In addition, the Triton Athlete is also equipped with a styling bar and a black spoiler in the trunk, which is extremely convenient and unique. The pickup model is equipped with HID lens lights with better illumination.
Interior
The orange and black tones continue to be the highlight of the car's interior. Accordingly, the orange and black leather seats stand out with the Athlete logo in the middle. Other interior details such as the steering wheel, gearshift lever, door panels, and floor mats are all in sync with the stylish orange and black interior.
The Triton Athlete continues to take advantage of the largest interior space in the pickup truck market. The J-line design gives the Triton the widest legroom in its segment, with a 25° reclining rear seat backrest providing comfort for all passengers.
Included amenities include 8-way power driver's seat, 2-zone automatic air conditioning; Cruise Control, steering wheel audio control system; smart key and push-button start (KOS/OSS); automatic headlight and rain sensor...
Engine
This special edition is still equipped with the 2.4L MIVEC Diesel engine for the new Triton, launched in Vietnam in 2016. This is also the only diesel engine on the market equipped with the MIVEC electronic variable valve control system to increase capacity, save fuel and minimize noise. This engine block produces 181 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and maximum torque of 430 Nm at 2,500 rpm.
All this power is transmitted through a 5-speed automatic transmission, with sport mode and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a unique feature of the Triton in the pickup segment.
Drive system
Similar to the engine and gearbox, the 4WD-Super Select transmission system is also retained on the new version, allowing for the ability to change gears while running up to 100km and 4 flexible gear modes, including: 2H (one high-speed wheel), 4H (two high-speed wheels), 4HLc (two high-speed wheels with center differential lock) and 4LLc (two low-speed wheels, suitable for off-road running with center differential lock).
However, at present, Mitsubishi Triton Athlete only distributes the 4x2 AT version with a price of 746 million VND. According to Mitsubishi Vietnam, the Triton Athlete 4x4 AT version will be introduced soon.
