New Hyperpower clean diesel engine and new frame chassis

The newly developed Hyperpower 4N16 diesel engine comes in different output specifications to meet varying driving needs.

The high-output version in the Triton Athlete is equipped with a new 2.4L two-stage turbocharging system delivering a maximum output of 204PS (150kW) and maximum torque of 470Nm at a lower rev range, offering a strong balance of performance and efficiency.

Improved road performance through newly developed suspension and a mature 4WD system

The 4WD system enables the driver to easily shift to 4WD mode while driving by using a dial selector. The Triton Athlete continues to feature Mitsubishi Motors' Super Select 4WD-II, while the other variants are equipped with the Easy Select 4WD system.

The Triton Athlete equipped with the Super Select 4WD-II system offers the ability to select from the four options of 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (full-time four-wheel drive), 4HLc (locked center differential) and 4LLc (locked center differential with lower gears), which works in tandem with the seven drive modes including on-road modes - an increase over the four off-road modes in the previous model.

Along with Normal mode that is available in all 4WD modes, 2H offers Eco mode for prioritization of economy, 4H offers Gravel and Snow modes, 4HLc offers Mud and Sand modes for traction performance, while 4LLc provides Rock mode, allowing drivers to select the optimum drive mode for any condition.

The Triton Athlete also comes with a newly adopted Active Yaw Control (AYC) system that improves cornering performance by applying light braking to the inside front wheel when cornering. By applying the brake to a spinning wheel and distributing the driving torque to wheels gripping the road surface, it improves safety on slippery surfaces while also providing a sporty driving experience.

The Triton Athlete also feature a comprehensive suite of safety systems, such as Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Sport Warning with Lane Change Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert among others, to instil every journey with peace of mind.

Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC) that improves stability on winding roads is equipped as standard on all models. Other systems include Hill Descent Control (HDC), which maintains a set speed on downhill slopes to enable driving with confidence, and Hill Start Assist (HSA), which prevents roll-back in hills.
