The Return Of The Mitsubishi Triton Single Cab

 The Mitsubishi Triton is once again available in single cab workhorse guise, a format that hasn’t been offered in the current generation until now.


Aimed squarely at business users, the new Triton single cab GL model is priced at R409 995, an R75 000 saving over the entry-level double cab GL variant announced earlier this year. Like the latter, the newcomer is powered by a detuned version of the familiar 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine, which in this guise produces 100kW and 324Nm.

The single cab is available exclusively in rear-wheel drive format, with a six-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle is fitted as standard with a limited-slip differential, which enhances traction by redistributing the engine’s torque to the wheel with the most grip.

As you’d expect, the entry model rolls on 16-inch steel wheels, suspended at the back by a leaf spring suspension system. The vehicle will carry up to a tonne, and integrated cargo hooks are provided to secure loads.

The cabin is workmanlike, to say the least, with seats upholstered in durable vinyl upholstery. Although the picture shows manual wind-up windows, Mitsubishi says the local model features electric windows as standard. It also ships with manual air conditioning, central locking, immobiliser, dual front airbags and ABS brakes.

After-sales back-up comes in the form of a five-year/90 000km service plan, three-year/100 000km warranty and five years of unlimited-kilometre roadside assistance. Mitsubishi says it has also considered the price of replacement parts carefully to lower the overall cost of ownership.

“The launch of the Single Cab is firmly directed at the fleet and small business market and aimed to provide a cost-effective solution in the face of the steadily rising price of fuel and the recent repo rates hike,” said Mitsubishi Motors SA marketing manager Jeffrey Allison.

“Offering a more versatile commercial vehicle range is a clear indication of MMSA’s consumer-centric approach of listening to and acting on the needs of customers,” he added.

Allison also stated that Mitsubishi was planning further additions to the Mitsubishi Triton range, with details to be announced later.

Tested: 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS 4x4

Image
The 2022 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport GLS is one of the few seven-seat SUVs on the market with proper 4x4 credentials As one of a handful of  seven-seat SUVs with proper off-road credentials  currently on the market, the  Pajero Sport  remains popular with adventure-driven families. And for good reason; it’s well-priced and comes with a generous warranty and class-leading after-sales support. In its current guise though, this  Mitsubishi Pajero  was first released back in 2015 and is somewhat long in the tooth - despite a mid-life refresh in 2020 that was largely cosmetic. With an influx of more modern large SUVs arriving locally - think Everest - is the ageing Pajero Sport still a worthy consideration? The 4x4 models that occupy  the Mitsubishi Pajero line-up  - GLX, GLS, and Exceed - with the choice of either five or seven pews available. The mid-spec GLS we have here is the cheapest entry point into a seven-seat 4x4 variant. Interior Despite feeling dated in certain areas, the Pajero Spo

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross vs ASX

Image
  What are the key differences between the entry-level ES variants of Mitsubishi's small-SUV duo? Introduced in 2017, Mitsubishi’s newest offering, the Eclipse Cross, is pitched as the model that bridges the gap between the Mitsubishi ASX and Outlander. And while this may be the case in terms of pricing, it has a lot in common with the ASX when it comes to size and practicality. The ASX is Australia’s most popular small SUV mainly due to its sharp pricing for the ES manual. Add a CVT auto and the price jumps, naturally, which is still a chunk less than the entry-level Eclipse Cross ES that comes with CVT as standard. So what does paying extra for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross get you over the ASX ES, considering both cars have the same 1810mm width and 2670mm wheelbase? The Eclipse Cross is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces the same power as the ASX ’s naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine, but considerably more torque. Like the ASX, the
