Mitsubishi Teases Triton Raider, an Australian-Tuned Off-Road Flagship
Mitsubishi says the Australian‑engineered variant completed Flinders Ranges testing ahead of a 31 March unveiling.
Overview
- Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirmed the Triton Raider after final pre‑launch testing in South Australia’s Arkaroola and Flinders Ranges, with a full reveal set for 31 March.
- Reporters expect off‑road hardware such as locally tuned suspension, extra underbody protection and all‑terrain tyres rather than powertrain changes.
- The Raider is likely to keep the 2.4‑litre twin‑turbo diesel rated around 150 kW and 470 Nm, with a six‑speed automatic and Super Select II 4WD anticipated.
- A single teaser image suggests incremental styling tweaks over the Triton GSR, including a revised lower bumper and a sports bar.
- Positioning is expected at the top of the Triton range against utes like Ford Ranger Tremor and Nissan Navara PRO‑4X, while questions remain over whether development involved an external partner.
