Mitsubishi Motors, and we have been a key stakeholder in the next-generation Triton’s development process.”

The company said: “We look forward to sharing more details of the development process, and of the new Triton’s Australian range, specification, timings and pricing as we move towards delivering this next-generation utility vehicle to Australian customers.”
