2024 Mitsubishi Triton GSR review

05/05/2024

There’s a new Mitsubishi Triton in town.

With a new look, a properly modern interior, and a new turbo-diesel engine, it has been given a comprehensive overhaul for 2024.

Then again, it desperately needed it. The last Triton was a strong seller, but was looking incredibly old and creaky alongside the best-selling Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux at the top end – and was under the pump from stronger-than-ever LDV and GWM offerings at the bottom end of the range.

Sitting atop the new range is the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton GSR. Its tough looks on the outside are backed by a luxurious cabin, and a full suite of off-road add-ons.

CarExpert’s Take on the Mitsubishi Triton

The new Triton represents a big step forward relative to its predecessor, but it’s not perfect.

On the plus side? It’s better to look at than before, has a meaningfully more modern interior, and drives with polish on the road in a way its predecessor just didn’t.

It’s also still affordable relative to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and top-end versions of the Toyota HiLux, although you’re up for a lot more in 2024 than you would’ve been when it comes to the outgoing model.

But… the driver assistance technology needs work, as does the automatic start-stop system. They’re the sort of niggles that quickly become more than niggles if you spend a lot of time on the open road, and need to quickly be rectified if the Triton is to win buyers over.
