Im a bit of a fan of the Triton styling. It seems to blend the smooth and masculine trends just right.

My Ute came with a stylish front bull bar that wrapped around the lights as well as a tow bar. Ready for work and recreation.

Inside the GLX comes with hard wearing cloth trim, nine inch central touch screen and wireless smart phone connectivity. It also came with an old school key start and  vinyl floor covering with rubber mats. Very practical.

One feature I appreciated was the additional electronic lumbar support, perfect for my aging back.

Powering the Triton is a 2.4L bi-turbo diesel engine. This provides 150 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque. Peak torque comes in around 1500 rpm, which allows for controlled low speed work and easy cruising.

This drives through a six speed AT and easy select 4WD system. The GLX also comes with a rear diff lock.

This combination is simple, robust, and reliable.

Being a work Ute, it has heavy duty rear leaf springs, which can be a touch bouncy unladen. Payload is a bit over 1000kg.

Currently Mitsubishi is pricing the Triton GLX dual cab Pickup from $46,490 drive away and that’s excellent value.

The post Mitsubishi Triton GLX Pickup 4WD Ute driven for 2025. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This is a real workhorse of the range. Yet adds some comfort features. There are four models,  the GLX, GLX Plus, GLS and GSR.

Most models come with fabric seats, seats for five and a large work tray. The GSR comes with leather interior and a host of additional comfort bling.

On the GLS model I drove I appreciated the

• wireless charging tray for my phone,
• additional electronic lumbar support
• LED headlights and fog lights
• and the rear diff lock. Not that I needed it this time.

It’s a good looking Ute, especially with the contrast between the deep Impulse Blue body colour and dark grey 18 inch alloys, silver highlights, and black grill.

I find the Triton very easy to live with. With a 2.4 l bi turbo diesel engine it provides 150 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque. Interestingly the peak torque comes in around 1500 rpm and combined with a 6 speed AT it feels like you always have enough performance.

Some Utes, even though the headline figures read better, you have to work the engine. The Triton seems to just flow smoothly.

The Mitsubishi Triton strokes a good balance between work horse, off road performance and on road ride and handling.

The post Mitsubishi Triton Tray back Dual Cab 4WD Ute. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The workhorse 4WD Utes come in a wide range. With Single Cab, Club Cab, and Double Cab chassis styles as well as a double cab pickup. These are the GLX, GLX  Plus and GLX – R

The more recreational 4WD vehicle styles include the GLS and GSR. Unusually buyers can opt for these with a dual cab chassis format. These also come with a slightly different suspension setup aimed for more comfort.

All models come with a 2.4L bi turbo diesel engine. This provides some 154kW of power and 470Nm of torque.

The entry level 2WD work Ute comes with a 6 Sp manual transmission. Every other model comes with a 6 Sp automatic transmission. This is tried and tested reliable transmission.

4WD models come with a version of the Mitsubishi Super Select 4WD system.

Triton is rated to tow 3500 kg along with a 350 kg tow ball rating.

Pricing for the Mitsubishi Triton ranges from $34,490 through to $63,840 plus the usual costs. Given the pricing of other Utes the Triton remains excellent value.

However, the Triton remains a dependable, robust, 4WD Ute that is comfortable to drive around town. As well as capable of heading to the most remote parts of Australia.

The Triton GLS will tow 3500 kg and has a payload of around 1000 kg.

Priced from around $59,000 plus the usual costs the Triton GLS is excellent value. This model had the $1500 option pack that includes Black leather trim, heated front seats and power drivers seat.

Key Upgrades include:

• Localises suspension tuning and tyre choice.
• Restyled exterior and interior
• New 12.3-inch central screen with premium audio
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality

The Outlander is popular because it is terrific value for money. It also gives buyers a lot of choice with 5 or seven seat versions, Petrol or PHEV engines, and front or all-wheel drive.

Outlander 2025 also comes in five different grades, the ES, LS, ASPIRE and Exceed and Exceed Tourer. The PHEV also has a GSR version.

I’ve driven the Outlander a few times and I’m always impressed by the amount of interior space there seems to be.

Rear seats have two isofix point as well as three top tether points. With plenty of rear leg room there is enough space to comfortably fit a baby seat, and the boot is large enough to store the pram and other baby stuff.

I definitely prefer driving the PHEV version and like the extra luxury and features of the Exceed tourer or GSR.

Pricing for the revised model range will be released closer to the launch dates.

The post Mitsubishi Outlander 2025 model updates appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Outlander is a mid-sized seven seat SUV that is always great value for money. The Outlander PHEV GSR model is priced from a bit under $74,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

This is the top model in the range and comes equipped with a host of luxury, comfort and safety features.

Its style is somewhat sleek yet boxy but appealing.

Inside its spacious especially for the front two rows of seats.

The diamond stitched seats are comfortable and ventilated. I did like the layout, its simple yet effective and the infotainment system is intuitive to use.

The PHEV comes with a 2.5 litre natural petrol engine and an electric battery that provided about 70-75 real world kilometres on EV only.

Having said that a lot of owners will have a daily drive of less than that and if they can plug in over night, they can drive all week for zero fuel use.

The benefit is that there is no range anxiety as there is a 56 litre fuel tank as well.

The Mitsubishi Outlander faces stiff competition in the segment, but holds its own. It does feel a little dated in some areas but is a great choice for a family.

Mitsubishi is the latest to bring us such a Ute. It’s the Triton GSR Special Edition.

This is basically a bling upgrade. With a

• A Graphite Grey grille featuring embossed Mitsubishi lettering,
• a black sports bar and body-colour wheel arches.

In addition, all new Tritons have the updated Adaptive cruise control. This features full stop function, which remains engaged until the vehicle fully stops.

Buyers have a choice of Black Mica or Graphite Grey at no cost; Yamabuki Orange and White Diamond are available for an additional $200.

Re;eased early in 2024, the new Triton brought a host of improvements over the previous model. The most noticeable =is the squarer and bolder bonnet and grill.

The Triton comes with a 2.4L turbo diesel engine with 150kW of power and 470Nm of torque. This drives through a 6Ps Aisin AT and Super Select 4WD system.

Pricing for the Triton GSR Dual Cab Utility remains $63,840, while the new Triton GSR Special Edition Dual Cab Utility is priced at $63,140.plus the usual costs.

The post Mitsubishi Triton GSR SPECIAL EDITION appeared first on Motoring Minute.

I recently drove the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV mid spec Aspire.

There are three models, and obviously they add more luxury features as you go. Unfortunately, that also applies to safety as well.

Its comfortable and relatively spacious inside for this size of SUV. Its also quite stylish.

All models come with a  2.4 L 4 cylinder petrol engine. This combines with a 13.8 kWh lithium Ion battery.

The PHEV versions are AWD with twin electric motors. They also come with a single speed transmission and flexible regen braking. Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) and active Yaw control enhance safety and handling.

The EV only range is about 45-50km, but the vehicle can operate in normal hybrid mode as well.

Overall, I enjoyed my time in the Eclipse Cross PHEV. If you are methodical about charging and if you are doing mainly urban kilometres, then a tank of fuel will last a long time.
